Interactive Whiteboard

This past week in class I saw my first interactive whiteboard. I was amazed and had to learn more. During the past 2 months in class I have learned so much about technology in education. There are so many resources for teachers and students. I have had my eyes opened and am glad for the tools we will be able to use as teachers. The interactive white board is awesome. I had no idea that such a great technological resource was out there along with so many useful lesson plans.

Internet Safety

This past week I have read several articles on Internet Awarness. It is scary with all of the things one needs to be aware of while surfing the net. I am glad that there are firewalls and other safety features to help protect users. There is so much information on the internet that we need to be very carefull with what sites we visit and what sites are valid. Safety is my greatest concern with children on the internet. Computers should be in a place where parents and adults can monitor the computer use.

Power Point

This past week I have been trying to learn a few new things about power point. I have been going over some of the lessons in the 50 power point activities book and they are somewhat difficult for me. After much trial and error I was able to do some of them. It has been quite the learning experience. I am now trying to figure out the digital camera lesson and put it on a power point. Hopefully it will go smoothly.
