TED+Talk+1

This TED Talk is very interesting for 2 reasons. The first being that it includes an inexpensive way to turn any computer and projector into an inexpensive smartboard (it still lacks some features, but as he say "80% of the features for 1% of the cost"). This alone was a valuable reason to watch this video. The main reason that this video was interesting though, was the attitude that this researcher took toward technology. He was not limited by what the technological device was created - he created new uses for all of them. This attitude is not only valuable when working with technology as a teacher, but also as a teacher in general. As a teacher, we must do the best for our students and sometimes (most of the time) that requires being highly creative. With technology we must constantly look for new uses for the technology we do have in order to bridge the gaps in our students' learning.
