Technology Reflection

Throughout this course, we have been shown and had to research our own ways to use many different forms of technology in the classroom. Using technology in today's classrooms is extremely important and it is important to stay up to date with how to use the different technologies. One thing that I really loved about this course is that we worked with the Smart Board a lot and in many different ways. This was especially important for me because I was not used to the Smart Board and had the opportunity to learn a lot of useful techniques that I can take to my future classroom. Having us as the students research Smart Board activities was also very helpful because we could learn from our colleagues as well as teach ourselves. Another activity that involved technology that I know was extremely beneficial was allowing us to research math apps and applets. So many of us brought wonderful ideas to the table and we were all able to explain how to use these in the classroom. I know that I would be able to use every one of these technologies in my future classroom. Overall, this class was extremely helpful in teaching many different technologies to take to the classroom and I believe this is so important for us as future teachers to continue working with.
