Technology is Waiting!

I can't believe this is the last blog of the semester. Time flies when you are having fun. Technology has been a great class. I learned so much! I enjoyed working in groups! In fact I enjoyed working in groups so much that when I found out our final is on our own I was almost in a panic. After giving myself some serious self talk I decided I can do this.

I looked online to get my creative juices flowing and I think I have come up with some good ideas. One of the ideas is to do something with google earth. Maybe the students could go on a treasure hunt or something like that and find different land forms found in Utah (for fourth grade) on google earth. Another idea is to have the students make up their own chat bot for some kind of famous person in history. The students can make their own chat bot using a downloadable program called virsona.

I will keep the lesson plans I create and hopefully be able to use them in my future classroom. Technology is an amazing tool that will keep my students interest and help them enjoy their education. There is so much that can still be done to further our educational world. The technology that is available could change education as we know it. Our students could be working on technology that will help them make great contributions to their society. Reality is there isn't enough money put into education and funding so we as educators need to figure out how to get technology grants so we can make a difference in the world of education. The technology is ready and waiting!
