Final post

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.
