PROMPT 10

1 paragraph on topics you found most interesting from reviewing your classmates’ blogs.1 paragraph on what technology-related skill you would most like to learn next, and why.1 paragraph on ways in which you might achieve your future educational technology-related goals.

When reviewing my classmates' blogs, I found a lot of their posts and ideas of future utilization of the technology and programs we learned about in class interesting. Many of my classmates had many creative ideas which would allow them to incorporate programs such as excel and Microsoft word into their classrooms designed to fit their subject. Furthermore, my favorite post thus far was reading about everyone’s' final project ideas and will be looking forward to seeing their presentations Monday.

One technology skill I would like to learn about next would have to be one that deals more with digital media. I think that knowing how to create music/video/ audio files on the computer will be essential in the future. I believe that technology is the way of the future, and people rely more and more on these resources for daily use. In my classroom, being able to make short clips, edit audio files and etc would be a great way to stimulate learning and appeal to the students who are more visual/audio learners.

One way I can better achieve my future educational technology goals would be to either try to learn new programs on my free time, or to take additional technology classes which would give me a better understanding of technological resources available for use in the classroom. Additionally, researching the web for online resources and programs would be vastly effective and offers a wide variety of ideas and options for teachers.
