This class has been filled with tons of great information and sites for me to implement into my future classroom. I would not know about many great educational sites and programs without this class. Something I am so grateful to have learned in this class is how to use Smart Boards. I know that as an educator I am most likely going to have a Smart Board in my class, so knowing how to use it before I have a teaching job is so beneficial. Several great sites that I will take with me to my classroom are: Voki, Glogster, Word Clouds and Bit Strip. There are so many educational ways to implement technology into a subject, it is just being brave enough to do so!
I will definitely have my students create word clouds in my classroom. I am planning on teaching lower elementary and it seems like something that they would definitely be able to do. I also really enjoyed writing in a blog. This is something that I could implement instead of science journals. The students could blog about recent science experiences or just post questions they have. Something else I believe lower elementary kids would really enjoy is me giving my direct instruction using a Prezi presentation. It seems to be a little more interesting than a power point presentation and anything that keeps their attention longer is great! I was a little bummed about this class being a Monday night class, but I am so grateful for it! I definitely learned a lot and have great information about educational sites to take into my classroom from our class Wiki accounts. Overall, it was such a beneficial class! Thanks for everything Mrs. Burdic! See you on Thursday nights this fall :)
