My favorite personal/professional use of technology
My favorite professional use of technology has been using photographs of the children's families and friends and using it for 1:1 activities requiring showing understanding of familiar names; making TEACCH tasks using photographs real objects in their environment; making adapted literature using photographs

The most frustrating aspect of using "technology"
Getting a great idea but not having all the materials ready/fixed/batteries?/ink?

Book Discussion

1. What were the big ideas presented in the chapter? The big idea is that photography can also be used for children's reflection on their inquiry or data. Photography of a process or field trip can help the children reflect on why they did what they did - what was their thinking process?

2 What were 1 or 2 strategies presented that would be important for everyone? - taking pictures of the sequence of an activity (ex. planting a seed). The children will probably only remember the planting of the seed. Making pictures available that show the activity out of sequence and asking a small group of children to rearrange the pictures in order will prompt discussion and reflection on the individual steps taken. .
