First Night Class Reflection
On our first night of class, I really enjoyed learning the things we went over. I was interested to hear several people share how their grade school experiences were not so great. It is amazing, in a good way, that those individuals; who had a rough time are still willing to teach and continue learning. That is definitely a show of perseverance. It was also interesting to see the percentages associated with each answer on the questions. I can definitely see myself using the poll site for all kinds of things. How easy would it be to take polls for example, if you wanted to know what kind of class party everyone prefers. It is also a good way to keep everyone's opinions private and not singling out a particular student with hand raising. As sometimes students will raise their hand too, to fit in with the populous. I still can't believe that tonight I made my first blog and am posting for the first time ever, right now. As an educator and Mom of two younger children; I try to stay informed on current technologies. However, using some of the new technologies doesn't always happen. When I get the opportunity to learn how to use the different technologies I take it. I can't wait to do all the fun things I know we are going to learn and work through all the hard work involved.

ReplyDeleteThank you, I really have already learned a lot in this class. Some of it was a bit overwhelming but, I got over it, lol.
DeleteTiffannie,
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks great! I am glad you were able to get this going for class. I look forward to the rest of this class, I am excited to learn more on creating lesson plans and getting out for our field placements.

Thank you, I am glad I was able to get this going too, lol. Just barely. I am excited to learn about new technology, but always seem to be the last to know about anything. I am ready to hurry up and get into my field placement also, so that I can get it done. Because I substitute teach, I need to get all the hours done quickly; so that I can make money for working, lol.
DeleteTiffanie,
ReplyDeleteI had Terri last semester and she is awesome about including different ways to use technology in the classroom or her class in general and it is so fun to get to use the website to do polls and sometimes she will have you do a little quiz or something to make you think. I love the way you have your blog formatted now makes me wanna go change mine to something whimsical.
I can tell that she really likes technology, based on the amount of windows she always has open, lol. I like technology when it works the way I want it to. I seem to always be the last one to know about any new technology, lol. Thank you for the compliment; I like different and whimsical.
DeleteI have never actually written a blog before either! I've written journals and such, but never had my own blog! I think this will be a fun way to discuss things with a small group of peers. I also think your blog layout is cute :)
