1.)   I believe that presentation software such as Microsoft Powerpoint, would be very helpful in my classroom. That would enable the teacher to present information both audibly and visibly to children. This would increase the chances of the children being able to retain the information because not all children learn the same way so giving them something visual to relate to what their hearing would help very greatly. Also it helps the teacher, helping them to plan out their lessons and how to present the information to the class.

2.)   I would use PowerPoint a lot in my classroom to present information to the children. There would be a lot of instances in a history class where the PowerPoint format would help a lot in categorically breaking down information so that the children can process and better understand it. Using PowerPoint could help show dates, names, and events in an easy to understand manner.

3.)   I think that one of the major problems having to do with technology in the classroom is the lack thereof. All throughout Florida especially there is a lack of technology available in the classroom and I think that in order for us to continue to improve our education system we need to bring technology more into the classroom to help enhance the learning process.
