Final post - Exceeded expectations!

I was a little weary coming into this class. I thought that I was already capable of producing a technologically adept classroom, that would promote class wide interaction. After completing all of these projects, I feel even more prepared for the classroom! While I have already worked with many of these tools, I felt as if I became better prepared to introduce material to my students in a technologically stimulating way.

As a whole, I enjoyed the class, and would recommend it to anyone pursuing a teaching license.

Websites are quite useful!

In this day and age, websites are not only a useful way to introduce yourself to both parents and teachers, but a great way to communicate with them as well. While websites aren't completely without flaws and will never be as good as a face-to-face conversation, they are a great way to display information to anyone who has need of such information when you can't be everywhere at once. I will definitely utilize this method of communication within my classroom.

My website

iMovie is da BOMB!

I loved working with iMovie! While it was a lot of work, it was actually a lot of fun too! The video I made can be really useful in the classroom as well, and I am excited to use this tool within my own classroom!

Inspiration for Inspiration!

Inspiration was a great way to create a diagram for pretty much any application! It was easy to set up and allowed me to create a professional looking document! I would definitely use this software again in my classroom!

Animoto!!!!!!

As seen to the right, Animoto is an easy and creative way to create a slideshow show that allows anyone to show off some photos or material to a group of people! I actually like this tool, and it could be used to break up the monotony of the classroom or show some cooler aspects within the Mathematics classroom!

Inspire: a lot of work!

The Inspire project has turned out to be quite a bit of work as a whole! While I am enjoying completing the project and am happy with the outcome, I feel that the project is more work than it will be good for the students. This kind of activity is great to use to break up monotony in the classroom, but, at least from a Mathematics standpoint, seems to primarily use aspects which are already in place within the classroom (graphing, plotting, simplifying, etc.) I do like the interactiveness of this kind of activity however! :)

I did my Web 2.0 Presentation!

It went pretty well! Except that for some reason I couldn't log into my Google account to show the feedback from the actual form...anyways, here is the complete form!!
