Technology is a Teacher's Best Friend

I love the idea of using the different kinds of technology in your classroom. For example, the digital scavenger hunt is a great way to get students active in the class and still relate it to the material at hand. I enjoyed being able to have a little bit of freedom and creativity with a project. I love how we were trusted to go about campus and retrieve pictures without supervision. I really like the animoto videos. They allow students to create a short videos of random pictures, no matter if they are personal photos or related to a subject or project for school. Inspiration 8 and 9 are excellent ways to create maps and diagrams for students. These maps, which can also be put in outline form, allow students to be creative and make their own connections with information. I cannot wait to use different resources in my own classroom.
