I feel that I have learned a lot of useful information this semester in CEP 416. I feel that I will use this information about technology throughout all of my teaching career. I really like the idea of having a class webpage. That way the parents of my students will stay informed on what is going on in the classroom and get to know me better. I think that communication with your students parents is very important and having a webpage will help. Another thing I think I will be using a lot of in the classroom is Wiki because I really like the idea of having all of my students work in one place. I also like how all of the students can have access to it, edit it, and can look at their classmates work.
I want to continue to explore SMARTboards because I have never seen one being used. I researched smart boards for week for my choice week and I really enjoyed learning about it. It is fascinating to me how much technology has changed even from when I was in school. Even though I did some research on smart boards, I would love to see one being used by a teacher in different classroom settings. I would also like to explore Prezi. I really enjoyed making a prezi presentation, but I want to learn more about it. I think it is a fun way for children to learn and I think it is something students would really love.
I agree Erica! Technology has taken off since we were in school. Its so crazy but so exciting too. I cant wait to see where it goes
ReplyDeleteI think what's interesting is that my generation typically thinks your generation knows it all about the digital/tech stuff when in reality most just use facebook and texting and not much else. As teachers we need to remember that students don't necessarily know what we expect them to know.
