This week we finished up our digital stories and started writing our technology lesson plans. The two technologies I chose to use in my classroom are pod casts and google sites. The reason why I chose to use these two technologies are because I want to have an easy way, educational and fun way to relay information. I feel that the students would benefit from using the information they learn in using these technologies.
In preparing my lesson plans I had to do a lot of thinking to figure out just what I wanted the students to do, achieve and learn from using these technologies. It was more of an informative lesson for myself while writing these lesson plans. It was much harder than I had anticipated. I feel that once I have finished my lesson plans they will be pretty good and I will want to take them into my classroom. I hope the school I am teaching in will have the ability to allow me to incorporate these technologies in my classroom.
Once I have my lesson plans written I hope to put them into use in my classroom. I will have my students listen to a podcast by me once a week and require them to complete their assignments by pod casting me back. I will also have my student get onto my google site to check for upcoming events in our classroom and also teach them ways to create their own google site to display their different achievements and artwork they have turned into our class. I think this will be a fun way to allow them to be more technology aware and learn dynamics of communication and social networking.
