Growth and Learning

My Learning Through Technology class has certainly expedited my digital growth.  Throughout this course, I have recognized new ways to bring technology into the classroom and have incorporated them into my lessons.

Some examples include:  having my students use wordle to create word clouds of their weekly spelling words, setting up and implementing a classroom blog so that students can write to a real audience, using animoto to create photo videos to show as a front loader to lessons, and a WebQuest in which students will embark upon an activity in which they will research Native American tribes.

This class has shown me the importance of keeping up to date with new technology.  The students we have today will need to have strong skills in digital literacy when they graduate.  Therefore, I need to continue to incorporate technology in all domains in meaningful and authentic ways.
