Technology

Since last time there have been some new technologies that I have learned about that I could see myself using in my future classroom. The online presentation tool that I enjoyed the most was Prezi. Prezi was really easy to use and it is a lot of fun to watch the presentation. I feel that students would enjoy watching the zooming action of Prezi. It would even be fun for older students to create a Prezi.

Since the last time that I posted I have learned some interesting things. The thing that stood out to me the most was the visual organizer. We had to download this really cool software and make a web. It was fairly easy to grasp once I got accustomed to the software. I can definitely see myself using this program when I am a teacher. Especially if I want to create my own handout to have the students work on.

Well for my second blog entry I am going to talk about what grade I want to teach and why. I would love to teach second grade. When I did my field experience at Ohio State I was placed into a first and second grade combination classroom. Half of the class was first graders and half the class was second graders. Being able to experience both grades at once was a really fun experience. The first graders did not hold the second graders back and the first graders were able to excel past their normal first grade academic level if they were ready. I decided that I wanted to teach second grade based on this experience.
