Now What?

The past 6 weeks of EDU 331 have flown by. Technology in the Classroom has been a great learning experience. As an elective, I have found this class to be one of the most beneficial, knowing that I will use a lot of this information in the future! It has been fun to learn many simple, but new ways to integrate technology into my future classroom.

What was the most useful?

1.       Common Craft video- This was a great learning experience. A fun way to teach a lesson in a new way! Loved seeing creative and different ideas of how this could be implemented.

2.      Google- Who knew that you could use google in so many collaborative ways! Google Docs is great for assignments when working in groups. I also liked Google form as it is a great tool for surveys or quizzes.

3.      TodaysMeet and Online Polling-Great way to connect with students through technology.

Where will I go from here?

This class has informed me of so many ways to use technology. At whatever age level I teach, I plan to use several of the ideas in my classroom. The Internet Resources document that we created as a class is a document that I will refer to often (I hope!).  I also will use Twitter because there are so many wonderful educators and new ideas for any subject area. Even just looking online, through pinterest or blogs can be beneficial.

Blogging?

I have enjoyed this experience because it has served as a way for me to reflect on learning within this class. It has also taught me a new way to connect with fellow educators. I don’t know how committed I will be to keeping up this blog. I want to be able to share ideas with other educators, so I hope that can be my motivation to continue blogging as my career moves forward!

Thanks for spending the time to connect with me through this blog.  It is my hope that at some point in my future you will see this blog active again! :)

Until next time,

Carly
