In this class I have learned that I did not know as much about technology as I thought I did. I have now been introduced to blogging and i Google and want to use these applications of technology as much as I can.
My philosophy is that a child's learning comes first. Therefore, if incorporating technology into my classroom will benefit my students then I will do whatever I can to incorporate it into my classroom. I know that I want my students to use a blog as a way to journal their thoughts after I teach a lesson. I have also thought about a way to use the e-portfolio for my students. I could scan work of the students that show their learning and make a portfolio for each student. I can also put information that I send to parents on their portfolios. When I have parent conferences, I will have all of the information in one spot and hopefully the parents will see that I care enough about my class to keep everything organized.
My philosophy has guided me to form my projects based on what I want in my classroom. My wiki is a design for the middle school math teacher and the students.
This class has taught me a lot. I learned that technology is something to investigate, not something to fear. I have begun to use iGoogle because I thought it looked fun. I will continue to try to explore google as they develop new applications so that I can keep up with technology because I need to be able to share this information with my students.
