The content in which I learned from this class is things that I can use in my own classroom that I feel will help my students track homework and school assignments. These activities can also help them to grow in communication and help the silent students in class be more vocal through technology.

I have really enjoyed the content of this class. I have learned a lot about the different uses of technology and how it can play an important role in my classroom. Creating the blog was certainly not what I expected. I expected it to be a long drawn out process but it wasn't bad at all. I have enjoyed it and I appreciate all that you have shown me over the course of this class.

Technology in my own class

As I' am currently seeking my Masters Degree in Education I currently have been substitute teaching with the Knox Co Schools in hopes of one day teaching high school history. This  class has opened up great ways for me to teach the curriculum to students. Using technology in the teaching of History is a great opportunity to teach students as it seems to grab their attention in a positive aspect.

This is my first time using blogger as I' am new to this it will be interesting for me. Blogging is a great way for teachers to communicate with their students as a whole group outside of the classroom. Some schools are even considering having normal class days through blogging when their districts call off for inclement weather for example. Instead of the class getting behind teachers will be able to communicate through sites like blogger and still have class discussion from the comfort and safety of each persons home.

Technology is all around us not only in everyday living but as a tool in educating students.  For me technology has always intimated me therefore I have stuck with just the basic necessities to get by.  When I signed up for this class I was nervous and  I had no idea what to expect.  Taking this class made me leave my comfort zone and I have learned so much these past weeks.  At this time I am not teaching but when the time comes I am going to be prepared to teach my students through technology with confidence.

 I just created my own blog and surprisingly it wasn’t near as bad as I thought that it would be. I realize that I could personally use this in my classroom and it wouldn’t take a lot of time to keep it updated.  I have enjoyed this class and it has showed me a lot of new techniques that I could use to reach my students and peak their interest in my classroom.

Technology has definitely had a large impact on our generation and even larger impact on students in today’s classroom. Technology has changed the way students learn in the classroom. However, students will struggle with technology if they do not have access at home. A lot of students in my area are faced with this problem.  So I worry that these students will never “catch-up” an learn the skills they will need to be successful.
