Reflection

I have learned so much more about technology after taking this class. I have never been on flicker, diigo, google docs, or blogged! It really opened my eyes to how much more you can do with your classroom, and how you can get the kids involved in so many more ways. I can definitely see myself usuing google docs, and having a class blog. It is a great way for them to interact, and get their ideas published. The technologies I don't think I would use would be flicker, twitter, and wikis. I didn't really enjoy using them. You never know though, there might be just the right lesson that they would be perfect for. I really do feel like everything we learned in this class is useful. My thoughts about technology have changed one hundred percent. I didn't even know what technologies you could even use and now that I am aware of them, I will for sure be integrating them into my classroom! For future advice, I would have to tell myself not to get frustrated. Some don't always work the first time, like I Movie, but it's important to remember that these are really useful tools and definitely something that should be used when making your lesson plans.
THis class was very helpful, and I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you!

Google Earth

I really enjoy playing around on google earth, and it is an awesome tool to use in your classroom. I plan on using it in my presentation, and I think it would be good for a geography lesson and having the kids look up a different country to explore. IT would be cool to use google earth and let the kids see what country they are exactly exploring!
