I feel like I could use data collection in a variety of ways when teaching. Realistically, I would like to get my future students opinions on a good deal of material. I want to see what the students will enjoy learning about in school. I could use a similar survey with parents and truly target a great plan to have a unique classroom.

In reviewing my classmates blog, I found a variety of interesting topics. All of my classmates had an interesting outlook on tools like diigo. Also seeing how my classmates highlighted certain texts within pages was helpful as well. It was also interesting to hear about my classmates interests, such as music and teaching.

I would ideally like to learn next about how to utilize virtual reality in class. The same applies for augmented reality. I feel this way because VR and AR can be very engaging methods to teach students with. As a bit of a millennial, I find it extremely fascinating.

Disclaimer: These photos were posted to the digitech website! I actually ended up accidentally attending because I use the Ihub as a study space and just happened to go in while Digitech was occurring. I was not disappointed and ended up learning a lot about information technology.

A flipped classroom is essentially an unorthodox teaching method that involves learning outside of class. This allows the student to utilize classroom time to have more hands-on approach with the material while in the classroom. Essentially, you are learning the lessons outside of class and using classroom time to collaborate and handle the material with a more dedicated learning environment. A solid example of this is doing homework in class.
Open educational resources are exactly what they sound like. These text based, freely accessible learning materials are very useful in the classroom. These resources can be utilized to gather text-based information to further your education. A solid example of this is jstor.org, which is an open library of journals, primary sources and books. https://www.jstor.org/
Working on my powerpoint assignments taught me a good deal of information. I learned how to hyperlink to other slides by disabling the linear format. I liked being able to learn new information and apply it towards something I had never done before. I disliked having to follow specific guidelines within the powerpoint.

Using Diigo, I have learned many useful skills. I have learned how to highlight and annotate certain texts within articles. I have also learned how to share these within my group and that has helped me utilize these texts and be able to respond to them. I feel like these skills could help me in my future employment endeavors by showing understanding to my coworkers of how exactly we can work together to utilize this tool.

Technology and teacher development through the means of technology is very important. In order to be able to advance in the classroom, teachers must be aware of technological trends and how they work. In order to stay aware of changes, teachers must constantly be looking online towards tools that can help them stay informed. This website that I posted above has 6 useful tools for teachers and is continuously being updated.

I have learned a lot of skills using twitter. I feel like twitter is beneficial and teaches you how to be social in that sort of online environment. The benefits of using twitter are the ability to socialize and have fun while engaging in a unique form of social media. I have not experienced many issues yet.

I have acquired a couple of new schools to create a website. I feel like I have just generally gotten better at web design. It was difficult to navigate the website at times and to correctly organize everything the way in which I wanted to. I feel like this skill can be utilized in my future career when it becomes time to actually make a serious website. I can improve my overall understanding and literacy of website creation.

It is important for technology to be able to adapt with learners who may have certain issues. Many learners are faced with everyday troubles that may put them in socially uncomfortable situations. It may be difficult for some parents and teachers to find the right software for some students. It is important that the teachers and students persevere and find that right tool.

Teacher pages on a school website can be done well but usually seem to be poor. I normally will see the information about the teacher, such as where they grew up and attended school. Teacher pages should be an informative look into the life of the teacher and how they go about teaching. In these websites you can publicly find out about the teachers interests and get a glimpse into the life of who is teaching your children.

Teachers utilize technology in many ways. One of the most important ways is classroom management. Teachers utilize certain apps like focusme or edmodo in order to make sure that there students are working more efficiently and themselves too. Teachers also utilize websites such as facebook pages in order to communicate better with there kids.

I feel that one application that I witnessed in virtual sandbox that could be utilized in the classroom is actually virtual reality. I believe that students must have an outlet to release some steam in terms of just getting out of the classroom. I believe there is no better way to do this than to actually enter a different reality. This can help spark a child's imagination and give them the outlook of that school can be a reward system.
