What specific plans do you have for implementing technology in an educational setting as a result of what you have learned in 5720?
This class has taught me a lot about how to implement various forms of technology into the classroom. For technology project 5, I created a glog on two-digit addition. I have already been using this with my students and the kids love it! Our second grade team has a blog and I figured out how to embed the glog so the kids can access it at home. Before taking this class, I was unfamiliar with Glogster EDU, but now I am already thinking of new ways to use this with my class. I plan to create a new glog every couple of weeks to put on our blog. I will find activities and games that go with the topics we are studying in class. When I become a librarian, I play to use Glogster EDU to create posters about new books in the library.
I also learned a lot about how to create a quality slideshow presentation that will capture the attention of students. I will be sure all the presentations I create in the future are visually appealing. I enjoyed looking at presentations created in formats other than Powerpoint. Programs such as Prezio and Animoto have great features that are not available in a Powerpoint presentation. Before taking this class, I was unaware that there were other options out there for creating presentations.
