I am not that familiar with technology tools and the technology programs I use help my students with reading comprehension and with math fluency. My students use I-station in English and Spanish that works with reading comprehension. They also use Accelerated Reading program that quizzes them on the books they read. For math they use Front Row that is a math program that adapts to students abilities and allows them to play with points from passing the math quizzes. Something that is new to me that is not to most teachers is the "Smart Board". The Smart Board is an interactive board that I use mostly during my math block. I have only been using it since the beginning of this school year and I am still learning. What I like about it is that I can pull up the digital version of the students math workbook through the projector and I can introduce the lessons to the kids and use the interactive pen to write on the smart board. I know teachers have probably been using this for years, but this was completely new to me. The kids love coming up and using the interactive pen to work out their math problems. Since using the interactive smart board in my class, students are more excited to work on math and look forward to be picked to come up and workout the problems in front of their peers. I know it's the right tool for my math block because students are excited and not nervous to work on math even if it's in front of their peers.
