COE Tech Sandbox

I have decided to do my Independent Learning Project on the COE Tech Sandbox that we attended back in February. The Tech Sandbox had a plethora of different technologies that can be used in the everyday technically advanced classroom. The product that stood out most to me was the 3D printer, although this is not a product that could be used everyday in the classroom, I believe it could open up children's minds to the future and what it holds for them. What I would probably use most in my classroom would be the Smartboard. This product has a variety of different uses not only for me as a teacher through teaching lessons and presentations, but also for students to get involved in the classroom and actually wanting to precipitate in lessons. Although Google Glass is not used everyday and was actually taken off the selves, this technology could be used to show children the different technologies available to them. There was also technology like a digital keyboard and Oculus that were presented that opened my eyes as well to the different options for me personally in my educatio and for my future students. I am very excited to see what technology will be available to me in my time as an educator.
