End-of-Term Reflection

1. Have you opinions about technology integration in education changed since the beginning of the term? Why or why not?

My opinions about using technology integration in the classroom has not changed. I have been a strong believer in the need for more technology in the classroom. If anything I think this term has given me more ideas how to use technology in the classroom, in a safe and ethical way.  


2. Identify one or more programs/web apps introduced this term you believe you'll use in your future classroom. Why will you use these programs/apps?

I love Prezi. I think it is my favorite software that I'm already using in other classes.  Its easy to use and adds a much more professional look to slideshows. After 12 years in business, I think that I've seen every powerpoint template about a thousand times. However Prezi adds a new look and was very easy to learn. I think adding a little bit of movement to a presentation also really helps keeping the concentration of the students and gets them to focus on the slide when it switches over.
