Technology Innovations

I really enjoyed everyones presentation on Thursday. I gained a lot of experience on how to use different ways to get my students excited about their education. Sometimes the few things we learn how to do we can beat it too death. We get bored, and the students get bored. I know when I learned how to use Powerpoint I have constantly used it over and over again and I just think we all need to be freshened up every now and then. I enjoyed doing and learning about different ways to present the material that needs to be presented whether it be my kindergarten class or the faculty as a whole. I believe whatever you use you need to keep your audience focused and excited about the material being presented. That is why I would like to start using Prezi and Edmodo more. The Prezi I would use more in my classroom setting because kindergartners always like movement. They, I feel would be intrigued how different the movements are compared to what they are used to seeing. The Edmodo I would use more if I ever went back to teaching higher grades. I know the students are always on a computer whether it be their phone or an actual desk or laptop. They can still commuicate through messaging and when they come to a roadblock with an assignment I don't feel they would feel threatened to approach the teacher at anytime using this device.
