ILP "Design" Prezi

I made a Prezi Power Point presentation for my fake 5th grade classroom. My presentation went over everything I would go over on the first day of class "syllabus day." Below you will find the link to the prezi page. I enjoyed making the prezi, it's a great organized way one can present information to a class. Both students and teachers can use prezi.

The tutorial I watched, Educational Technology for Student Success touched on a lot of great information. I learned about all the technology tools teachers can use in the classroom. I had no idea how many there really is. The speaker even explained to me step by steps on how to use the technology with students and parents. Lynda.com is an amazing! The website displays endless amounts of tech video tutorials. I absolutely plan to use this website again. My favorite part was when he talked about using free google tools. As well as when he discussed how important the rules on copyright are, and how a teacher should teach the students how to safely use information that isn't their own.

I would use the Data Collection tool to keep record of all of my students grades and absences  well organized. It's a great and easy tool for a teacher to use. A teacher can easily access the data collection tool on excel. If I was a sixth grade science teacher, I would keep record of my students absences, tardies, test, homework, quizzes, project grades as well as any extra credit points.

 

 I found it interesting how there is a wide variety of areas one can go into the education major. One my be interested in teaching special education while another may want to be a high school history teacher. I also liked seeing the screenshots of everyone's weekly assignment. I saw many creative and fun screenshots of how each one did the assignments.

 

 I would like to learn how to use a smart board. Most schools have traded out the out dated black board for smart boards. This is why it's essential that I learn how to use one. I know how to use the smart board a little bit.. But I find it very complex and scary. I plan to learn this coming up week when I go back to visit the tech sand box. I am going to play with the smart board and ask all the questions I have about it. I am determined to learn how to properly use this tech device.

Going to the tech sand box room will help me overcome any fears or obstacles I need to in educational technology. Reading articles and newsletter on new technology can help me keep up to date with all future educational technology devices. Practicing all the tools PowerPoint, Word, and Excel has to offer is another way I can achieve my tech goals.
