Classroom Technology

One class that i used technology to learn was in my physical science class. Everyday 75% of the class was time for us to do hands on activities. Sometimes we had to use computers for simulations. We were able to use the computer to demonstrate what we would be doing if we were doing it as an experiment. It allowed me to change the values and see what would happen in different situations. One time we learned about gases and used the simulation to learn that. It was worth while to use because you cant see gas molecules changing in any real life experiment. We were able to use the simulation for that. We looked at things being heated and cooled and what happens to their molecules. It really helped everyone to visualize what it looks like when something is heated rather than just writing it down in notes. Everyone in the class enjoyed using the simulations and used them as a way to remember it. We were able to write down the answers to what was going on in a workbook. As well, our teacher made drawings on the chalk board and each group drew what it looked like in the glass on the board. It was a fun lesson and I still remember everything that I did it in.
