A paragraph on what technology-related skill you would most like to learn next, and why. A paragraph on ways in which you might achieve your future educational technology-related goals. This post is due by Nov. A reminder of your Final project.
The most interesting thing that I learned while looking at other classmates blogs was all of the web 2. 0 tools that everyone talked about. I loved looking at the interactive websites for students, and seeing how they were set up. I used the website ABCya. A website for kindergarten! The games are pret.
The next technology-related skill I would like to learn next would be working with SMART boards. The SMART boards is what my group decided to do our final project on and this technology is very interesting to me. I would love to beable to use one perfectly in my own classroom and use the amazing skills to better my students education.
We had many blogs asking our opinions on different technologies, and how or if they would be in corporated into our own future classrooms. I got many good ideas that I would never have thought of from reading these other blogs. I think that in my classroom, I would choose to use a few peripherals. I think that devices such as audio books would be very useful in elementary.
Adaptive technologies are relatively new for our generation. Now they are coming out faster and faster. These tools help the learning process and aid in the learning of multiple subjects. I myself have never used adaptive technologies. They are new to me, but need to start to get familiarized with them. For the review of a web-based resource I chose the website Britannica online. It is an online encyclopedia bas.
I liked seeing what people thought about Web2. It was interesting to see what age groups they were teaching and if they were targeting more the parents or students to follow or interact with them online. A 2-paragraph review of an interesting web-based resource that you might use when teaching. Be sure to include a link to the resource, and check out the ones that your classmates have shared as well. Excel will be a good tool .
I plan on using a lot of Youtube. Another negative to Youtube is the more recent addition of video posters being allowed to post comments within the video. I will need to evaluate each video before presenting it to be sure no comments have been made using inappropriate language or comments that are not relative to my material. Another concern would be that comments may cover visual aspects of the video that may be important in the overall viewing.
A topic I found most interesting from my classmates blogs was the topic about the concept maps. I enjoyed reading why people liked and disliked using the concept maps. I also enjoyed seeing different pictures of the concept maps that people made. I really like using the concept maps they were an easy way to help the students stay engage in what we are learning. I grew up with technology all around me and all the stud.
