New Skills

I believe that this class allowed for me to become more technology efficient in different areas. As I have said in a couple of my other blogs, I believe that in order to succeed in the teaching world a teacher needs to be as current and up to date with technology as the students are. If we want the students to want to learn, we need to present it to them in a fashion that they understand and enjoy.

Learning about the smart board will truly help when it comes to interactive lessons. I really enjoyed playing around with the smart board technology and learning how to make different activities. I just hope that when I get my own classroom that I will have an interactive white board at my disposal.

The video project was awesome. I definitely would use that in some way in my classroom. I think it is a fun way to get students involved and working hard. I mean wouldn't want to make a video as a project in class.

I think that these kind of activities will bring out the best in the students and also might bring the best out of a teacher. Teachers should be having fun with what they are teaching and technology definitely adds some fun to it.
