Reflection

Some of the skills I learned from completing Assignment 5 was how to hyperlink text and changing the setting so that the linear flow of the PowerPoint is turned off. I really loved creating my Jeopardy and finding all of the questions and answers and adding them to the PowerPoint. It was a great, fun way to become more accustomed with how to work PowerPoint. However, I didn't like how long and tedious the assignment was. There was a lot of detail that became very monotonous.

I loved seeing how creative my classmates have been with their blogs. You can see that we are learning the tips on technology very well as we are implementing them into our blogs. The websites that I checked out from my classmates' blogs was very interesting. I loved getting to see what grades they are passionate about and the kind of resources they found for their "students."

I want to learn how to best implement the Smart Boards into the classroom. I think they can be a very useful tool in the classroom, but I have rarely seen teachers using it to what I think can be its fullest potential. I want to achieve this goal by observing what teachers do in the classroom and how I can either implement that into my classroom or expand upon. I also want to do more research on smart boards, looking at blogs, websites, videos to take those skills and use them in my own future classroom.
