PROMPT 4

A paragraph on how you, as a teacher, might make use of the concepts presented in Chapter 7, and what technologies you would like to use to achieve these goals.A paragraph addressing why or why not you would encourage or require your students to develop outline, idea map, and storyboarding skills.A paragraph on new skills you acquired in the last week that you think will be especially useful to you in your educational career and why you think so.

As a middle school teacher I would definitely implement the concepts and technologies mentioned in chapter 7. Outlines and idea maps would allow the students to organize their thoughts and ideas and would improve their essays. As a history teacher, idea webs would be ideal to create for the students to show when various ideas and events took place in time and to explain what occurred and the impact of the event. Programs such as inspiration are beneficial in it. I would, however, try to find a free online program the students can utilize and access at home that have the same basic capabilities as inspiration so that they can make their own maps at home.

I believe that learning how to operate inspiration and create flow charts will be very beneficial to me. The program gives me a lot of different ideas of how to teach the curriculum and be able to appeal to different kinds of learners. Furthermore, it can help the students prepare for their tests.
