Technology

This class has provide me the opportunity to use the tools I never knew how to use in the classroom. I throughly enjoyed the class making videos, concept maps, and the protfolio at the end of the semester. I believe that this class is pointing me in the right direction to become a more influential teachers and a better teacher. There are many pieces of technology I will take from this course and apply it to my teaching philosophy.
I used the smartboard before but never to the extent of making a lesson plan. I learned a lot about teaching and tools in the classroom I will use in my classroom. I took from that class that I can have my students make a YouTube video of the civil war battles and the class can view the videos and write a report about the specific battles and what they have learned.
