Chapter 6 Response

After reading chapter six I have decided that I would rather teach in a classroom that contains more digital technologies than one with less digital technologies. I think that by having access to several digital technologies a teacher can expand ways of creating creative, fun, and active lessons. By having digital technologies in the classroom a teacher can play a class game that can easily be read anywhere in the classroom, use microphones to playback vocabulary words and letters, and display pictures and videos. In chapter six it explains that "with almost any academic or administrative needs a software and or hardware that can get the job done." (145) I would love to use all the types of digital technologies, but I really believe that the e-book is something that I would pick first to use. I would pick the e-book to use first because I think it is a digital technology could save time, money, and space while keeping students interested. The e-book can save time because instead of having to wait weeks for ordered books to arrive a book can be downloaded. Also, the price of buying books online to download are usually a lot cheaper than buying hard back books. Space can also be saved because books will be on one device rather than three different class sets of books. Overall, I think that digital technologies can be a great asset to a classroom and the e-book is an example of how some digital technology can help students and teachers by giving great knowledge while saving time, space, and money.
