I think that the most influential piece of technology that we have learned about this far is the Smartboard. I feel that this is the future of learning in classrooms. They have not yet begun to peak of usage at all. It has many different functions that can be used plus i have seen it used in a classroom in high school because we had them. It can do many functions which keeps students interested in it as well as the teacher too. The touchscreen feature is very nice and it can be used to teach or to play games or to hook things up to it. Teachers love these because they are a very resourceful tool for the classroom and kids will pay more attention to it when is that much more interesting. The other things that we used this year were good tools and technologies but none of them are the future of techolonological classrooms. Things like blogs, webquests, movies and others will not be nearly as important as the Smartboard and its resourcefulness.
