I believe computers are becoming more and more popular in classrooms (no matter how hard people try to prevent it, things change). As I continued my education, I've seen more and more technology used in classrooms, from tests composed on Microsoft Word, to presentations done on Microsoft Power Point, and even graphs done with Microsoft Excel (I know it seems like it's only Microsoft Office, but its the most accessible program for teachers). Using computers makes teaching reach a whole new level. My only concern with computers being used my students and teachers is online teaching, it brings the online experience too far, it takes kids away from school, where they gain necessary social skills for the real world. I do agree that computers can be used to help teaching, but I don't believe it should be used to teach.
When I teach, I don't expect to use much besides what I listed above (using Microsoft Office) because I will be teaching Elementary School. If by the time I get to become a teacher students can use Black Board, I will as well. That is one thing I would like to learn in class, how to use Black Board from the teachers point of view.
Hey class mates! I can't wait to become a teacher. I didn't know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, but now I will be just walking and I jump because I am so excited about teaching. I never thought I would become a teacher when I was growing up, I thought teachers sucked and that I wanted a lot more money then what teachers make. But now I don't care about the money, I'll deal, besides my girlfriends gonna be a doctor, so she'll be my sugar mama. :P
