This class has impacted my view of technology in the classroom greatly. Before I took the class, I was clueless on how to use technology. A technology that I would like to learn more about is the QR codes. This technology amazes me. First, Voki is a technology that I would like to use in my classroom. If I have older students, I could have students present their research projects this way to the classroom. Second, Microsoft word would be a technology that I would definitely use in the classroom so that students can learn to make tables and organize their observations in any subject. I could also use tables to sort pictures, words, letters, or just about anything. Third, Google calendar and Google voice are necessary in the classroom in order to keep in touch with the parents. I could also use the calendar in order to teach the children about the days of the week. Fourth, the Promethean board or Smart board are useful tools to enhance a child's learning. I would use these for any subject and create a game activity that teaches a subject in Teks. Fifth, IPods are a tool that I will hopefully use in the classroom to teach content areas. I would use the iPods to download Apps that can help students create, learn , and explore content areas. Lastly, I feel I have benefited greatly from this class, especially in my professional development. I recommend this class to beginning teachers.
