Blog 6

My two favorite assignments in this class where the digital storybook and the wiki front page assignment. I enjoyed the digital storybook because I love working with pictures and I think digital storybooks are a neat way to present them. I was glad we learned how to do those. I enjoyed the wiki front page assignment because I learned how to embed videos into a website and also learned about the teacher video site. These tools will be very helpful in the future.
The top technology tools I plan on using in my future classroom are: digital storybooks, concept maps in inspiration, blogs, and web quests. I will use digital storybooks to present work in units my students have done as well as a fun way to present activities on days when parents are in the classroom. I will use concept maps because students need to know how to make them and I think that it will be more fun and challenging if they make them on the computer. I will use blogs to communicate with parents. I will use web quest to present lessons and have students do work and research on the computer. I believe these things will help my students be actively engaged in classroom assignments and enjoy school!
I would like to get better at making and presenting pod cast. I will get better at this by practicing the skill. I would also like to get better at adding stuff to my wiki and blog. I will do this by playing with it and seeing what happens. Sometimes trial and error work best on the computer.
