Final Reflection

Thoughts...
What do you feel is the most useful technology (or teaching approach) you have learned this semester?
I loved the imovie technology as well as learning about mindmiester from other people in the class who did that for their personal technology project.

* How do you plan to use this or other technologies in your future teaching?
Group projects, personal writing, book reviews/intros. etc. etc.


* How can you use technologies (the ones we learned or others) to engage your students in ACTIVE learning?
They can make movies for their assignments and also use technologies such as mind miester and prezi to help them write drafts for their papers.

Best Accomplishment

I really enjoyed doing the internet safety assignment. Surprising, I know. But it was a good reminder to me of the importance of educating parents and youth about the internet and proper "cyber etiquette."

However, I also have to say, I really learned a lot from making my multimedia presentation using iMovie. This was a valuable assignment that I will definitely use both in my future personal life and hopefully incoporate aspects of it into my classroom/student assignments. The link for my movie is HERE.

Wiki Contribution

For the wiki, I put the blog for Teaching Authors as my blog link. And here is my lesson plan and artifact on the wiki.

Personal Tech Project PREZI!

For my personal technology project, I learned about prezi.com I posted in my previous blog post the lesson plan for this technology. For my artifact, I created an outline like I would want my students to create. It is a simple and useful way to organize thoughts and can be as detailed as desired. HERE is my prezi for a sample Shakespeare paper. Go team!

Personal Technology Project

Prezi is a great online resource for students and teachers alike. For my Personal Technology Project, I will be using prezi as a way to introduce an aspect of the drafting process to students. My artifact is the simple model which would be shown to students to help them in creating their own pre-draft outline. The lesson plan for this lesson is here.
