so many useful tools!!

I think during class we all had the deer in head light look...lol, but in reality there was just so much that I think alot of us were unaware of. Overwhelming, yet learning experience. there are so many useful tools out there to be used in classrooms and share among teachers. We chose to use Prezi as our storytelling. I played around with it adn once you get the hang of it, its really neat to see how it comes together. This year i will be teaching writing/language arts in 5th grade. I would love to have the students create stories w/ this program. Love Love Love the site coolforschool i think it was..so many things to use. I wish i had more time to search thru them all, but i guess one at a time will do. Definitly will use alot of this in my teaching in the next coming school year. this class is probably one of the most beneficial yet:)

  1. I agree that the things we are learning all very awesome and overwhelming. The possibilities are endless. It is amazing to think how different education is today compared to the way it used to be. Have fun teaching with technology!

  2. Glad to read that the overwhelming nature of class has not taken away from your learning. I'm enjoying reading all your blog posts... keep up the good work!

  3. I definitely feel the same way. Technology is out there and just waiting to be explored. I think it's our responsibility to share with others. Then we can observe the "deer in the headlights"look without us being the ones overwhelmed. I want to use Prezi for my final project.I hope that it's as easy to use as in your experience.
