Things
I Do And Plan To Do…..
I
really enjoy working with technology but I think I still have a lot to learn.
When I do use technology, I use the smart board, videos from brain pop or other
student websites, and power points. I like using power points to show a lot of
visual aids and show text for students to read and understand. I think that it
is a great way to organize information. I like using the smart board but I am
still a beginner. When I am subbing, almost every classroom has one. The
students usually show me how to use the smart board and how they do certain
programs. I plan to use an Elmo in my
classroom. I also plan to learn more programs on the smart board to allow more
class participation.
Things I Do Not Do……….
I
do not use technology enough in the classroom. This day in age technology is
everywhere and kids are going to have to know it. I like how the book breaks
down and explains common categories of technology. There were some great tips
that I do not use in the classroom but plan to in the future. I need to make
sure I have back up plans for student that may have a wheelchair, or struggle
with visual, hearing, or motor skills. There are so many disabilities, I need
to make sure I have a plan and continue to learn about ways to help students
with accommodations. The examples of the
software were great. There were several sites that seemed to have a lot of good
pictures, and tools for reading and writing.
Things I Need To Improve………
I
need to improve on using technology with all subjects and using it everyday.
There are so many ideas and activities that can be done through the computer
but I just have to improve my computer skills. I really want to be able to get
students to take math and reading programs on the computer so they can enhance
their skills. I think some of the math programs in the book are great and will
allow students to get feedback. If a few students work on the computer a couple
times a week I think it would really help them.
