Reflection 4

I dont have too much experience with blogging. A couple of my friends had blogs which I would look at while I was bored and online. I never made one for myself because I didnt really have much to tell people and I didnt think too many people would be that interested in what I would be writing about anyways. Now that I realize blogging doesnt have to be a "diary" and can be used in the classroom like an online discussion forum my opinon of blogging has changed.

Reflection 3

In my first reflection I talked about some of the technology I was familiar with. Most of it was something I used on my own for school like Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, or Excel. I also talked some technologies I was familiar with, but not completely comfortable using on my own, becasue I had only seen them used in my classrooms at school by teachers. My second reflection was about the newer technologies and what I thought about them. I think these new technologies are going to be helpful to new generations of students, but it also scares me to think how all of this will change the school dynamic that I've become so used to.

Reflection 4

Working with blogs is way easier than I thought it would be. This is the first time for me to be a blogger. I never started befreo because I felt as if I never had anything worthwhile to publish. This has shown me that it is easy and can be applicable to both work and one's personal lifestyle. The blog provides a great way for students to stay in contact and up to date with class material, since it can be accessed outside of the classroom.

Reflection 3

Reflections 1 and 2 were basic ways I have used technology in my classes. It has all been basic stuff for paper, projects, and presentations. It is exciting to use and talk about the new technology that I have not used or heard about. When we listed our technologies in Reflection 2, the technology on the top of my list, was stuff I have never used before. New material and technology can make class fun and exciting for both students and teachers.
