Week 10

I have learned so much this term about all kinds of technologies. I have learned that every technology has its positives and negatives. Technology is a part of the world and a part of my student's worlds. I want to bring it into my classroom as much as it is helpful.

Web design

Dreamweaver is a good program to use if there is something specific you want to design your website to look like and to have full control over everything. However, it is a lot ore dificult and time consuming to use. After getting used to the program i don't find it as difficult to use as i had originally thought. The program is rather expensive and i don't think that i could use it in my classroom unless my school already had it.

iPad

Going into the app store there are a lot of apps that can be used educationally some free some not. If my school were to have ipads or ipods for all my students i can see some real potential for learning through these deices, however, i can also see a lot of trouble makers taking advantage of the device.
