For this final blog post assignment I will reflect on my experiences
with the technology I encountered in this course (5391). The technology aspect
of this course was very fun and interesting to work with and experience. The
only thing I found challenging was the amount of time we spent on each module.
If I was given the choice again, I would of chosen to take the longer version
of this course instead.
The technology that most excited
me was Pixton. I loved working with it and the ideas for its use in social
studies and civics is tantalizing.
I wouldn’t say any of the technology
was difficult to use, again, time constraints is what did me in.
I believe all this tech can help students greatly so there
isn't one application/site more beneficial than others. Used correctly, all the
technology that we had a chance to work with can provide great benefits to an
otherwise stale curriculum.
I agree that time is a major factor on incorporating all this technology in the classroom and this class. As educators we are constantly battling the clock to meet deadlines, and teach kids at the same time. Hopefully all the technology we learned in this class can be used to engage our students in the classroom as well as encourage their love of reading in the process.
