Technology+Reflection

__Podcast__  I enjoyed the podcast because it was a way to use literacy and techonolgy together. The podcast also allows parents and students to do activites which can be very entertaining and these activites also bring busy families together. __Smartboard Lesson__  Before the smartboard lesson activity, I was extremely uncomfortable using a smartboard, however after teaching a lesson on the smartboard, I feel comfortable using it. Furthermore, the smartboard is a fun and educational way to teach students, I can now see how the smartboard is very useful in the classroom. __ TIP Project __  I truly enjoyed in this project simply becasue I was able to use various forms of technolgy that I had already used in this class. However, while working on my TIP project I felt extremely comfortable with the technology. In my indidvidual lesson plan I chose to use Podcast becasue I bleive it is a great and different way of teaching the required curriculum.

__Overall Reflection__ I have truly enjoyed this course, because of this course I feel more confident using technology in my future classroom. I am now able to see how fun, yet beneficial technology in the classroom can be.
