Presentations
1. I learned that with the most limited technology, you can accomplish great things. Remembering that keeping it simple is a remarkable tool! Students need to understand what is going on in such a way that they CAN understand.
2. I learned not to be afraid of the technology. Students used SmartBoards and promethean boards which I knew nothing about and it was great to see their presentations. It was great to learn how other students implemented their ideas and information into their presentations. I liked that I was able to see how it was implemented with the students. To see their reactions, their ideas, and their excitement for the lesson with the technology was remarkable!

Internet Safety
1. I read the article, "Mixed Signals" (for my 4th article)
2. I learned that the computer has an off button and when in doubt-use it!
I learned that“What difference does it make why it is rated R? The fact is, a prophet of God has said not to go to R-rated movies. That ought to be enough” by Cree Kofford-and that type of material should not be viewed on the internet either.
I enjoyed how they talked about technology is a good thing and we need to use it for good!
3. I will never let my students or children be on the internet when I am or an adult is not in the room. I will not allow my children or students to just go exploring without my consent.
4. I will try to be the best example to them that I can. I will try to let them know that it is cool to not look at that stuff.
I talked to a college student about internet safety. This was really interesting because she felt the same way that I do. She understands the dangers and she knows that no one is infallible. Not only students but WE need to be careful as well!! We need to be sensitive and convey that example to others. Technology is amazing and we are blessed to have it for good purposes. Also, the world is becoming more and more wicked and there is more money to be sought after and we cannot be the recipients of that negativity.

What I learned
I learned that using technology in the classroom is a great way for students to learn. We must keep the technology simple, basic, and exciting. By using technology the students and teachers are enriched and enhanced.

Technology Ideas
Honestly, we don't have access to technology that I know of. I am going to try to figure something out and will keep updating this blog!

Technology Ideas
For teaching a lesson on synonyms, I will use the overhead to display an enticing activity sheet for the students to complete as a class. I will then display a powerpoint with 1 word written on one slide while the students must come up with a synonym and write it on their personal whiteboard. This way, students can do their own work and they can see the word written on the overhead so they will be able to visualize it better and see the spelling!
