Technology Use in the Classroom

I set my classroom up back in 2003 with a setup that I still use today. I have one computer with a network box that allows three student computers to view only the specific items I place into the shared file folder of my computer. I use ExamView to make tests and the students must login with their password to take each test. Once completed the test is automatically corrected and the score is entered into my virtual gradebook. For lesson delivery I use EPEE Software for Teachers. I just drag and drop a copy of the tests, presentations, worksheets, videos anything you want into EPEE and it holds it in the order I teach. Each year you just start at the top and work your way down. Anything you find online and or in any file format can be dropped into an EPEE cell. You end up with lesson modules that make it very easy to keep on track. Click the cell and you can print or project to your screen anything in an instant. There is no easier or better way to develop, organize and present your curriculum. Any room can be a classroom with a laptop, projector, printer and EPEE! Google EPEE Software for Teachers and try the free trial.

This sounds like it would be great to use in the classroom. I think it is great that you can have students only view certain items because we all know that there are a lot of not so educational things children can find on the computer. By having tests and quizzes online this cuts back on paper use as well, GO GREEN! Do you have to put the answers into the computer for the tests and do you have multiple ways of answering a question, or does the computer create these? EPEE allows you to store all your work so that the following year you can just pull it up and use it again and make minor changes if needed? This sounds like a fantastic technology tool, I am so glad you introduced me to it!

I'm working on it. I recently received a grant that got me a Tablet PC and a Mimeoboard. The Mimeoboard hasn't been installed yet, but I use my tablet for everything, from projecting lessons up on a screen to taking running records and anecdotal records.
