How has this class affected your view of technology use in the classroom?
I have really enjoyed this class. This class has really opened my eyes as to how technology can be used in the classroom. Technology is an important part of our students' lives and we as teachers need to know how to reach them on their level.
What areas of technology would you like to explore further for use in your classroom?
I would really to learn more about Google Cardboard and other types of virtual reality technology. I would like to be able to incorporate this type of technology into my classroom because some students may never get to see the world outside of their neighborhood. My older son talks about how he uses this in some of his classes at STEAM and he gets really excited when he tells me how this was used in a lesson.
List 4-5 new things you have learned in this class and give an example of how you might use them in your classroom.
1. Voki - I will definitely use this in my classroom! This is the cutest thing ever and I think it is a neat and different way to do introductions.
2. Ipad Apps - I had such a great time learning about all of the different apps my classmates came up with. I loved how each one can be used for various grade levels.
3. Smart Board/Promethean Boards - I love how interactive this technology is. It offers new and exciting ways to teach and interact with students.
4. Google Site - This is was a super easy website to build. I love the flexibility it offers. This is something I will be using to keep my parents up to date on all of classroom happenings.
5. Glogster - Most students hate the dreaded book report. I love how this offers them a unique way of presenting their information. Not only can they use this for book reports, this can be used for any type of presentation. I really enjoyed learning about all of the different technology sites my classmate explored. I can see using many, if not all of them in my classroom.
