Week Three

The third week of class went well for me. It was fun to see everyone's UEN public pages and learn some fun facts about my classmates. It was also nice to see how other's did their pages because it gave me a few ideas of how to improve mine.
From our current assignment I feel I am getting the hang of how to find information, activities, videos, etc. for lesson plans. I am excited to be learning how to do this since it will be something i'll do daily as a teacher. It is also really helpful to be learning where on the web I can find useful resources to use in my lesson plans. I have always been kind of nervous when I think about how many lesson plans i'll have to plan especially my first few years of teaching but I feel this class is helping a lot and preparing me for my future as a teacher.

Week Two

I liked learning how to personalize my UEN public page. I have enjoyed filling it in with things about me and I think it will be very useful when I am a teacher. Also, the paper we wrote last week on technology in the classroom was a really interesting assignment. It helped me to see what others opinions are and to get ideas of how to best use technology in my classroom. I really liked how one article talked about students having the chance to voice their opinions to the teachers. I hope to listen to my students opinions instead of ignore how they would want to be taught and do what I want because that isn't as effective. 

Week One

So far I think I am going to really like Computer Technology in Education. Prior to coming to class on Tuesday I felt as if I was pretty computer savvy and knew just about all the basics of using a computer. However, after taking that survey I realized that there are still several things I am not completely sure how to do and even a few things I didn't even know about. So I am looking forward to learning those things and expanding my computer knowledge. Also, I am excited to learn more ways to incorporate technology into the classroom. I feel it is really important to use electronic resources when teaching so this class will be very useful for me as a future teacher.
