Reflection

**//__An Annotated Resource__// Set is like a lesson plan, but more interactive! This assignment is all about teaching with primary sources. Unlike a regular lesson plan, I can utalize many more resources (the Library of Congress) for example. The ARS is set up like a grid, or a calendar. You can add pictures, videos, and text into it. When I become a teacher, I plan to use this in a variety of ways when creating units. I will will pick a topic, and then create an ARS that pertains to it. The studetns will access the ARS and follow the directions provided. I love the ARS and I look forward to bringing it into my classroom!**

**The //__Digital Story Telling__// activity is a fun and exciting ways to get kids invloved in the classroom! The Digital Story Teller is a moive that, or my students can create to learn/present a topic of interest. Although there are many movie making softwares out there on the market though, I was VERY pleased with this one because of its simplicty. I am no computer wiz, and I thought that this was very easy to do. The step by step instructional process enables even the least computer sazy people to get involve and learn a lot on the way. I will use this in my classroom to teach to my students, as well as have them create videos for projects and such.**

** //__A podcas__//t is a sound recording device that allows individuals to record themselves. Although I personally will never make one of these again (I do not like to hear myself talk), I think that my future students would love to dive into an activity such as this. Instead assining my students a paper and nothing else, I might have them write a paper and then present it using a podcast. This makes the assignment more applealing for the students and is likely to get them excited about the activity. **

**//__The Smart Notebook__// is by far my favorite new learning activity thus far. Unlike the old overhead projector, you can write on a Smart Board, type on it, and do so much more. I KNOW, that my students wil love participating and getting involved. With the Smart Board Notebook (on the computer) students can immitate what they see the teacher doing in class everyday. This computer software enables you to upload photographs, and essentially make a powerpoint, but cooler! I will incorporate the Smart Notebook into as many lessons as I can. Once the studetns get the hang of it, I am certain that they will not get enough of this hands on program.**


 * __Visual Literacy__ is best described as the way that we sell our product to those viewing the "art." Some ways are better than others when putting something together, therefore, we use the PAT model to ensure that we are following the appropriate steps. I think that visual literacy is very important to understand and I enjoyed it a lot. I plan on using this in the classroom to demonstrate history through visual literacy. **

__//Technology integration//__ is the means of integrating technology into the classroom. This can be done by using video games, ect. I think that this is great and plan on using this in my classroom on a daily basis in several ways, such as having the kids create their own film. With technology integration, the sky is the limit.

= WEB 2.0. i s a new and exciting digitalized resource that allows us to better communicate our ideas with one another. It not only allows is to read and write, but also provides us countless opportunities to collaborate and share our ideas in creative and innovative ways. I really enjoy WEB 2.0 and plan on using it in the = = classroom as a means to incorporate more technology into the = = lesson by using 3D, FACEBOOK,and YOU TUBE. =

=== ** The webquest, is an interactive website designed to facilitate student learning. By creating websites, students will be able to explore a particular subject matter in depth. Rather than just handing my students an assignment, they have the option to explore it on the WEB QUEST that I will create for them. I love the WEBQUEST and believe that this will be a regular part of my curriculum. ** ===
