  • What were your favorite 2 assignments in this class and why?
  • My two favorite assignments were the movie and this blogging. I LOVE the movie because not only is it fun for my personal life and creativity but it is so easy to turn that into a very teacher friendly and classroom fun activity.  Blogging is a way to just write it out. I am a very wordy person and if no one wants to listen to me I can just type until my thoughts are gone. 

  • What are the top 3 technology tools you hope to use in your future classroom/position? (doesn't matter if they were addressed in this class; may include hardware or software)
  • 1. Blogging: I believe with the way technology is taking over the world and paper is being recycled more, it would make more sense to have a blog site that I can attach movies and pictures and have my newsletter a weekly thing and parents can comment and give suggestions
    2. The Movie: This is another VERY useful tool that I cannot wait to use with my class (in a year and a half) not only would I be able to make informational movies that can engage and spark curiosity in my students, but also have movies that the students create and I just put it together and but it on a website for everyone to view and enjoy
    3. del.icio.us: This is such an amazing idea.  Take your bookmarks everywhere on any computer. Nothing more to say then your favorite most resourceful sites are just a click away. 

  • What piece of technology would you like to get better at, and what are the steps you can take to improve your skills?
  • imovie.  I really enjoy everything i have begun to learn in this program.  Apple is great with having in store consultations.  Its just a matter of arranging my schedule to call in an appointment and go to the mall!
