Classroom Technology Inventory

I was honestly shocked at how little technology is available at Sage Creek. I understand that they do not get the federal funding like title 1 schools, but I still think that there should be more technology in the school. It just seemed like this school is a little behind times. In the newer classroom they have more technology but in the oldest classrooms (were I am at) they have hardly anything. A few years back they got microphones to project their voice to their classes but that took a little bit of fighting. In my classroom we have 4 computers; 3 student computers and 1 teacher computer. The students have access to the Internet through their computers and they play a few games that are available on the district website. Their teacher has also put a few games on the computers for the students.

In the computer lab students from K-2 get to play on the computers using games such as math games, games to help tell time, and spelling games. Students do not start typing classes until 3rd grade though. In the school they do not have a computer technician and so during computer time the teacher has answer any questions that may come from the students. If the teacher doesn’t know they have to go and find another teacher that can possible help them.
