My name is Kelli. I am attending Ashland University to gain my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. In this blog, I will be sharing some things I have learned about in my Educational Technology class.
In today's world, technology isn't just an option, its a necessity now. I believe that technology should be introduced in the classroom from the start. It is also very important for a teacher to be familiar with all the different technologies. Teachers should utilize as much knowledge and technology in their classrooms as possible.
I have learned about, and made, a couple different resources I could use in my classroom... And its only the beginning! Honestly, I am shocked (in a good way) at the different ideas there are for teachers to use technology to help their students learn. Not to mention, they are pretty cool!
We created a Personal Learning Environment with Symbaloo EDU. Making this was easy and painless. Here, you can create a place where your students can view different topics. It is easy to organize, and add what ever you need. This virtual personal learning environment allows students to get the best out of the web, with their teacher's assistance.
Another fun resource we practices is GlogsterEDU. This is a visual design and an interactive poster. It has tools that meet the educational needs of students. We used a variety of mediums in our posters towards one topic. This was fun, and easy to make visually attractive and inviting for learners.
Here is a link to my Glogster: kfranz2.edu.glogster.com/fire-safety-for-kids
You can share your resources with others. These different Web 2.0 technologies allow teachers to access different resources and enhance classroom learning.
