Technology in the Classroom

My fifth grade teacher, Mr.Clopper, made sure to make learning fun. I had Mr. Clopper for all subjects of the day. He was an inspired cartoonist. He had his serious times but the year flew by from his genius teaching methods. He told the 30 students in our class that we would all thank him for our keyboard sessions. The computer lab had around 50 computers. That was nicew because during our whole Language Arts block each student had a computer of their own. He had us in the computer lab twice a week working stricting on Type to Learn. Type to Learn teaches the correct way to type while making it fun. With success, you increased in level and difficulty. The game also detects if you are incorrect with spelling or hand placement.
From time to time, I pause and think of how thankful I am to be a fast typer. I have noticed that it helps for every online assignment and typed paper. I probably save hours of homework time with my typing skills. I owe this all to Mr. Clopper.
