Technology perspective The way I have grown!
Where did I begin? MY ABILITIES: Before I embarked on the journey in EDU 210 I had very little knowledge when it came to technology. My sister would say things like “your horrible with computers” and often got frustrated with me when I would need help fixing something on my I phone. I had no idea how to save things on my mac computer, I had a lot of trouble starting accounts with twitter, and Facebook. It was an ongoing battle when I was asked to use a new technology in school.
Where did I begin? • OPINION &THOUGHTS: • Because technology was so hard for me, I refused to use it- calling it “Stupid” and that it was running children in society today. I grew a negative opinion on it and thought I would never integrate it into my classroom because I preferred the old way, and kids were fine with it. I was very negative and hostile when it came to a class that required me to gain the class information on a twitter feed. • So…HOW in the world did this change?
Where did I end up? • OPINIONS & THOUGHTS: • I know understand what technology can do in a classroom. If used correctly it can be an amazing resource for collaboration and engaging the students in their learning. I no longer have a negative attitude when a class is asking me to explore a new technology, I get excited. I want to learn all the resources possible that can be integrated into my classroom and then pick the ones I feel work best. I feel more confident then ever with technology and entering into a new and improved education that is trying to integrate technology more and more as the years progress.
Where did I end up? • Abilities: • It is crazy to think that I can now make my own website! I can create voice threads and post them up onto my classroom management system. ( I know what a classroom management system is!) AHH! I have grown tremendously with having patience when figuring out a new website or tool. There are so many amazing tools out there that you can use in your classroom.
My Technologies! • These are a few of my technologies that I have used! I am so excited to have learned how to use these, and now I have grown into someone who can create and love what technology can do for a classroom! • This is a online learning management • system I created! I can post tests, • announcements, parent info. For my • students as well as the parents!
My technologies • This is an online poster you can • create using postermywall.com. They • have amazing tools and pictures that • you can choose from to create an • age appropriate poster for your • students!
My technologies This is a Voice Thread! I have created one explaining a certain web page I had to use to create my e-portfolio ( which is another amazing website that has helped me grow) but this one I must say challenged me the most . It was straight forward once I took the time to figure it all out, but the idea of posting a snapshot( which I didn’t know how to do, and now I use it all the time with the snipping tool) and then adding a recording too it seemed like an impossible task for me. But with hard work I pulled it off and created my very own Voice Thread!
