From+My+Heart

 This class has been very informative for me. I didn’t know really anything about podcasts, online video makers, web 2.0 tools, and so much more. I learned that there is more to teaching than teaching about your subject. It is my responsibility to implement all the tools we have available to learn and experiment with. I already knew that technology is a huge aspect of our society, but I never related it to all aspects of education. My view, and experience, was that you take classes specific to technology to learn technology.

I am most proud of my videos. I used to be in video production and I love to make visuals. I get excited every time I watch my introduction video to graphing. It really gets me excited to graph! Although making the videos are on the easier side, I found many of the assignments a little difficult due to not knowing the programs. To work past this obstacle I will make sure to take the time to learn the programs by using them often. Like I say with math, practice makes perfect.

I will be teaching in the 21st century. My classroom will be creative and focused on expanding how we can apply what we’re learning to the world. Technology will be widely used and experimented with on mathematical applications and as a classroom social tool. I will continually research what kind of technology I can use to teach as well as learning tools for my students.
