The Unknown Possibilities

I never really knew about some of the technological tools and uses for those tools until I took this class. I actually considered myself to be somewhat tech savvy with using technology in my class until learning about some of these tools and programs. I have currently started using webquest in my class with our chrome books and smart boards. The students seem to really enjoy the change of pace that it brings to the class. I had never made a podcast or screencast until just recently and look forward to integrating this into my lessons. I didn't know programs like jing even existed. I have found that anytime I can use technology in the classroom my students enjoy the lesson more. It truly does make since because they are constantly immersed, entertained,and surrounded by it. I am hoping my class blog will spark interest in student learning once they see what is out there. A text book and notes can only take you so far.
