EDCI 505: Conclusion

This is my last blog for class. I cannot believe how fast this class went! I learned so many different things and how I can't wait to use them in my future classroom! I never thought I would make my own blog, website or even YouTube video! This has been a really fun class.  I would have never known about glogsters or even symbaloo. Both of these sites will be very useful and i can see myself using them in class. The best thing I learned about was Google Docs. This will make grading very easy and also I can put basically anything into a spreadsheet. I also coach, so making spreadsheets will be very helpful in the future.

I really enjoyed this class and I recommend it to anyone at Ashland or anyone going into education! With the way technology is becoming everyone is going to need to know this information. 

Thanks for reading my blog!

Using Pinterest in the classroom

Another blog, another new way to use Technology in the classroom. For class I looked at Pinterest and how we can use it in the classroom. Overall, Pinterest is a great social networking website with great ideas for teachers to use. I think that teachers can use this for finding great lessons and information. Teaches area able to use this at home in order to get creative ideas and materials for their classroom. These ideas can be printed out and brought into the classroom or lesson plans. It allows teachers to use each other for ideas. This can only be a good thing, the more ideas the better. It is a fun way to do something different in the classroom. These conceptions can help generate memorization of content and what is being taught within the classroom. Overall, the possibilities for this website are endless for both students and teachers within education and the classroom.
