At the beginning of this course I created the goal for myself to learn more about:
· PowerPoint
· Creating Graphics & Web Pages
· Photo Shop Programs
· Music & Video Programs
What I now know about….
I understand the use of a computer or all around technology in the classroom now. It’s better to understand the importance of how to use technology in your classroom for the benefit of your students. I believe I have learned many great things that can help me in teaching any future students I may have, no matter age group I end up with. I may not have learned everything that I set out to all the way so far, but I better understand how to find resources to help me learn more.
What I want to know…..
I still want to learn as much as I can to help my future students with technology. I believe that technology is an ever changing subject, so we as teacher will always be learning and teaching new things about it. I understand PowerPoint and Photo Shop way better now, but I know there are still many things I can learn about web pages and music/video programs. I’d like to learn how to create and edited videos, to do different projects with my future students, something I could share with them and their families.
How I might find out about….
Through this class I have learned how to use my resources a lot better than better not only where to find certain subjects but how to write about them and how to use them. I can find videos to help me with certain subjects then I can also help others with that same subject. (I hope that makes sense…)
What I have learned….
This class has taught me a lot about technology, I have to admit that at times I felt lost and frustrated that I would understand certain concepts or how to finish a product, but with patience’s I understood and finished most of the assignments given to me. This class also helped me other online classes I am currently taking. Taking a lot of classes at once I learned to organize a spreadsheet to help me keep up with the many assignments that I have to complete each week. This has also helped me with other assignments that I need to create PowerPoint’s for. Even this course got hard at times and I felt like I had to quit I am glad that I stuck with it and got this far.
Erica,
ReplyDeleteI understand how you feel. At the beginning of the class I was lost, frustrated and overwhelmed. I started to drop plenty of times but I am glad that I stuck with it. Before taking this class, I would have never thought about using videos for instruction and introducing a subject to a class. The Technological world has been a challenge and now has provided me with another tool to help teach .
Erica:
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you stuck with it also--and that you found ways to apply your knowledge in other situations. The more you do that, the more you will feel in control of the technology, which will ease the frustration.
