I think I finally finished my lesson plan! Man, it was a lot of work! When this weeks assignment was posted, there was something that really intrigued me. I had no idea that Michigan had specific standards for teaching technology! And to think that ten years ago half of the things posted on there didn't even exist...and there are so many standards! I think this is crucial for children in school now. Technology is only going to blast off even further into space and the children need to be well equipped with what to do in case of a technological "emergency" ;)
It also goes to show you how rapidly technology is changing. I truly believe that using technology in the classroom is extremely beneficial. This is my second class relating technology to teaching, and it has widened my horizon. Not only will I use it in my future classrooms, I have also begun to use some of the tools in my personal life. I love pageflake and tweetdeck. Actually, I'm OBSESSED with tweetdeck.
While I've been dreading having summer classes, I genuinely enjoy what we are learning about and can't wait to see what is up next. I hope that through this class, it opens even more doors for me finding relevant tools for my children with special needs.
