Week 15

I've learned so much in this class over the course of the past semester. A few of the major things I've learned include:

-How to use powerpoint
-How to create a classroom website
-How many different things Google has that I could use in my classroom
-How to use Microsoft Word

I will be able to include so much more in my classroom because of this class. I will be able to use technology to keep my students active and involved.

The video for this week was the Schoolhouse Rock. I really love this video because it uses a fun and creative way to help students remember the importance of a noun. The students will be better able to remember what a noun is and how to use it in a sentence because of this video. What a great way to teach your students!

Week 14

We learned a lot about Powerpoint and Google Presentations this week. I really enjoyed working with Google Presentations. It is so cool that we can collaborate together to create a presentation. There's a variety of tools and options provided that give the presentation so much character.

I've really enjoyed learning more through this class. I've learned so many things about Google that I never knew existed. They will really help me in my future teaching career.

This week's video was great! I remember watching it when I was in elementary school. I love this video because it is very educational while still being interesting and fun. They present the information in a song and by doing so they give their viewers a better likelihood of remembering what they have seen. It is a fun, upbeat video that is very memorable.

Week 13

I am really enjoying this course because I am learning so much. I am learning how important technology is in education. The world is changing and there is so much more we need to be teaching the future generations.

There are many applications we've looked at. A few of my favorite include kidspiration and powerpoint. I love these two because they give such a variety of tools. It allows for creativity while learning.

I viewed the video, The Connected Classroom this week. It really put things into perspective for me. In our world most people have 5.5 oz news in our pockets, iPods. I must create a classroom full of tools that will help students learn the best way they can. I need to prepare them for the world that lies ahead of them.
