1. The media specialist was concerned about the environment one computer would put the classroom in.

3. I would start with resources that would benefit the students the most, starting with a SMART board if one is not already available. SMART board's make it more interactive for students, allowing them to come up to the board and make things move and write down their answers, bringing the old chalkboard to more modern standards. Also with having the SMART board I would get some programs for game-like activities that help with counting or certain mathematic subjects.

It sometimes involves more work to put it into the coursework but some students do benefit from seeing lessons through technology instead of just a book.

3. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions. The teachers can know if they are making good decisions by how their students are responding to the information they are given. If the class isn't understanding a concept then it is time to change something, or bring in some new ways of learning.
