Reflection 3 and 4

Reflection 3

I think technology can help teachers teach more efficiently and students learn more efficiently. Technology offers new and different ways to present ideas in a classroom. It also allows students to express themselves easier so that we can assess their learning more accurately. One of my favorite technology innovations is podcasting. By recording your lessons, students then have convenient access to classroom discussion. It can be used to review or just catch up with any lessons students may have missed. I also think remote clickers are a great way to have an entire class respond to a question without their answers being influenced by each other.

Reflection 4

I have found blogging to be a bit confusing in the past two classes. However, I think I finally have the hang of it. I like blogging because it is a great way to organize and display various discussions online. On the other hand, I find blogging to be a little superfluous in that there tends to be so many postings that you don't want to take the time to read any of them. I enjoy working with the eportfolio especially when I know what I'm doing. This web site is good because it is something that will be beneficial to our professional careers after we graduate.
