Week 13

This was our last week in the school. I noticed that a lot of technology was available but not being used. It was a little disappointing. The kids all loved it when the technology was used and they would be intrigued with the lesson. I think technology should be used daily and should be used well.

The students in my class were all very proficient in using technology and I think it is sad to deprive them of not being able to use it.

Week 12

We taught our technology rich lesson this week for field. We had a WebQuest all ready to give them and we were ready to go. When we got down to the computer lab we found out that google sites is blocked from their computers. We had to think fast so we went back to the classroom used a laptop and did the WebQuest as a class. It wasn't as effective as a class but it still worked. This taught us a lot. Things will not always work as you expect them to and you need to come up with an alternative plan quickly. Everything ran smoothly for us because we acted quickly and came up with a plan. It worked out fine and the students got the lesson they needed to.
