Learning More About Technology
During my PS3 internship, I would try to reach out and find out more about the Smartboard but I would keep getting recommended to focus more on learning the new EPSON technology that is coming into the schools in the next couple years. I wanted to learn about more about technology that was not just from the Smartboard this semester. I found a few things that were helpful and I can see myself using in my own classroom either because it was helpful organizational wise for the teacher or because it would benefit student learning. One thing that I learned how to use was the Sway presentations that I liked because I found it was helpful to me as a teacher to keep my thoughts organized through my lessons but also helped transitions go smoother and was helpful for exceptional learners.
