Reflective Learning Blog #3


Since my last posting I have made quite a few accomplishments. First off, I created and completed my very first website. My website was supposed to be created as if it were created by students. The site was all about the settings of Peter Pan and I felt like it turned out pretty well. I learned how useful a website can be especially in a classroom setting. It can be used for class projects or as a means of communication between student, teacher, and parents. Really, the sky’s the limit with these websites and they are free. It cannot get much better than that. Also, we learned how to create a Prezi which I have never used before. A Prezi is pretty similar to a power point but a lot more active and engaging. They are absolutely perfect for presenting to a class of kids. How it works is that instead of making slides you have information all on the same page and you then create a path and that path will enhance certain things when needed. It is great for kids because of all of the movement and graphics. All of these things would be great for catching and maintaining a students attention. The more I learn about technology, the more I become excited to become a teacher and gain my own classroom and put all of my new knowledge to use.
