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.
