Last post of the semester

This class has reinforced the theory that technology is something that can support the learning of an individual in many different and innovative ways.  I think that it is important to incorporate technologies into the classroom when appropriate or even necessary. 
Something I have learned throughout the semester is that technology is something that can always be incorporated but it is something that can get over used or used at inappropriate times.  When technology is used at inappropriate times it detracts from a lesson and may distract the individual student.
I feel like I could some how incorporate all of the different technologies that we used throughout the semester in some way.  Technology that I could see definitely using in my classes are:
Blog
Webquest
Google Docs
Audacity
Movie Maker
Microsoft Office
Internet Explorer
The other technologies, like Digo, are things that if I used them I would definitely have to try and incorporate into my lessons. 
I think technology is great because it not only stretches the creativity and learning curve for the students but the teacher too.  It is great for creating creative and engaging lessons but it is important to know the correct time and place to incorporate different technology tools in my classroom.

Google Earth

Google Earth is a really interesting and fun tool to use.  I think that it can be utilized in many different and innovative ways. One of the subject I am going to be teaching is geography so I could use this as a way for students to find different places and even explore the different aspect of each place.  They could even design a vaction or trip with different places to visit and explore.  The student could either describe it themselves or they could switch with another student and that student could use the steps of that trip and see if they find the same things.  I really like this tool because I could use it in my class :)
