Instructional Technology
My finial project, seen as the last tab on my portfolio page, was the major project completed in my technology in the classroom class. Details about the project can be found under the tab when you click it but what it had me understand is that there are numerous amounts of technology out in the world to help teachers educate their students. The Socrative technology explained in my project gives students and interactive way to take quizzes or answer questions. Every student can participate and no student has to be shy about answering or concerned about others seeing their answers. Not only does this help the students but it has the stats and outcomes that the teacher can view, so that they can see if anyone missed the question or if everyone understands and they can move on. What this project also showed me is that technology can be used as a great way to perform formative assessment. Many of the technology tools out there are there to help the teacher see the statistics of the students. Also, The internet is a great way for teachers to share good ideas. Many of these technology tools can be found there but you can find many teacher blogs as well. Blogs have ideas and personal accounts of actual classrooms from actual teachers, these ideas can be borrowed and used in your own classroom.
