End of the Year Recap

What did I learn most about: The two weeks that I learned the most was when we covered Geometer Sketchpad and graphing calculators. I have used both graphing calculators and Geometer Sketchpad in the classroom prior to this course, but I learned new applications in both deepening my understanding.

What technology will I utilize the most: The technology that I will utilize the most is Smartboard, if the school I am teaching at has the technology. The power of Smartboard allows for a teacher to implement many strategies that enhance student learning. It is also a great organizational tool for teachers’, having the ability to save notes taken from previous classes.

Has you view of technology changed: No my view of technology has not changed from taking this, but it has deepened it. I believe that technology should be implemented in the classroom more and more and this course has helped me see the technologies that are readily available to me.

How will this course benefit me: This course gives an in depth understanding of the different technologies I can look forward to using in my future classroom. I know that the first couple years of teaching can be overwhelming, but being familiar with these different technologies will help alleviate some stress. Also awesome resume builder, and worth mentioning at an interview.
