Question 3 of 50

How do you feel about computers in the classroom?

Schools may differ on their opinion of this, and accessibility to technology plays a significant role here. Try to do some research to see how much importance is placed on technology at the school. Chances are, like most schools, they are trying to find ways to use technology to improve students' education and help them become familiar with it. Give an example of what you have done or might do to use technology to benefit the students. If technology isn't readily available, may you suggest that your class visits the computer lab weekly or that you'll apply for grants to gain access to technology that could live in your classroom.

      Answer Example

      "I think computers are great tools to supplement traditional classroom activities. Teaching typing skills and allowing students to feel comfortable navigating a computer safely is an important skill to learn in elementary school. I can still introduce my students to tech without having computers in the classroom, though. At my former school, we visited the computer lab weekly. We also had a class set of iPads, but we used them in a supplementary fashion, and not as a primary tool. Technology can really bring the best out of some of our students, and I try to incorporate it as much as I can."
