Cody Trueblood Reflection 3 & 4

From the first two reflections, I thought I really got a good feeling for what sorts of technology is most used in classrooms and what kinds of technology that I would most like to implement in my classroom. Even though I only had limited experience with technology personally, I see that it can be very useful for the students. I was particularly interested in the interactive whiteboard and the remote control clicker, both of these seem amazing to me. The whiteboard would be awesome for class notes and doing examples on while at the same time checking multiple sources on the computer at the same time. With the remote control clicker, the teacher could evaluate something mid-lesson and adapt the lesson from there, it's such a great tool.

As far as the class blog, I do think it's cool now that we know how to get on our class blog, I just do not really understand why we're doing it. Is it just another technology that we're getting exposed to? Other than that I like it. However, the e-portfolio I am sort of confused about. I just can't follow everything in class fast enough to keep up with Chun-Yi. It just takes me more time to get on the same track as her, hopefully I'll be able to keep up from now on, maybe I just need to concentrate more. I do have some things going on my e-portfolio so it's not a lost cause yet.
