My Final Blog for Educational Technology

I have learned so many new things in this class. Thank you Rita for your patience and expertise! Technology is a wonderful teaching tool - once you get going.

As we worked through the different programs I was thinking about what would work for me. There are two areas that I decided I would start with. I decided to start with a Glog. As an ESL teacher, I find students want so much to share information about their native country. My plan is to introduce my Glog as a model. and work with my students to help them find information on their country to share in a Glog.

I had trouble getting my Glog on my blog, but I'm still - as Rita says - "playing with it".

The second area that I have decided to work on is Twitter. I have established a Twitter account. I'm new at Twitter and I need to make time to check this and learn how to utilize this tool. This will be an excellent way to communicate with other educators.

I've checked Slide Share and I am amazed at the number of powerpoints available. That looks like another tool I will be "playing with".
