Well, this is my last blog entry for Literacy and Technology....however, it's not goodbye!! Technology is such a big part of my life, and now that I am aware of the Web 2.0 tools that I can use in my classroom, I will constantly be exploring to find the most useful ones! I have grown so much this semester, and I now feel more confident about incorporating technology into the classroom. There are so many interactive things you can do with technology to motivate and intrigue your students! Take blogging for example! Eventually, I would love to set up a blog for my students to be able to express their thoughts on. This collaborative tool will also help to promote literacy skills in the classroom. I plan on having my students make a podcast by the end of the school year for their Civil War Inquiry Project. It's so exciting to see the students ready to experiment with new tools in order to better their learning.
Overall, I enjoyed taking this class! Dr. S, you have taught me so much about the creative tools that are right at our fingertips!!! I didn't know about or understand half of them until now! This class has broadened my horizions as a teacher, and I am grateful for that! I would LOVE to learn more, so I am taking the course "Teaching with Technology" Summer I semester. Hopefully my "toolbox" will grow!
So again, it's not goodbye....It's actually a fresh start to a whole new approach of teaching!
Here is the link to my final project on using blogs in the classroom to improve literacy skills:
