Reflections

I have enjoyed this class so much. I've learned a lot of new things about technology that I am excited to implement into my classroom when I begin my teaching career! 
    
One thing I loved was the portaportal. I never knew it existed but it has already come in handy to me with my other classes I am taking this semester. I divided it into grades, and have been trying to find new websites for each grade to add to it. That way I will be prepared no matter what grade I begin teaching. I included a lot of sites that can interact with kids in the classroom as well as at home. I hoping it will be a very useful tool in the future!

The website we created has also been a great experience. I have never created anything like that before on my own. I was scared when I first started it, because I had no idea what I was doing. But once I got started with figuring everything out, it became much easier. I know It is important for teachers to have websites now a days, because that it mainly how we will communicate with our parents and keep them up to date on the things we are doing in the classroom. I know now that I have taken this class and learned my way around Google sites, it will be a much easier task when I begin teaching!

The discussions have been so interesting in this class. I actually have really enjoyed my reading, and found myself getting very into the chapters. I know this book is one I definitely will keep and refer back to while teaching. There are so many great ideas in it to help teachers implement technology into the classroom. Through the reading I have come to realize just how important it is to have technology a part of the classroom. I intend on putting these things into action, and I am very excited about it.
