Since our last blog we have created an interactive power point, designed an educational movie and developed Wikispaces. I enjoyed creating the power point. I have created power points before, but never like the power point we designed for class. I liked the fact that we made the power points interactive so that students can use them as well the teacher. I also thought the hyperlinks added to the power point effectiveness. The educational movies were the next project. What I enjoyed learning from this project was how to download a movie to you tube for public viewing. I think the movies would be a great review of a lesson or units. I plan to implement movies as reviews for student to review before or on our day of review for a quiz or test. It was the first time I used Windows Live Movie Maker. The third project was to develop a wikispace. I haven’t been able to vision how I would implement this technology into my classroom. The other technologies I thought provided the technology that the wikispace provides and then some. However the from this wikispace assignment I did discover some of the emerging technology that I found to be useful. My favorite emergent technology was the side vibe. I liked the way that program helps with keeping all of the research and note taking information up on the monitor. With side vibe you don’t have a bunch of papers on the desk that need to be arranged in some manner, everything is on front of you on the computer.
