Week 4

Wow...! I have learned a lot about technology and how I can incorporate it into my classroom during the last few weeks. I have always had a love-hate relationship with computers. In the past, technology has tested my patience and frustrated me on countless occassions. Lately, however, I'm feeling more confident and even excited about using what I've learned this summer in the upcoming school year. Working in groups for an online class, I discovered, was a challenge but seemed to get easier. Despite that, I loved exploring scavenger hunts and web quests and creating one also. I will definately use that knowledge to create more in the future. It's a fun and structured way for students to explore websites and gather specific information. I'm already thinking of ways to weave it into my curriculum. I'm starting to look forward to the end of August. I'm planning on making new strides as a teacher and enjoying a terrific year.
