Insights from Class

I am learning many new concepts from this technology class. I really like the fact that each thing we use in class can be applied to other aspects of our lives. For example, the brochure I created, I plan on actually using when I begin teaching. I think that each child can benefit from having homework help tips and websites even if they normally don't need to use them. Each child has their trouble spots whether they like to admit it or not. The instructional power point is also very useful to have when you start teaching. I'm planning on becoming a mathematics teacher for elementary and middle school grades, so having something extra on multiplication can help students on an individual basis.

I also believe putting together presentations to use in front of the entire class can be useful at times. I think that they are more interesting to follow compared to just lecturing the class (keeps the children's attention better). Teaching the students how to use technology would benefit them in the long run. I feel that the earlier they begin to use it, the more comfortable they will become as they get older. I think that many students would have a lot of fun preparing their own short mini-presentations for the class.
