Day 2: Creating a Website

Tonight in class we learned how to create a website which I thought was pretty interesting. I think it is a great idea to show the work I am doing and have done. It puts a creative aspect on what I have accomplished. At first I was nervous about creating a website because I have never made one, however I thought it was pretty easy going through it step by step. I want to create a bigger website to have a portfolio of everything because I think it is a good tool to use in an interview to show what I have accomplished. It shows the work done in a creative way because you can branch out and put links to anything to show different ideas. I can't wait to expand my website and add on to it more and more!

Smartboard Learning

I heard a lot about this class from other people who took it before and everyone kept saying how great it was because it was really interesting. I would consider myself pretty average with the use of technology, but I always think there's room for more learning because technology is always improving. I'm really interested in learning about the use of the Smartboard because I have tried using one several times, but I find it difficult.  I don't know much about them and the district I live in has them in all of the schools. It would be interesting to try and do a lesson with the help of the Smartboard in order to incorporate the students. In my opinion I think a lot of students learn more when they get to be involved in the learning process. Technology opens a lot of doors with teaching because there are so many opportunities and its always improving every year!
