Share what you have learned in this class and the technology projects you’d like to use in your classroom.
I’ve learned to do some things I’ve never known about technology in this class. In high school I had a hard time learning about power point let alone other things. I took computer classes, because I wanted to learn how to work the computer.
When I graduated I asked a friend that works with computers what would be a good computer that would last for years. He told me without hesitation, he told me Apple. My friend helped me get my hands on an Apple laptop. I have some neat technology at my fingertips, I just have to learn how to use it. This class gave me time to practice some of the neat things that the different programs do. I got to produce a podcast, a short video, and make a webpage. Also, I’ve learned how to blog and how to use a Wiki. These are useful and fun things to do; I wish I had more time to do this!
Right now I’m working with a seventh grade girl, and she will be making a podcast. She’s going to do a podcast on white tigers. She will be researching information about the white tiger and finding pictures. I can see using podcasts in my future classroom to get the students excited about research and speaking out loud. I hope I’ll try some different technology with my future students, because there is always going to be new technology to use.
Podcasts are definitely a great tool! I didn't know anything about them until this class, so I have really appreciated being able to learn more about their use.
