For class today, we learned how to make a simple grade book in an excel spreadsheet. This was so great to learn and I am so excited to use this. It makes grading so easy!

"Audio Podcast Reflection on Video"

I have created an audio podcast to share my personal reflection on the video I have worked on. I think that there are a lot of factors that go into making a video, and we need to make sure to have enough time to create such a neat project, but it was a lot of fun.

"Video Podcast Production - Reaction"

For one of our assignments we were to go to the link (http://edcommunity.apple.com/ali/story.php?itemID=365)on the Learning Interchange website for our class to learn about video production steps and how to make great videos. This site was excellent and had a lot of information to offer the new videographers. Our next project will be to create an actual video about ourselves!! How exciting.

"Podcasting"

Bishop Chan is teaching us how to create podcasts. Here is my first attempt. These can help my students to review material that I may post and think is most important for the class. These are very helpful for teachers and students.
Students can also then make comments on the podcasts and create a conversation about what topics we have covered in class.

HOW FUN!

Technology in the Classroom

I am about to begin my full time student teaching at Brigham Young University Hawaii and in preparation for this, I get to take a class called Technology in the Classroom. I am so excited to learn more about the many different technologies available to me as I learn how to be a good teacher.
In my classroom in the future, I plan to use technology to help students become interested in the news and different ways of interacting with other people using the internet. I hope that by using the different technologies available, my students will develop a love for and interest in using technology to help them learn. I plan on using a blog for my classroom where students can log on and comment on the lessons we have and provide feedback or ask more questions about the topics we discuss. I also plan to have them visit various news sites and comment on interesting articles that they read and email me the post they make.
I do not have a lot of deep experience using technology in the classroom; however, I know that it will be beneficial to my students and provide a fast way for me to get feedback and answer questions or address concerns my students may have. I want to learn more. It will also help students to improve their verbal skills and writing techniques while they learn how to express their opinions. I hope to learn more about my students and how to be an effective teacher by using these methods in my curriculum.
I feel that if I were to have had a tool like this available to me, I may have been more willing to ask questions or voice my opinion about topics I learned about while I was in high school. There were many times while I was in high school, or even now in college, that I have something to say, but there is not time, I am embarrassed to raise my hand or the teacher did not leave time for questions, whereas if there had been a place for me to go and take the time to voice these things and receive my own feedback as a student, I would have loved it. I hope that by using these tools, I will be able to address some of these issues with my future students.
