ILP Participation - Technology Sandbox Tour

The field trip to the tech sandbox was an awesome and unique experience. There were many interesting technologies such as a Smart Board, a 3D printer, virtual reality, and more. I think my favorite piece of technology for educational purposes would be the Smart Board. It's great for videos, writing/drawing activities, 3D diagrams, and so much more. I feel like it takes a white board and combines it with a projector in an advanced way that allows for a great deal of student and teacher interaction and keeps the students engaged. I had these when I was in school and they honestly helped a lot with my understanding as well as my presentation skills. I also loved the 3D printer, but I don't feel that as a teacher I would find much use out of it in the classroom. Overall, though, I got to learn a lot about some really cool technologies. Pictured is the Smart Board since I found it most useful for the classroom.
