Welcome!
Good evening, I am new to blogging, but I feel like I will enjoy this experience. I have created this blog for TPTE 486, a class about integrating technology into the classroom. I am a future teacher and I think that in this day and age (that makes me sound older than I am) that we need to utilize all the resources, technical resources included, we can in the classroom. I am not exactly "tech savvy" but I'm not "technologically disadvantaged" either. Therefore, my goals of this class are to improve upon what technical skills I do have, learn about interesting and useful tools for the classroom, and become comfortable with running a classroom website. I am sure that my goals will grow as I learn throughout the class. I am strong at quickly picking up tech skills, when I am prompted to do something on the computer I can usually figure out how to complete it rather rapidly. Although I am weak in using MAC software and knowing the nitty gritty details of how technology works. I am looking forward to learning a lot by the end of the term. Thanks for reading!

This looks and sounds so professional.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty new at blogging too, unless you count that myspace page I had back in the olden days. But after today's class I feel pretty good about this blogging experience. I feel that with this opportunity, we can demonstrate our "savvy" internet skills and relate to students. I pretty much feel the same way about most of the things you mentioned. I just recently got comfortable with a Mac, but I'm sure that after this class you will feel pretty confident!
ReplyDeleteHi, Chloe, your goals are quite reasonable for this course. It really doesn't matter which tools we use, so long as you become comfortable with trying new things. You will create a classroom website using GoogleSites, but your first school assignment may have a different web publishing tool for you to use. Nonetheless, the more you practice and get hands-on with the tools, the more confident you will become when asked to try the next new thing to come down the pike. (And there will always be a new thing coming down the pike in education!)
