Week 13 blog

Hey every one, sorry I'm a little late on posting this. I have been out of town for over a week and there is no Internet where i was. Nick and I have created a biology lesson plan that will cover the cell and what it contains. I think this will be a good lesson because i like science and my partners majoring in it. I would like to teach science, however all the lesson plans I have done are for physical education. So this will be a fun and new lesson for me. There has not been any problems i can think. We were able to put it together pretty fast since we Knew the subject so well and are already familiar with making lesson plans. We are ready to teach are lesson to the class at any time. We actually finished it well before the break.

I really liked this class more than i thought i would. I am not the most tech savvy person and I get frustrated with computer classes that move to fast. How ever I think you did a good job of making sure that every one was staying along with you. I think this class really helped me in respect to what i can do with technology in a classroom or even school related stuff out side of school. I don't know if there is anything that I would do differently. I liked the class the way it was because I was able to follow easily and to me that's a plus when dealing with computer classes. I think that I learned several ways to use technology and how I can uses it to my benefit in teaching classes and that it can be good for the student as well. Even more so now that this generation has grown up not knowing what it was like before every one had a computer or even a cell phone. I need to at least know enough to keep up with my students. I have learned several things like blogging and power points and how to utilize the web and its resources in a class. There are several things that learned that I don't think i will ever use, but that's just cause I think that there are better way of accomplishing what I need to do or simply I think the students would would not want to use. I defiantly think that teachers should and have to know have to use at least the most commonly used technologies. Technology's are not only used in the classroom but also outside the classroom in the school setting. You also use technology when dealing with all aspects of your job, like a grade book or a budget for your department. If you are a teacher and you are not or can not utilize today's technologies then you are not striving for the best that you can offer your students.
