Today we looked at things that we have learned throughout the semester. We talked about how we will integrate technology into our classrooms, such as using a SMARTboard, blog, podcast, social bookmarking, or iRLO. Dr. Boyer brought up taking a Wii remote and making it into an interactive whiteboard...I need to look into this, if I do not have an expensive SMARTboard in my classroom.
Looking back over the semester, I have learned a lot about technology. I knew basically nothing before this class; I did not really even think about using technology in my classroom. I used to think that using technology in a classroom meant using computers or using powerpoint. Now, I know how to use technology, and I know how to incorporate technology into my classroom to make it a more interactive environment. I now understand better what technology is. I have learned to use many, many tools and I plan on incorporating many of these tools into my classroom. I plan on using blogs, iRLOs, SMARTboards, and podcasts. Some of these technologies I had never even heard of before this semester. This semester, I was challenged to learn new things and take a new perspective on technology use in the classroom; I feel that because of this class I will be a better teacher in the future.
