Technology in the classroom is becoming more familiar among students and teachers. Today, toddlers and children are playing with the real thing such as iphones, ipads, computers and video games. Gone are the days of using the chalkboard, chart paper and the overhead projectors. Once they start entering Pre-K or Kindergarten these children will be so advanced with their own technology skills that teachers will have to enhance their own technology skills.
As a future classroom teacher, I want to be able to use technology for classroom instruction with my students. I want to learn more computer literacy terms, short cuts with the computer and technological skills. I want to practice getting to know these new programs and get use to them so that when its time to teach I will know what to do and how to do it. I’m a hands on learner and I hope this class will give me the confidence to apply new technological skills in the classroom and also in my studies here at NLU.
Having the resources such as Voicethread and Diigo to help teach a lesson or give a presentation is an advantage for educators.
I hope to get the most out of this class with learning how to use the most of Google, Blogger, Twitter, Voicethread and Diigo for personal use and especially for the taking these new skills to the classroom. I want to impress my own professors, colleagues and myself with my new learn technology skills.
