My name is Ayla Wheeler. I am currently working and studying at college while doing my student teaching. One thing I really love to do is sing, it is something I will do anywhere. Because of this music is a big part of my life and I wish to incorporate that part of my life into my classroom. I two animals which one is a cat and the other is a dog. I have participated in musicals and plays before as it is another one of my interests. I enjoy going on trips to different places and seeing new things.
VR Headsets: I plan to use these in my classroom because I think it would be good for a virtual tour of something the kids are learning about. It helps them learn without the outside distraction of the class.
Floor Robots: I believe that these robots would be good to use for a math lesson about shapes. These robots help students visualize the shape and it will help engage them because it is more fun.
Desktops: These allow students to get onto informational websites and it is good for everyday learning. I believe that students can learn well with the use of these pieces of technology.
3D Printer: This allows students to design and have fun making different objects. I would use this to encourage students learning with incorporating something fun.
Projectors: I will be using these to display information for children because I believe that it is important that students can see what they are learning about.
Electronic Whiteboards: I would love to use these in my classrooms to be able to get my students to engage in their learning. They would be able to come up and write down answers etc.
Clickers: This allows students to show how they feel about what they just learned. I think it would be a good tool to help students.
Robots: I would love to incorporate robots such as the ones called ozobots because it helps the child learn coding. I think it is good for students to learn with hands on devices.
Tablets: I would allow the use of tablets because I do believe that it does have a lot of good learning tools on it. But I would not allow students to overuse it because they cannot just learn from the tablet.
Kahoot: I would allow the use of kahoot because it is a fun way to quiz your students. The students will love to take the quizzes with kahoot because it is fun and competitive.
