Final Reflection

This semester I have learned a lot. I am very grateful for this class because I think as a teacher I would have taught like most of my teachers; with a white board. Because of this class I am more likely to use technology in my classroom. I have enjoyed what I have learned in this class and I will use many of the resources from this class. I have used the NETS that I have selected at the start of the semester in the final project by having the students work together to make a video. Over all, yes, my view on technology in the classroom has change, for what I believe, the positive. I will be using more technology in the future than I would with out this class.

Reflections on Tech 12 (last one!!)

Through this class I have learned many different skills of technology that I do not think I would have learned other wise. Do these skills and website resources travel around a school, or do just the new teachers who were required to take a tech class know? Is there a way to get older teachers more comfortable and experienced with tech? Is there any way to do this other than sending them to a school?

Reflections on Tech 11

I know that the high school that I went to, and the district that I grew up in was very under budget and the test scores were very low. The school did not have very much tech, and the little that it had was not very good. This is the same with most of the other learning materials. The question I have is; was the school in a never ending cycle? The school could not get more of a budget unless test scores went up. The test scores would not go up without more of a budget. Could technology help schools like this or hurt them? Schools that have higher budgets will get better tech, while lower schools will continue to fall behind.

Reflections on Tech 10

As technology improves more technology is going into the classroom. Last week I was in class and the class was delayed because the projector was not working. The professor did not know what to do and called IT. IT was able to fix the problem by hitting a button and was out of the classroom in less than a minute, yet the class was delayed about 20 minutes while wait for IT to come. With more technology training this issue would not have happened. Teachers should be have a basic understanding of troubleshooting of computers.

Reflections on Tech 9

Every1 is using tx speaking 2day. But the English language is slowly being destroyed, this may only be during texting, and online positng, but this is the form in which most student communicate in today. Does communicating in text format effect a student's writing ability, or is the text language similar to writing in another language where a student can easily switch from one form of writing to another? Either way what would be the best way to improve the students' grammar of proper English?

Reflections on Tech 8

Many of the classrooms today are moving closer to becoming paperless. This is both a good idea for the cost of education and for the environment, but it will also make cheating easier. This is because many of the students have grown up on computers, they have experience sending information to other students, or the students can also hack the computers. The best way to fit this is to get more security on the computers or  teach the teachers how to protect their testing material.
