Week 3 Reflection

In class this week we learned a lot about using different technologies and information. We got online and went to You Tube and Teach Tube. From there we copied the url of a video and then learned how to convert the video using Zamzar. Zamzar is going to help when we need to use different videos we find from the Internet in our classroom. I used to not know how to download videos from the Internet. Whenever I would be doing a presentation I would find cool teaching videos online, but was not sure how to download them. Knowing how to use Zamzar will help so much.
As a teacher it is important to use inspirational videos and technology. This will help to get the students excited about learning and change up your teaching techniques. It is also great to use different simulations, like the one found on National Geographic’s. That will help the students to actually visualize what they are learning.
