Reflection Paper

This was a class that I thought was going to be very interested in and I would learn a lot

in. Turns out, I did learn a lot about websites that I can use in my future teaching. Websites that

entail making rubrics, posting power point slides, making a time line, creating math worksheets,

and many others. In this class I learned that being able to use computers and have the students

use them effectively is a great tool to have in the classroom. The students can do research in the

classroom if we have computers in there. Technology is also a huge part of the curriculum now.

Schools now have Ipads that the students can use to do multiple things on. We learned how to

use some technologies in the classroom. One of the technologies we used and liked the most was

power point. I had a lot of fun with power point; creating slide shows and presentations that will

help the students understand the material I am teaching better. Another technology we used that

I liked was the iPad and the iPod touch. I can put apps on these devices that will specifically

benefit my students. It was cool to know how many apps there are out there that benefits

learning in a positive way. Many of the apps that we talked about in class, I got on my own iPod

touch.

One of the technologies I wish we were taught was the smart board. The smart board is a

technology tool in every classroom and used by many teachers. The smart board I know will get

more advanced in things that it will be able to do, but it would have been nice to learn some of

the basics.
