My view of technology in the classroom has changed immensely. I knew that technology has become more integrated into the classrooms than when I was in grade school; but what I didn't know was about all of the different ways you could incorporate technology to make assignments more exciting and enticing. The iPad apps assignment really brought to light of all the apps that can be used for educational purposes. I would really like to use many of the apps that were displayed in my own classroom for projects and assignments. Google sites will be a wonderful communication tool for me to use with both my students and parents. The lessons on the Smart boards and the Promethean boards was probably the most beneficial to me because I am positive that at least one of these will be used in my classroom. I would like to explore either of these in depth so that I am getting the most use from what they can offer. My favorite thing we learned about was Google Cache. This was a lot of fun. I can see possibly doing a scavenger hunt with my students by using this app.
