Updates on Technology

This class has made me try so many new kinds of technology that I didn't even know existed. When this class began we had to do certain projects that I was a little unsure about and was also unsure how to incorporate into my classroom. The digital text that we made was somehting very easy to do using power point. My students have also made power points of what they want to do when they grow up. I really enjoyed doing the webquest about frogs. My students are getting ready to learn about lifecycles and this is a good way to incorporate that into my lesson. I have done webquest in the past with my students and I knwo that they enjoy working on them. My students also created a wiki ( which they thought were very cool) on matter. This was a great way for me to assess my students knowledge in a fun and exciting way. I see myself using wiki's again in the future, I believe that this is a great assessment tool. Podcast was also exciting for my kids to create. I thik that podcast could be very useful to inform parents of upcoming events in the school or in the classroom. The thing that I feel that has been most useful to me is the social bookmarking. I have a lot of my websites in my favorites that I am unable to access at school, now I am able to find them at school when I need them. This technology class has taught me so much and I feel that my students have learned more about Technology through me. Using technology has shown me other way to assess students learning.
