Using Technology in the Classroom

This semester, I learned about a lot of thing that I can do to incorporate technology in my classroom. I already knew some of the more basic things, but learning how to create things like wikis, webquests, and teacher web pages was helpful to me. It will be good for my students and their parents to have online resources and ways to contact me. I plan on using a lot of the things that we learned in class in my classroom. They are very helpful tools that could add a lot to my teaching. Kids need to do things that are different than just sitting in a classroom, and using technology can make things fun (such as webquests or virtual tours, for example). Also using the technology that I already knew something about, like powerpoints, movies, blogging, and a few more things could aid my instruction. Making movies and powerpoints can also be interesting for younger kids. There are endless possibilities of ways to incorporate technology into the classroom, and I am glad I got to explore some more in this class.
