Reflection for today
When training began I was quite bored because most of the material that was being discussed I am already compenent in those areas. However, after break things began to lighten up. I learned so much about my gmail account and the variable perks that are offered! I am going to apply what I learned today such as labels, sharing information, and the documents in my everyday email account and bussiness matters. I enjoyed using the promethan board(hope I spelled that correctly), it was AWESOME! I also enjoyed using the audacity program as well. I think that I am going to gain alot of knowledge from this training and can not wait to go to the school system and share with the teachers.

I agree on the promethan board. I thought it was totally awesome and completely useful. I believe that it will open a whole to range on what teachers will be able to do in their classrooms.
ReplyDelete@chan, I knew nothing about gmail either. So learning about that was also exciting for me. I too am an education major at Mississippi Valley State University. But I am currently taking a break! The board was something else that was new for me too. I also can not wait until I get the chance to share my new knowlege with the teachers.
ReplyDeleteToday was a ok day, the gmail account really open up my mind to some new experiences. I was really surprise about how much material we really covered today. The promethan board was nothing new to me because we use them in my school. I attend Northwest MS Community College and they really incoprate these boards in the math classes.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed today....I also found audacity interesting. Even though I had used google earth once before, I didn't know about some of the areas/tools that was used today. So I know that it will be a fun way to get students in my local school district into science and/or social study classes.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm going to agree too about the awsomeness of the promethean board, I've actually spoken to a couple of teachers already who have expressed that even though a lot of the classrooms have one, no one seems to know how to use it. So already we've learned something that can be of use!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the initial start of today's training (already knowing some of the information). As the day progress, I found that there was so much more to the very technology that I thought I knew so well.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be interesting to learn more about the very technological resources that we use daily! I am very anxious to see what's in store the rest of this week!
See you tomorrow!
I actually didnt know that Google had so many perks and learning them were informative and fun.
ReplyDeleteEven if you are already are familiar with some of the tools we're covering, one of the things that you can do is start thinking about ways that you can use these tools in an educational environment. So instead of being bored, try starting to think about these tools in a new context.
