Post #10

When reviewing others' blogs I found that many of us had similar interests when it came to using technology in an educational setting. There were parts of the text and programs that we found boring and useless but there were many other parts that were surprisingly useful and we didn't know existed. Overall, I shared a surprise for the different and interesting ways that technology can be used to help teach a "plugged-in" generation.

I can't particularly identify a technology-related skill I would most like to learn because I cannot think of anything past what I have just learned. I'm sure there exists many different, new and useful ways to use technology but I simply do not know of them. I look forward to integrating new technology into the classroom as it is introduced in the future.

When I make lesson plans in the future I will consider technology as a very useful way to get the attention of my students. I will encourage students to research topics online and I will use interactive presentations in the classroom with photographs and animation to make the learning process more fun. I will use excel to make graphs to help make demonstrate a point, or powerpoint to present information so that students can see what I am talking about in pictures.
