Chapter 4 Reflection
This chapter is about digital technologies in the classroom. It introduces scanners which is where you can convert printed or images into a digital version. It gives a description on Digital Cameras and talks about how the higher the resolution the sharper the picture. Some other input devices that were new to me were graphic tablets, sound input devices, and pen input devices. Having these different devises will help those students with disabilities. For example touch screens are talked about which will be useful to students with limited motor disabilities. In several of the classrooms that I have observed in they have electronic whiteboards. I think that every classroom should have them because it allows students to go up to the board and write or draw on them, then what ever is captured is saved as a digital file. I also think that the E-book is going to be a really big help to those students with disabilities. The E-book displays an electronic multimedia version of a book, and can also let you take notes as you read. It just amazes me how far technology has come today.
