chapter 11 response:
There are many uses of technology and their aids, both newer and older. one of the ones I couls possibly use in a classroom is a talking book. I could present this to the class, and have them follow along with an excerpt from a book, instead of me reading to them. another older aid in technology I plan on using is the TV. we will use this in the classroom to watch political debates, or movies or news shows. among the newer emerging technologies, I could get a great deal of use out of the document camera by projecting a copy of a government document and having my students analyze it. another newer technology I could use in my classroom would be the internet radio, maybe if the TV isn't working, a political speech would be on there, or listen to old Roosevelt speeches.

chapter 6 response:
Based on the information in chapter six, I would prefer to have less digital technologies in my classroom.  I would still like to have a computer obviously, and a TV to play movies and shows for the students, also a smart board for my classroom, but nothing out of the ordinary. In my own personal classroom I would prefer less because of the simple fact that the subject matter I plan to teach is History. Teaching American history and government does not require the use of too much technology, besides the occasional movie, and notes every day with some interactive activities for the students. I plan on getting my students to reach the creative side of their intelligence through the use of fun group projects and hand-made posters and other such activities. therefor, the use of too much technology seems almost distracting to my students with my subject matter.
