TIE 300 : What have you learned this quarter?

What I have learned this quarter from TIE 300 is how technology can be used in the classroom. I learned how children can learn from technology and how technology is growing everyday in the classroom. I also learned how teachers should know and understand how to use appropriate sites and teach students what is appropriate and what isn't. It is also a good idea for teachers to know and educate themselves on the newest features of technology so they are up to date on what is being used recently.

I also learned about TPACK and how to use it, something that I didn't even know or understand. I also learned how to use Moviemaker. Moviemaker was cool to do and I hope to be able to make a video at the end of this school year for my students, to show how much they have grown and learned over the 3 years with their teachers. I also learned how to add my voice into moviemaker which was new to me.

This quarter I also learned how to make a Blogger and learned how Google is so much more then a search site. I learned how having a Google gmail let me access things like powerpoints, word document, blogger, create my own site, map, and so much more. Children in the classroom are already learning how to use this and I am glad that I finally learned how to use it myself.

This class has taught me how important it is to be able to know, learn, and use technology in the classroom. I have taken many things in this class and started to implement it in my everyday life.
