Chapter six and eleven

Chapter 6:
I would like to work in a classroom with more technologies. This is because I am going into special education and technology is very useful in that type of classroom setting. Also, technology makes learning more fun and hands on, which is what i prefer.
Chapter 11:
audio-  talking books is one traditional technology that could be used in the classroom. Teachers could use this when reading a book in class or send it home with a student who has missed class.
        -microphones is an emerging technology. Teachers could use this when teaching so that all students can hear the lesson. Also, it could be used when students are reading a book aloud during class. Each student could take a turn reading while using the mic and it makes learning fun.

visual- smart boards is an emerging technology that could be used in the classroom. I think it would be fun way to teach students. Also the students would have fun learning. It is a large screen so all students can see the notes on the board.
          -overheads projectors is a traditional technology that was used in classrooms. Art teachers could use this to show the students how to draw or trace something. Elementary teacher could use it to show the students how to write the alphabet.

Super Bowl Commercial

My favorite Super Bowl commercial was the Doritos commercial about the guy teasing the dog. I thought that all the doritos commercials were good but the one with guy teasing his dog with a bag of doritos was hilarious. In the commercial, the guy was holding a bag of doritos by a glass door as he called his dog. The dog came running towards the door and knocked it down and stole the bag of chips from his owner. I thought this commercial was funny because they used a little dog that wasnt very tough looking and had it knock down a huge door to get the doritos. The dog was like, "Take that owner!"
