Short week- Powerpoint slides

I was only in class one day this week for the Monday class, and missed the presentation given for the Wednesday class. I really enjoyed creating the 6 slide power point of one word per slide to describe our experience. I had chosen to upload photos of gifts my kids had made me on my last day!

Presentation ICT Continuum

I think that the presentation was well done and that the continuum is a step in the right direction for education. I believe that having a continuum to have points to aim for rather than a beginning and a end will benefit students in the long run! The continuum allows teachers to aim for targets to touch base on and strive towards in order to get success.

Technology in the classroom

During my student teaching placement technology was very limited. The internet where I was placed hardly ever worked and they were having constant problems. The projector in my classroom was available but was not used very often. One of the classes that we had for phys. ed was zumba. This was quite enjoyable for the students as they enjoyed it so much they wanted to do it over recess. Incorporating technology into the classroom is easy and great when it is working, but it is common that it will not be working often too.  I really enjoyed my student placement and being able to get out into the field and work with the children. I had seen growth among the students I was working with and it was hard to leave the classroom to come back to be a student again. I really have enjoyed my expierence in my first placement and look forward to getting back out into the field to do what I love!
