Reflection 5

In the classroom where I tutored with AVID, the teacher used her projector almost exclusively. She organized her desks so that students could universally see the screen and have easy access to the information being presented. Rather than putting a schedule on the white board, she put her schedule on daily powerpoints that were always formatted the same so that students were never taken by surprise. I like the fact that she took that time to make powerpoints rather than write on the board. 
Additionally, she didn't rely on technology at the expense of her teaching. She showed videos occasionally, but students mainly wrote on white boards or had discussion, something which I believe there should be more of in classrooms. Her consistency and presence greatly aided her students' learning, and she used technology rather than the other way around.
