I feel that in today’s society, technology is becoming more used and important to our changing world. You usually don’t pass someone on the street or in a shopping mall without seeing a phone in their hand. Not only do I believe that technology is evolving, it is becoming more important in classrooms today. Some of the technology that I was able to use in my internship (and will use in the future) was:
- smart boards
- chromebooks
- computers
Some of the programs that I tended to use frequently on the smart board or chrome books were:
- Youtube
- Google classroom
- Interactive websites
- Powerpoint
- Mathletics
Google Classroom:
I just wanted to discuss a small portion of google classroom. The school that I interned at was fortunate enough to have a chrome-book assigned to each student. This advanced our technology immensely in the school as the students were free to use their chrome-books at any point of their learning. I was able to create multiple classrooms for each subject I was teaching, as well as other classrooms that the staff and I could observe. Within these classrooms, I posted videos, assignments, and things such as pictures etc. to show my students. The students really enjoyed going online to create assignments.
Some Technology that I plan to use in my future classroom would be:
- blogs
- google classroom
- Google + community
- Virtual Field Trips
- Videos (youtube)
- Podcasts
- Digital Learning Experiences
- SeeSaw App
- Kahoot
- Plickers
- Padlet
- Skitch
- Adobe Spark
