I think that the tutorials were beneficial that we did on the smart board in class. I also wanted to let people know that I am familiar with it, I do not know a whole lot on it, but if anyone has questions on the basics feel free to get a hold of me. There are a lot of neat things to do with it all the way from lessons to just review games. I think that our conversations on the articles were interesting, and that it is interesting to see all the different things that are going on around us in education. I also enjoyed reading about all the adaptive technologies that people explored in our previous blogs. There are also a lot out there that we aren't to familiar with, but this is how we can learn about them.
I also think that the E-field trips was a great idea, and that we may have to start doing things along this line. It seems with budget cuts being made that field trips is unfortunately one of them that is being cut as well. Just something we need to keep in mind with the schools.

It's good to know that if I have any questions on the smartboard I can go to you. I agree with you that things may change and E-field trips may be getting more popular as budget cuts increase. An E-field trip is better than no field trip.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Steph about the E-field trips. I think that with the way our economy is right now that field trips are going to be harder and harder to take for financial reasons. This does not mean that field trips have to stop all together. Knowing that the E-field trips are an option is a huge benefit to teachers. I am also looking forward to learning more about the smartboard. I have a litte background knowledge now and I only hope that I can build upon it. It's nice to know that Steph is someone who can assist me in doing this!
ReplyDeleteI think that the best thing we can do if we're unsure about technology to reach out to a colleague. I wasn't able to attend class when we did the Smartboard tutorials, but I went to my school's librarian and asked her to give me a lesson, and she definitely did! It was a lot of fun, and she was really good to me. I really think that that is something we can all do. Just reach out and ask questions.
