Reflection Midway

I was really impressed with some of the technology that they had out there in Midway. Almost every classroom has a microphone system for the teacher to use while she is teaching. It just hangs around her neck while she teaches so it doesn't get in the way. There is also a microphone that you can pass around to the students if they are presenting or if they are giving an answer. This way everyone can hear and the teacher doesn't have to speak loudly. There was also a CD/Cassette player with headphones that the students can use to listen to stories while they followed along. There were also six computers along one of the walls that the students work on everyday during reading centers. They seem pretty proficient and enjoy using the technology. I think I might use the video we watched in class today and have the students either write something about it or write a sequel to it. they can even writ the movie from the aliens perspective or the monsters perspective.
