So one of the biggest things that I learned from our class is how much technology has advanced over just the past couple of years in regards to educational technology. I guess because I am in a school that has Promethean boards and encourages technology is why after taking this class I realized how I could bump up my technology comfort level and present it to students. I have been teaching students at 3rd grade level and working with easing in technology but I think I now have the confidence to use it effectively and teach students how to use it more effectively. I enjoyed most of all the examples with my classmates and how they best used technology in their classrooms. I learned that I need to stay up to date with what is great technology for students and what technology is no longer of use in the classroom. Like I said before it is all about the classroom and school environment you are working with. What can we do with the technology provided to make the most out of the students educational time.
The other great resource from this class was the textbook itself to read about how other teachers are using technology in their classroom. A lot of classes are using project based learning and these tools provided in the textbook really helped to provide a lot of good classroom ideas. I really would love to know any resource that would work more with elementary students. I know there are applications and activities to use but I really want to hear more about how primary grades are helping students use technology. The reason that I bring it up is how now is because I just found out last week I will be working in 2nd grade so I hope that I can have some time over the summer to work with the best tools I will want to bring to 2nd grade. I enjoy the challenge of making the most of technology with those students and to make them educational technology leaders. I think I have grown as a technology leader in the classroom and have more confidence that my students can be successful using technology in the classroom and I hope that my classmates feel the same way about their classes.
