Throughout my K-12 experience, I encoutered different technologies in my classrooms. These include overhead projectors, computers, TVs, VCRs, calculators, DVDs, the Internet, cell phones, and satellite TV. The best tecnology integration I had in school was in high school. My pre-calculus teacher hooked up her calculator to the overhead projector to show us how to solve problems on our own. The technologies I've had the most experience with inclue the Internet, word processing, e-mail, and power point. The least amount of experience includes podcasts, creating web pages, and games/simulation. I would most like to learn how to create and maintain a website during this course.
The video shown in class two weeks ago included many of my "top five" technological innovations. These include the smart boards, blogs, podcasts, video/audio conferencing, and websites. In my own classroom, I would use blogs and podcasts to keep my students and their families updated on what is going on in my class, as well as giving and receiving feedback. This I think would also be good to post interesting things for student access. The main thing I learned from that class period is that technology is not limited to chalk boards and computers with power point. It is always evolving and there will always be new things to integrate into one's classroom.
