Reflection 10

What?
This week we are creating an activity that students could do on powerpoint. We as the teachers are creating step by step instructions so help the students understand what they are suppossed to be doing.
So What?
I am so glad that we are doing this activity. I think that it is for us to be able to see how teachers to create the step by step instructions with hyperlinks in them so that we can see exactly what they want us to do.
Learning how this process is done can help me in my classes that i am taking and going to take in the future, because i now better understand how to do hyperlinks and put them onto a word document. I just really like this technology that i learned this week.
Now What?
This technology means a lot to me, i am so glad that i know how to do it. I know that it will help me when i am a teacher. It will help me with my co-workers because we will be able to make these rubrics and instruction sheets and them share our ideas with each other. Also they aren't that hard to do, so if i want to make something a little more fun i can make up the rubric using hyperlinks and then the kids will have fun playing and creating their own game/activity.
For the kids i think that it can make learning more fun and personal for them. I just want the kids to like to learn and have fun learning. My passion is to teach kids and to make learning fun, and memorable. School should be a place that kids like to go, because they enjoy what the teacher is teaching and the way it is taught.
Video Reflection
This short video is somthing that everyone should hear and listen to. I do believe in me and i believe in the people around me, that they can become all that they want to become. We all need to believe in ourselves or else life can be really hard if we don't think we can succeed. I think that we all need to support each other and help one another or else not a lot of people will make it. It is the constant love and help that we get from those around us that will help us to be all that we can be.

Reflection 9

What?
This week is just an overview of what we have learned so far. We didn't have an assignment, so i am just going to recap all all that i have been learning.
So What?
All this new technology that i am learning is helping me in a few ways already. I am able to do more on the computer for starters, and find good information. I find all this very helpful when i am looking up things, or working in a group. I like that i can be in a group and contribute good ideas.
I think all the technology that i have learned is and will continue to help me in the groups that i am in. I think that I-Docs and presentation are wonderful ways to display something to infront of a class. Having all the information organized on a powerpoint is a great way to show and express what you know and are trying to teach.
Now What?
Everything that i have learned and will learn will help me in my classroom when i begin teaching. It will help me be more organized, so that my class can easily follow along with what i am doing. I also like that my class can be more involved in the learning themselves. It isn't just me up front teaching, it's my kids helping out too.
I also think that this technology will help me as a teacher as well as my team of teachers that i will be working with. Everyone will have there own ideas and ways of teaching, but we can all get together and make new and improved ideas on how to teach and run the classroom. So yes, i have learned many things so far that will and have helped me already in my schooling and in my preparation to becoming a teacher.
