Today in class

Today in class we researched no child Left behind act. After researching it i realized that there was not a Major increase in test scores. If theres not a significant increase in test scores i feel that it is a huge waste of money.

Day 23

Today in class we learned about smart and interactive whiteboards. I personally feel that they would be very helpful in classrooms,and i think they would save time in lessons that involve showing a video or accessing the Internet. Evidence that supports my view in the article is, "[Interactive whiteboards] can enhance any lesson and entice students to learn. With the use of whiteboards,teachers can develop many creative ways to capture students’attention and imagination" (Reardon 2002). That is how i feel 100%. I am a visual learner and i feel if i would have had a smart board in elementary school i would have made better grades and payed attention more.
