In this article a women from Baton Rouge, an all girls secondary school, uses technology in the classroom, and has had wonderful results. They used computer monitoring system and tablet PCs. It improved their excitement about math, and also improved their test results. The tablet can be used to monitor the student's comprehension as well as create collaboration between all the students. She can use her tablet to present her power point presentations (lessons), and she can keep notes for students that were absent. It is also useful because it has privacy, so those students that are struggling are not being embarrassed.
I think that it is interesting to see that technology is not something that we have here but that it is used all over in classrooms. I think this would be a great way to present lessons and also have them working hands on. I did take note that this was a secondary school, therefore I do think that it is a little easier to incorporate. Again you have to address the students that you are working with in a way that is most useful to them.
