Self-Reflect Questions

1) Did this course meet your expectations? Explain?
* Yes! this course met my expectations. I learned a lot of new things especially for technology. In the beginning I was sort of lost, but as the class went by it seemed much more easier. I had so much fun towards the end, especially working with groups. I enjoyed working with groups it is much more effective and enjoyable.

2) Why do you think this course should be required for all ED majors?
* I think that it should be required because everyday we use technology and we must incorporate everything in education. Using technology is creative and fun, it lets children be involve in the tech life.

3) How will you implement technology into your future classroom?
* I would have students create movies, slide show and even just surf the net. Children will have more creative and innovative ideas to use.

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

This was a great project! I enjoyed it. The software's were GREAT! The only problem was that it took along time to download it was very time consuming. I think that using movie maker was a lot easier and faster, but of course it took time also. I enjoyed working and being able to film a small clip. We should continue to this for all your classes, but should give them at least one week to film, edit and publish.

Elluminate Live

This was a great experience! I enjoyed the fact that we could talk and chat form where ever we were at. The guest speakers were great I learned a lot of new things that I would have never known. There may be some issues as to have a guest speaker, it was so long and you tend to get tired. I think that in this kind of situation the guest speakers should have a time limit so students don't get off track and get bored. All in all I think it is a really great site for long distance communication. I also have another suggestion my friends have tried this free software that is actually really great it is called skype, maybe you try it out!

Today we did a presetation on slideshare.net. It was great. I really enjoyed it

Slideshow FUN!

Today we created a slide show to present to the class. We had to decide on a story and demonstrate it to the class. We decided on doing a story on the Plumeria and how it became the color red. A story about tragedy. This was a great experience being able to create stories by using pictures and being able to remake a story using your imagination. I had a great time! I think that ESL or ELL students will have a great time too.
Create Your Own

It's a Puzzle Day!

Today in class we had to create different types of puzzles. It was awesome! I believe that this is a great way to give students the oppurtunity to learn new words and to use them later in their assignments. I like this site it is very easy and simple to use. I think even the students will be able to use it on their own to create their own puzzles. Online puzzles are very educational and interactive it gets the kids excited and makes them stay on task. It also helps students learn new words and practice their vocabulary skills.

WebQuest

Webquest is like another webpage or website that is use for an educational objective. Our assignment was to design one to our preference of what we want our students to learn at a certain grade level. We chose to do the different religions around the world. I like this assignment it was very similar to writing lesson plans, but just using the computer and putting everything online so that it is visible to everyone. I just had a hard time linking other webpages until today. I would implement webquest to use for every subject maybe when students do teachback they can use webquest instead of powerpoint, I believe it is much more easier.
