Visualizing with Technology

Visualization is the key to success for children of today's society. This generation live through technology. Everything imaginable is done electronically through cell phones, iPads, iPods, Kindles, and many more. There is an app for anything you need at the click of a button. Since gaming play a signaficant  role in kids life today. It would be an advantage to incorporate some of this technology in the classroom. I believe it would motivate and keep their attention to be able to read from Kindles instead of regular text books. We often read things and don't get a clear understanding. Visual experiments and projects have always proven a great way to explain how theories work. As a student in history class reading our history book was boring but watching films gave more insight on our country's history.  School is so much more advanced today. We have access to so much more through technology. Visualizing instead of reading tend to stay with memory longer. Kids love gadgets. They enjoy hands on and figuring out how things work. Visual technology would definitely be an advantage for teachers.
