During this course I have learned so
many different things as a future educator using technology in the
classroom though there is so much more to learn at the same time.
For example, how to make a blog and using digital equipment in the
classroom such as a ipad, or a cell phone. Using digital
resources to to have children learn about different things in a fun
manor such as a online game or a online learning tutorial for kids.
example would be for each is for the game you can do funbrain,
or abyca. I
like the fact that you can also embed links into just about anything
and use that to assist with your lesson plans. If you
have a special needs child or a child with a learning disability you
must modify your lessons or get special equipment so they may have a
chance to learn as well. As for a online lesson plan or also known
as a web quest for kids to be able to do it themselves you can create
one at zunal,
I created one on the rainforest. This keeps their interest of
wanting to find out more about something you are introducing.
After introducing a subject and working on it you can take a
field trip. Though instead of taking a actual field trip to say the
rainforest, you can actually take a virtual field trip from the
classroom live or watch one from a previous session. To do
testing, to see if the student has learned anything you can
also use fun test sites such as kahoot
to do it. I also learned to do teamwork, though each of us have
different way of doing things and we may not always agree we have to
work through it and come up with a game plan to teach at the best of
our abilities.
