Today, my knowledge of technology grew. One topic/tool that I enjoyed learning about was a new way to present material; by using programs such as Prezi. PowerPoint is a tool I have used over and over and using something different will challenge me but will also aid in my future presentations. I am interested to search the web to see what other resources are available.
It was also interesting and informative to discuss chapter one of our textbook. Meaningful learning is something each of us should promote in our future classrooms. The Technology Integration Matrix is a resource that gives good examples of how to incorporate technology when there are computers available for each student and also when there is only one computer for a group of students. I can use the lessons provided in the future and modify them where I believe they need to be modified. It was also helpful to view them to see if the students were learning with technology or from technology.
Once again, I learned new things this week that I will hopefully carry into my future teaching career. I am excited and nervous for the upcoming tasks I need to complete for this course, but with hard work and a positive attitude I think I can make it through! :)
