SEDU 183 Reflection

My two favorite tools we used in class is PowerPoint and Google Docs. The PowerPoint presentations were fun to create. It is a good way to share information and teach without making things boring and dry. A lot of the creator's personality can be expressed in the PowerPoint presentations.

I'll use Google Docs in the classroom for group assignments. Everyone has easy assess to it. Also, it is an easy way for me as a teacher to find out which students put forth the effort in each assignment. I found it a convenient way to work as a group in class. Our schedules were all different. I could collaborate with my group at times that were best for me without inconveniencing any other group members. I am juggling classes and schoolwork, along with being a full time homemaker, wife and mother. As a teacher, it is also nice that I can check in on the progress of my students. I can give my input and help with problems so they don't have to wait until class to ask for help.

There are so many tools I didn't know about or know how to use. I have used PowerPoint before this class. However, I didn't know about many other tools we use in class. It is exciting to learn how to use them. I am looking forward to learning new tools to incorporate into teaching that will help make my classroom a fun and informative environment for learning.
