Chapter 6 Response
After reading Chapter 3 I have gathered that I would like to teach in a classroom that has some digital technology but not to much. Firstly, because I will be teaching high school English (and hopefully theatre and drama), a lot of technology is not needed in that aspect. Also, many of it is not applicable to the subject matter. I would like things such as Smartboards so I could display powerpoints and other things for my students during class. Some computers would be nice to have for students to work on papers and such. However, English is mostly reading and writing. Personally, I dislike ebooks, so I would not transition my class to those if it was even an option. I think we need to stay to our roots with things like that. There is something special about reading from a book, that technology cannot claim for its own. Though, if I did teach theatre, I would need to teach technological theatre which would get into light and sound boards and all kinds of technology.
