I use technology everyday and in a lot of different ways. I think the way I use it the most, in contributing to my knowledge, is by researching topics in health that I am interested. This could be through blogs, videos, or organization websites such as webMD and the CDC.
I have used different types of technology to collaborate with classmates. I have used G-Chat, Skype, email, and of course google docs. I really like google docs because it allows you to work on a paper on one project all at the same time. You don't have to meet in person but can simply log on and add you part to the paper or project. It is simple to add people and post documents, very easy to use, and it can be extremely helpful.
I would definitely use videos, websites, and I want to make a class website for when I have my own class. These different technologies can add to content and can be extremely helpful in letting kids have one portal where they can check when things are due, grades, upcoming assignments, etc. for class. I think that is a great tool.
I was very skeptical of this class. But once I started learning how to explore and learn for myself how things work it was great. I loved our projects that we did: the blog, website, and movie, and I can see how they would benefit a classroom. I had no idea how to make a movie or a website upon entering this class. Now I do know how, and I am excited about it and proud of what I learned.
I will definitely be more willing to try and learn new technologies, you never know what you can find and use in the class. As I stated before I will definitely be using movies and a class website. Those are great and fun things.
