The more in depth lessons on the many benefits of Google helped me a lot this week. Before this class I only used Google for a search engine, email account, and blog. I had no idea that something as simple as Googledocs existed but it is now my new best friend. I am so excited about being able to share documents with other people. This makes life so much easier because I don't always have to meet with people in my group to do assignments. I can just do my share and combine it with other people's information and have a completed assignment. This will be nice in the classroom to be able to work with other teachers and to have effective communication. I also really liked the calendar lesson because I feel like I can be a lot more organized and share my information with my cohort partner. This will make our field experience so much easier.
I liked the video this week a lot. I really like the WWW idea and I'm more than willing to incorporate that into my classroom. I realized I'm one of the 76% that never uses wikis and I rarely use podcasts. The video didn't change how I want to teach students because I already have a desire to teach them about technology but it gave me more ideas on how I will incorporate technology and a stronger drive to learn about it so I can implement it in the classroom.
Nice job with your mini post about yourself. I'm glad to read how excited you are about teaching.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found Google to be useful it has some great tools especially to use as a teacher and student. I hope you have the opportunity to incorporate tech in your class. Good job.
