I can see clearly now that I am Visualizing with Technologies!

When I first read the chapter title, Visualizing with Technologies, I immediately thought about computers and calculators and graphs. After reading further though I realized that I use some of the things that apply as these visualizing technologies I have used before and didn't even know it! Things like cell phones and digital cameras... who would have thought! I like how this chapter talks about things that we use all the time and our students will definitely be informed on how to use these tools and much more. I think that video has become a major part of our students' cultures. Teachers are using video more and more to help students see and understand concepts in a way that is different and much more interesting than reading and seeing it in textbooks. Programs such as youtube, teachertube, and brainpop are making it even more easy for teachers to access visual aids for teaching lessons. This is a big change even from when I was a student, we watched videos sometimes and most of the time they were old and outdated, now students have the chance to view interesting videos and even make them themselves. These tools are useful to our students and I know that I will implement the use of these things in my future classroom.
