 In class today the first chapter group presented. I thought it was helpful that we discussed the positives and things we should change after the presentation. I feel like I understand more about what is expected of us in regards to this presentation. I am concerned about my "ums" and "likes" because I do tend to get nervous when presenting in front of large groups of peers. I will also try not to rush and focus on using wait time even if it does feel a little awkward. For the upcoming week we need to develop a question we are interested in researching for the technology wiki assignment focusing on a tool or a population, or both. I think it will be interesting to look at the autistic population finding technology that will help them learn. I know many autistic children and using those relationships when thinking about this assignment will hopefully help me come up with creative ideas. All of the tips when using the Smart Board are greatly appreciated by me because of presentation required in Education 381. I thought the Smart Exchange website was fantastic and would be something that students would be able to get involved in. There was a fun way to take attendance using balloons so when students came to class they could touch and pop their balloon. I am anticipating using the Smart Board more in class especially because it may be something I will us daily in my classroom.
