During this semester I have learned a lot of valuable information in this course. I am a huge fan on technology. I am all for learning new things. In this course I learned how to create a website, create a video and uploaded it onto youtube, and how to change the setting on the computer to accomodate students with disabilities. I enjoyed taking this course and I was excited about learning new things.
When I started high school I took a computer applications class. Since that day I knew I had a passion for technology. When I was taught how to create the concept map, this showed my creativity and my critical thinking skills. The photostory that I created also showed my creativity and my critical thinking skills. I enjoyed learning how to do this assignment. Creating a website was my favorite assignment, I picked out my own design layout and publish information on the page that I wanted people to know about me. This was a wonderful assignment, I think this was my strongest point.
In the future I plan to incorporate the information that I learned in this course into my classroom. I plan on becoming a teacher in the future. I learned how to intergrate technology into my teaching. Thanks to this course I learned how to accomodate my teaching with children with disabilities. I do plan on integrating technology in the classroom by applying all the skills that I have learned in this course.

The concept mapping assignment focus a lot on this standard. We used Inspiration software and created a concept map. We made different shapes and link things together. We took a particular subject or topic and broke it down. This was incorporate learning and creativity using technology. This was a great assignment, I enjoyed doing it.

PHOTOSTORY

This standard touches on designing, developing and evaluate authentic learning through technology. There are various ways you can incorporate technology in your learning. We created a photostory and posted onto YouTube. In our photostory we used digital pictures, and some download pictures from the Internet. But before we used pictures from the Internet we had to make sure it was for the public and not copyrighted. After we saved the pictures that we were going to use, we had to edit them on picnik.com. Then we had to publish our pictures in photostory and we had to add sounds. As we prepared the photostory we had to teach a lesson on whatever our photostory was about. This was a good strategy on teaching a lesson. It was fun and I use different abilities using digital tools and resources.
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers:
| a. | design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity. |
| b. | develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress. |
| c. | customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources. |
| d. | provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching. |

Technology is growing everyday. I learned a a lot of valuable information in this class. Using technology you can collaborate with student, peer, parent, and community using digital tools. Several of our assignments that hit on this standard. When we created a website, the photo story, and our blog. We worked together by viewing each person work and commenting on it. Using this in a classroom a teacher could introduce their self, the parents can be informed about what is going on at the school. The turnitin and online quiz assignment demonstrate technology.

When we did some of our assignments, we used clip arts, sounds, also written information. We had to make sure that the graphics and sounds was public friendly. One assignment we did was the Turnitin assignment, we type a paper and we copy and paste a paper. Then we had to import in into Turnitin.com. Some teachers uses Turnitin to make sure plagiarism is not going on.

This standard I think is saying that you can use technology in your classroom in all type of ways. The Assistive Technology Assignment, we looked up information off of the internet and included in a PowerPoint. In this assignment we learned how to prepare a PowerPoint for the visual impaired and also the hearing impaired. It is the teacher responsibility to make the classroom lesson modify to the students abilities. In the Assistive Technology Assignment, we learned how to turn on the magnifier, the sound device and other features for students that have some type of disability.
Introduction of Blogfolio
In this blog I am creating a Blogfolio. In this blogfolio I will be discussing what I have learned in IT 365 this Spring Semester. I will also be telling how I will take what I learned in this class and how I will be using it in my classroom. There are many things that I did not know about technology, that I know now.
