What I have learned…By Tom Affleck

Nervous and Confused

At the beginning….

Bookmarking?

PLN?

PODCASTS?

Infographics?

Blogging?

Hey Mike?! What the heck are you talking about?

How did I learn?

By Blogging about something new 2 or 3 times a week.

AND…Reading other peoples Blogs on my RSS about the same internet subject.

My Personal Learning Network

The Different Ways To Connect

Connecting through Technology is the way go.

Goodbye Pencils and Paper!

Find Out How your students connect and try it in the classroom.

Learning by Connecting

This class has really opened my eyes for the future.

Am I Prepared? I better be.

Technology is always changing. Need to keep up to date with everything that comes out.

Technology has made learning fun and engaging for students of all ages.

The Future of an Educator

…To begin to use these different ways to connect out in the educational world

Very Excited and Pumped!

Technology has had and will continue to have a significant impact on education.

Videos (Smartboard)

Infographics (Visuals)

IPADs (Another tool that is engaging for kids)

Apps Useful in assessment

Future…

Combining face to face classroom methods with on-line learning.

Students seemed to be much more engaged when using some kind of technology.

Teachers need to encourage students to explore all pieces of technology.

Blended Learning

All about keeping students engaged!

Youtube, Teachertube, Brainpop Jr…etc

You as a teacher can stand and blab about god knows what all day long, and your visual learners will not get anything out of it.

Video in the Classroom

I have definitely learned a TON from this class.

In the end, I am thankful that us 1st years were put in this class.

Anyways…

Excited to use all the tools I have been introduced to in I4Ed.

This is just the beginning!!

No Longer Confused or Nervous
