Tracy King EDU 611 Final Reflection

GEMS:

I enjoyed this class, and I think that it will be useful to me in the future. I know that technology can be useful to get information out and to make creative lessons. I thought that learning about how to make interactive games can be useful for my lessons as well as cause and effect sensory time in my classroom.

I made a game about the Weather that I will be able to use during Circle Time every day because the date and weather are discussed. I can also create a game that will animate shapes using a switch click. This would enable the students to be able to access the game more independently. I used Photostory to illustrate our most recent community based instruction. I think that this would be a good tool to use for all of the community trips. I liked the opportunity to learn multiple Medias.

OPS:

I thought that there were a lot of different things to learn and that even though I have had a taste of each technology, I still do not feel 100% comfortable with any of it. I think some of the time would have been better spent diving deeper into 2-3 things. I would have liked to learn the intricacies of Google power point.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, I thought this class was very useful and informative.
