Week 13 Reflection

I learned today when using technology that things could go wrong. We were using our webquest today to teach one of our lessons in the field experience. However, when the students went into the computer lab to access the webquest, the school denied access to the webquest site. We ended up having the students come back to the classroom and we had to work through the webquest all together on the projector in the classroom. Thankfully I had put the webquest onto my jump drive. I was very sad they weren't able to work individually on the activity. It ended up working out ok though we did different virtual tours, so the students enjoyed that.

Week 12 Reflection

This past week in my field experience I was able to use a good amount of technology. I had to research some subjects from my computer on the internet. Through the internet I was able to learn many things, I also watched a few short videos to help me learn more about a certain subject. In the class itself we used the projector screen a few times to show certain items to the students. We worked on our webquest in making sure it already for our lesson. Through preparing my different lessons I have found that it is very important to have the various technologies that we have. It makes the process of finding different sources faster with the different technologies.

Week 10 reflection

This week we were able to work on our webquests! We have been doing it on slavery. We each have been finding many different websites to use on the webquest. We wanted to have this webquest have the students learn many things about slavery. They are to find out how the slaves were treated, how they escaped and their everyday living. They will adenture through many different activites. One of which takes the student on a virtual tour of the plantation they would have lived on. Through out the webquest they will have to be gathering the different information to create a poster. Once they create the poster from the research they gathered off the webquest they will present it to the class.

Week 9 Reflection

Reflection week 8

We just finished with our PDPs. And with our PDPs we had to watch many videos and read articles on different topics of technology. We then had to take a survey on how we felt that we knew the different areas of technology. I feel like I know a lot about how to use the different technologies but I still was not sure about a lot of the information. I am not sure about all the different rules and regulations when it comes to using technology in the classroom. In class today we were a little confused about what we were doing. So we all tried to figure out what we needed to turn in together.

Video- Did you know 3.0
This video is very interesting because it has all these up to date facts. It really makes you think about all these things going on around you that you might not have known before. It helps you to see how many people actually have a computer and use the internet. I feel like I am very fortunate for having all the technologies I have. It makes me realize how not everyone has all the latest technologies.
