Blog #6

            I chose to visit my son’s school’s website and his first grade teacher’s online pages. Publicly you can access and see information about his first grade teacher such as an introduction about her and her family and background. Also, there are several educational links that direct both students and parents to additional learning resources outside of the classroom. Mrs. Kagy, also posts: announcements, assignments, homework, important documents, the class newsletter, schedules and class fun on the website for parents and students to access information about her classroom. You can access the school’s website through this link http://www.leonschools.net/hawksrise.

            I envision myself using technology that helps my students succeed in their learning environment. The Smart-Board is a great tool which project on a large level and reaches the entire classroom even those students who sit in the back of the classroom. I believe that effective teaching requires feedback from parents and students as well regarding the material and how well it is being understood. Also, the use of productivity tools that enables teacher to track their student’s progress so that it can be shared in review to measure performance and address areas of concern that may need to be addressed. I also feel that it is important to understand any limitations that students may have to technology outside of the classroom and take this into account when assigning homework, projects and other school work.

The Technology Sandbox proved to demonstrate its dynamic learning environment where students of the College of Education can learn and practice using various instructional technologies and tools. Being able to understanding how these technologies can be embedded into real life teaching, learning, assessment, and research is very valuable knowledge. The range from PreK-12, continuing and higher education, and other educational organizations is all encompassing and allows students to meet rigorous accreditation requirements, and state standards. I cannot imagine better preparation for FSU graduates to be successful in their future professional careers. Gaming, iPad, e-readers, and tablets are all technologies that I intend to use and through personal experience with these technologies I am confident that they will be useful in my classroom and with my students to make learning engaging and fun at the same time. It is time to step away from the desk, chalkboard and overhead projector. It is the interactive technology that will make an impact when teaching my students.
