1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox?
I enjoyed the the image generators, the use of Jing (video storytelling), and the mobile apps.
Briefly describe a particular activity that you will plan for your students using at least one of these new tools.
I'd like for them to use the digital cameras to use their pictures to create a video storytelling. For example, the students would create an experiment where they showed how they controlled the variables. They would then voice over the parts to share with other students how they did it. I believe the students would eat it up because they'd like to learn from other students. In addition, teachers will see how well students are learning the content.
2. How have you transfomed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom?
Our students are entering a fascinating world involving technology. At the ExxonMobile Conference I attended this summer, technolgy is allowing the world to become flat. That is, we can conference, research and talk to people on the other side of world with ease.
In addition, the tools, i.e. Jing, Google Docs/reader, allow for easier conferencing on topics.
3. Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
What surprised me is the amount of "new" technology on the Internet.
