We are actually very lucky because we were placed in a classroom with a lot of technology (OK, not a ton, but a lot more than I had growing up that is for sure). The teacher in our classroom has an overhead, a laptop, four computers for the kids, and a projector to hook up to his computer for any kind of presentation he wants to give. Mr. Wyatt is also the webmaster for the school which means he does all the website stuff for Cascade Elementary.
I have been able to see him use PowerPoint's in the classroom to help display vocabulary and definitions. I think this is a great idea but he just put the word and it's definition on the PowerPoint. I think it would be neat if he not only had the word and the definition, but also a picture of the word. For example, on this weeks vocabulary list, he has words like waders and tributaries. It would be a snap to find pictures of those words and trow them onto the PowerPoint to help our visual learners and our ELL students remember what these words mean.
