Games, Simulations & Virtual Reality in class and participating in a GPS Scavenger Hunt, reflect specifically on how you might use at least two emerging technologies in your future classroom.

Well, this week's computer class was very interesting. My class was asked to play around with computer games, simulations, and virtual reality. During class a friend and I were able to use a smart board to play games that we decided we could both use in our classroom. The emerging technologies that I really liked was the multiplying games on the Academic Skills Builder. As a future math teacher I would like to use the Grand Prix Multiplier and the Drag Race Division games. They would really work on the class's quick thinking skills.
The simulations and virtual reality that I have look through aren't really classroom appropreate. They wouldn't beneighfit a class of mine as far as I can see.
