Ed Puzzle and Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a wonderful concept that encourages all teachers to make their classrooms more tangible for these students. Web 2.0 gives students the opportunity to use various websites on their own devices to access information about the classroom. Web 2.0 gives students the opportunity to become more engaged in their learning, while creating another classroom resource for the teacher as well. I would try to implement something like this in my classroom. I especially enjoyed the Ed Puzzle. The Ed Puzzle was easy to use and understand. This is also a great way to show the students a visual example of what you are teaching, while adding questions in it to assess their understanding. This is extremely useful when gaging how much the students are understanding about the topic you are teaching. Another great thing about web 2.0 is students can easily recognize the sites, making teaching them how to use it a much easier task.

eFolio

The course eFolio contains the majority of all of the work we did in the teaching with technology course. It is an accumulation of assignments and connections made throughout learning the course material. My eFolio contains some of my application connections along with my technology learning checklists that were done throughout the chapters. I think my eFolio shows a lot of what I have done in the course and how I have become a better technology user within the last month! I cannot wait to apply everything I have learned in this class into my classroom this upcoming fall.

Without being cautious, your information could be leaked to the entire online world without your knowledge.  It is important to always keep your files locked and under passwords. With the technology we have in this day and age, hackers can easily penetrate into your files to access your information. NEVER keep your personal information in a place that is easy to access! As teachers, our job is to keep our students safe. By teaching them the dangers of PowerPoint and of the web, we are giving them the information they need to know to be smart online users.

WoW Project

The Web of Wonders project was a thought-provoking and eye-opening experience that was not only served to educate others but also educate myself as I was creating it. I chose to do my Social Studies tutorial-style project because I wanted to find outlets of technology to use for myself, and I wanted to show others how they can use it in the classroom as well. I chose to use Powtoon because it is a fun and visually pleasing presentation site. There are so many different things to do on Powtoon and unique ways to present the information you are trying to convey. I again used Screencast-o-Matic to narrate through my presentation to go into more details on the technologies I was discussing in my slides. I also enjoyed seeing all of the creative things my classmates were able to create. It was interesting for me to see what everyone came up with and what they took away from the course. There were interesting and well-thought out presentations that in each individuals own way, summed up the...
