Week 12 blog post! So crazy that the semester is quickly ending. This week wraps it up with the topic of technology. This video shows how technology could play a big role in the classrooms. Early childhood education is the most important and incorporating technology will help students later on in the real world and future careers. Technology can help me become a more productive teacher because it allows me to multi task and be able to do things for my students. I can get immediate feedback and also get involved with parents and other educators very easily. It can help me solve problems by giving me the options to have everything organized my way. I will know where all of my information is when it is needed and technology allows you to be able to be connected with the entire world. It benefits both parents, teachers and even students by allowing a better way of education.
I have never really explored the internet or used many tools to help me out with projects. PowerPoint and Word were about the farthest I went. This class has really helped me out in showing me the different types of tools and technology that I can use in my classroom. I really like Google tools just because of how simple they are to use. I will be teaching young children so getting them to be able to use the tools is important. Using those tools to get the children involved is good since they do not have to be face to face. They can communicate and share all online.
The most striking thing that I had taken away from Jake's presentation was I liked how the whole thing was about problems and solutions. I learned that technology can be the solution to many problems and can be such a helpful aid when being used in the classroom.
For this weeks major project progress blog, I wanted to create a treat all from my cupboards! I have learned throughout this process that baking can be anything! It does not always have to come from the store in a nice little package, but from your own home with an imagination. I love breakfast food and when I saw we had pancakes, I knew I wanted to use them. Whats the best thing to mix with pancakes? Chocolate chips of course. And of course I had to add some color in there, so rainbow sprinkles it was! Putting them on the pan was a little difficult for me. I made them a little thicker than I wanted to, so the inside took a little while to cook causing the outside to be a little dark. However, they are not burned enough to toss, which is a success in my book!
My sister and dad both were the first ones to try my homemade treat. They both said that they were delicious and needed a big glass of milk afterwards. The cookie pancakes can be a nice grab and go breakfast or they can be the dessert needed after dinner. I am loving having so many treats in my house and glad I am continually learning how to bake!
