I am very thankful for the technology ideas and tools that I have learned about in this course. I am already beginning to incorporate some tools and ideas, and hope to add more in the future.
#1: Diigo
I love having all of my favorite and useful websites archived for me. With a few clicks of the mouse I can tag a page for future reference.
#2: Twitter
Even though I am usually not drawn to social media, I must admit that I was so very thankful when deadlines were approaching and I was able to find someone to help!
#3: Tutorials
I understand best when I see an example. I have learned to look for a tutorial when I am exploring something new.
#4: Mobile Apps
They make "taking it with you" so easy. There is an app for almost anything!
#5: Simulations
What a great way to get to experience so many things from science to history to games, without the expense and travel time.
#6: YouTube
This is another site that has many helpful lessons, tutorials, and educational videos.
#7: Wiki
I think that it is great to be able to collaborate on a project from different places. I can see many uses for these particular websites.
#8: Blogs
Before this class, I thought blogging was a lot more difficult than it really is. I will definitely keep blogging, especially once our family moves. What a great and easy way to stay in touch!
#9: Prezi (powerpoints)
Powerpoints are a good exposure to a useful tech tool for students.
#10: Interactive whiteboards
I can see great benefits with interactive whiteboards, especially in the math classroom. It is often difficult to draw that perfect circle in geometry, or connect the concept to the real world, but these are just a couple of things that become possible with this tool.
I bet your family back home will be thrilled that you will be blogging! I have enjoyed taking this course with you, and will continue to pray for you and your family! God bless!
