Six weeks sure did fly by fast. This is the last class I have to take that goes towards my degree, AA in Elementary Education. If I would have taken this class 1st, I could have made better power points. I would likewise have been able to understand the web tools and how they work.
The first assignment was to make a Blog. Make a blog...I was very anxious about this. I was going to post something the whole world could read. The textbook that was used for this class, was informative and had valuable information in it. I read the 1st chapter in the book “Transforming Learning with New Technologies” and was able to complete my 1st digital badge, in this class. I was then able to use web tools to create more digital badge on all the chapters I read. Subsequently I was then able to accomplish bigger and better projects.
This class taught me how to evaluate and really dissect educational student websites. Which was helpful when I did a collaborative Wiki and a collaborative Lesson plan. The collaborative Wiki was a lot of hard work and lots of research. After doing the Wiki, I was confident enough to be able to make my own Web Quest. My Web Quest was on spiders.
The last project I completed in this class was to make my own Website, you may view all my accomplishments on my website. I would have never thought it was possible to create my own website. My children had to read it to believe it. I will use my website for a reference (my knowledge on being a 21st century teacher) for any future job applications. I am very proud of the work I have accomplished in this short amount of time.
I found this YouTube Video when I was researching technology in classrooms and I find it very informative.
