I was most impressed with the Screen Capture option for my students to use. I believe it will be helpful for my students so that they can demonstrate and explain how they complete specific tasks. I have been so impressed with the screen capture program option that I have recommended it to multiple teachers of various subjects and grade level.
Learning about digital story telling was a great opportunity for me. I had been searching for an alternative means to provide my students an outlet for their understanding. I have already begun using Voice Thread and Screen Capture in my classroom. I am testing it with a few of my top level (above grade level) students. With its success and the kinks worked out, I plan to begin to use it more wide spread with my students. The option of blogging will also be used to help with opening up communication between students.
This opportunity to learn about and practice with these different technology options, will be something I expand and grow with in the coming year. Combined with the programs I learned about in prior classes and certainly more programs and websites, I will learn about in future classes, I believe I will become a strong teacher. In our next class, I am looking forward to the ways to integrate technology across other curriculums. I am most interested in this course to not only improve my cross curriculum technology skills but also to possible provide my team teachers with some new options to improve their technology options. Additionally, I have been considering trying to teach elementary, preferably upper grade levels. If I was to change from middle school science to elementary, I would be responsible for teaching additional core subject. While I do not have the specific steps figured out at this time, I do know that my National Boards are on the horizon this coming fall.
