Technology in my Classroom

To be perfectly honest, I haven't really thought about the technology my teachers have used in the classroom until now. I have watched many videos during my years in school and I have seen a number of Power Point presentations. I haven't really ever thought about how these things have affected my learning, but now that I think about it, there have been a couple of times that my teachers have used to technology to enhance my learning experience.
Last semester my Foundations of Education teacher used a Power Point presentation to teach the class about the history of education. He lectured on the history of schools and school houses and then broke the class into groups to do a short group assignment. While we were completing the assignment the teacher left the pictures of old school houses cycling through on the Power Point. While I was doing the assignment, I looked at the pictures cycling over and over again. After the class was over I continued to remember those pictures on the screen in front of the classroom. I still remember them and they remind me of what the school houses of long ago looked like. The pictures even helped me to do better on my test. I really enjoyed those pictures and they really helped me to remember what I learned in class that evening.
Another time that I remember a teacher using technology that helped me to learn, was when I was in High School. My biology teacher used to show the class videos that went into more detail about what he had lectured on that week. We would watch the videos every Friday. They were usually related to animals or whatever else we learned that week. Not only were the videos enjoyable, but I still remember the things the videos covered. That visual stimulation really imprinted on my brain what my teacher was trying to teach me and my other classmates. To this day I really think that videos are a great way to enforce something students have learned, or even a great way to introduce a new subject.
