Technobiography. Technology has always been used in classrooms, however, some technology experiences are more helpful than others. Since I am a math major, I always found it convenient when my teachers have their graphing calculator projected onto the screen. I never had this in high school, so when I came to college it was a refreshing change. Projecting the calculator helps me out a lot because there are so many buttons and options that I get confused. The best part about this technology is that it makes things more fair in the classroom. For example, some students can use the calculator fast and accurately, while others get confused and need to work on it slowly. With this technology, everyone in the classroom was able to get to the same screen at the same pace as everyone else. Also, once you see something done step by step on the graphing calculator, you have more of a chance of being able to do it again. Projecting the calculator also makes things a lot easier on the teacher and makes the lesson go faster. Instead of walking around and helping every student individually get to the screen, teachers are able to do it one time slowly in the front of the classroom for all students.
