Chapter 8 deals with the hardware aspect of technology. I feel like this is a subject most people don’t pay enough attention to. I myself am also guilty of this. Often I don’t pay enough attention to how something works; I am often focused on how it will work for me. Then I find myself, after a purchase questioning the quality.
Technology is a must for teachers. With budget cuts and money tight, we must realize the importance of quality products. When we do the proper research and buy useful, quality products they last longer. Just like in Chapter 8, teachers must test hardware. They must make sure it is good, and going to work for them. They have to utilize new products with current products in the classroom. Nothing could be worse than buying great technology and not being able to use it.
I especially liked the establishing criteria for review. The steps provided a checklist for when I teach to insure I am investing in the right hardware for my students and for me.
