EXE 375

I learned so much abiout technology and teaching it in your classroom. There are so many useful websites out there that I would've never knoew about had I not taken this class and student taught. There are so many different ways of accomodating to students with disabilitied I am amazed! I loved making the E-book it is a great tool to use for students with problems with social interaction. I also really enjoyed making the flyer for our classroom. It was so simple and looked great. So many tools we used this semester were great I just struggled to learn how to use them, and once I got the hang of using the site they were so easy. We learned so many different websites, and resources to go through I definately would like to add all these websites to my favorites list and used the in the furture. Technology is only going to increase, so I hope that I can incorporate all of these fun websites into my teaching. I can see the students really enjoying them. Besides learning about a lot of new teaching technology I also feel like I have become more teachnologiaclly savy in general. I had no idea what a lot of these websites were or how to make my own websites. I really enjoyed playing around on all the websites they were all very useful in some way or another. The only website or project I did not like doing was thw webquest. I was very complicated, and too broad. I didn't understand what the teach was looking for. I can see webquests being beneficial if I made one up myself!  One of my favorite parts of the class was the guest speaker on technology and devices to help accomodate students with disabilites. All the technologies the woman spoke about were very unique and geared toward a couple specific disabilites. I enjoyed the scavenger hunt. I would love to do one with my future classroom. It helped my learn while looking around different beneficial websites at the same time. I definately liked creating the E-book the most it was very fun once I found the photostory download, and was able to figure out how to import pictures. I liked narrating my book with my own "teacher voice" and that this kind of story can accomodate many students that struggle with disabilites.
