Teacher's Technology Use in the Classroom

Howdy everybody... It's coming down to the wire in the semester and while I am excited to embrace the next chapter in my life it is pretty stressful closing out this one right now... However, some cool new experiences have been happening in these last few classes of EDT 400 including a young teacher who came in and spoke about her use of technology in kindegarten and first grade classrooms... It was a really interesting presentation, she has incorporated all kinds of technology resources and programs in hopes of providing her students a more interactive way of learning and a more in depth way of sharing with their families what they have been doing in school... She uses Moodle, a blog, and podcasts to keep a record of her students progression in the classroom and then posts the results of their work to the class blog... What she has created and established in her classroom is truly amazing, however it is a little overwhelming to see what she has done... It makes me feel a little insecure about my own ability to do something like that for my classrooms, but hopefully with the new skills and information I am learning from classes like this and hearing from teachers like the one that spoke, I will begin to have more ideas of what I can do for young children and how to do it... That's it for now, until next time... :)
