Learning about the digital divide really makes me reflect on my own teaching. I know technology is important, but I sometimes find it hard to integrate into my daily classroom lessons and activities. This is definitely something I will focus on as I plan my future lessons. I am fortunate to have access to a computer lab in my building. My students have also benefited by having two classroom computers. Looking at this week’s activity, I was very intimidated when I first read the voicethread information and what we were expected to do with it. After getting onto the program and getting the access needed to complete my slide, I realized that is was not as difficult as I had anticipated. My students have been working on research relating to our Social Studies for the past two weeks. I am hopeful that with these types of activities, I will have more technology-based ideas for how my students can report on what they are learning.

I like the table that you generated for the use of various technologies to accomplish different tasks in the classroom. How did you post the table in the blog?
ReplyDeleteI too feel intimidated by the assignments, but I am learning a lot.
I did a cut and paste to place the table into my blog.
