Final One

Looking over the 20 items I have noticed that I can improve on a lot of areas. I tend to have a lot of mediums and a few lows that I would like to step up to the next level. The first one I will need to increase my knowledge of the special needs technology so that I can help my students. Designing I will be able to use that and use the different tools I have learned doing the labs to make using technology useful for them. I can use the PowerPoint’s and even kidspriation to help draw upon the creative side of the students. I feel that I have gained a lot from this class that I can use in some way in the future, I will also keep the divide in my mind and try to work with that so no one gets behind. I plan to use the web somehow to keep in constant contact with parents other than just email. This class had made me think outside the box and to use what I learned in the classroom so I can become a successful teacher.

Week 13

There is only one more class left so it is exciting. We covered a lot of important issues as future teachers and how we have to make sure what we do now does not hurt catch up to us. It was a very interesting class.

Week 12

The chapter 10 trio share went this week over distance education. And again went over what is due for next class OH JOY! But it was cool to learn about how people are teaching online classes in high school and whether or not it was good or bad and like anything it has its ups and downs. I wish in high school I could just take online classes that way I could sleep all day.

Week 11

Today chapter 9 did their trio share and it was interesting to see all the audiovisual technologies that are out there. We talked more about the blogs and wiki projects. We went over all the work that is due for the next class like always and it’s always a lot to do, getting pretty overwhelming for a 2 hour class. It is nice though that we have next week off for easter!

Week 10

This week in class we talked and covered more of chapter 8 since my group did not cover all that needed to be covered I guess. We also talked about lab 9 which seemed like it would be a lot of work but it did not turn out so bad. The whole podcasts talk and jazz was cool considering some guys in the fraternity are talking about using it to help with rush coming up, so it is nice to see things I learn in class being put to use.

Week 9

In class today I had to do my chapter trio share which I felt like we did a good job. We talked about the web and how teachers use it. It was pretty interesting. Other than that we didn’t do much it was the first week back from spring break and we learned about what things we have coming up in the class. So it was time to catch up on everything so I do not fall so far behind.

Week 8

This week all we did was the ATC which I feel like I should pass. I had to do the chapter 7 and 8 lab and I learned a lot about iPhoto which was cool because I don’t own a mac but someday want to and it was awesome to play around with.
