Giving my students access to laptops allows me to change the way I present information to them. I will be able to use digital whiteboards to present notes or videos. They will have access to an online library, and instead of having students draw posters, they can design websites to share course content. Students will be able to complete virtual labs. Virtual labs involve recreating lab experiments in a safe online format. For instance, instead of conducting an acid-base indicator test in the classroom, where we may not have the necessary materials and safety gear, they can conduct it safely on the computer. They could also conduct a virtual dissection, as opposed to the expense of ordering specimens for every student. Technology is a critical component in designing instruction for students in the digital age. Technology can help students' process information and make sense of their topics. They will have the ability to create virtual note cards, graphic organizers and use digital notebooks. Being able to offer the use of technology to my students in the classroom, will motivate students to reach their educational goals.
