Schools Around the World
I have a sister who is a computer programmer, a brother-in-law who is a computer technician, and a nephew who designs computer animated games. They all attended college for 2 - 4 years to achieve the jobs they have. At this point in this class, I can see why they chose the field of technology, it is fun. I cannot believe the amazing things I have created on the computer in such a short amount of time.
Creating the Virtual Field Trip (VFT) was amazing in so many ways. I am amazed at how we can collaborate through technology; from all working on the same exact document to communicating on Pirate Pad. I think linking pieces of a project together is a blast. The Form is an excellent way to assess using technology and it can save time and money. The VFT project helped me understand how to incorporate technology into lessons to make it meaningful.
I can't believe I can do all this with just 4 nights of class.

I agree!!! It was a learning-packed 4 nights of class... still processing all the information, but definitely excited to go to these many specific sites and explore when I have time. It beats mindless web surfing!
ReplyDeleteYour enthusiasm is contagious! You should lead a teacher study group on how to use all this "stuff" in the classroom that will enhance learning!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to read how excited you are.... you helped make the face-to-face classes very rewarding for me. I hope the field trip idea can be adapted to your work in the upcoming school year.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great blog posts, they're very enjoyable to read!
