Class of 10/3

What?
In class we learned more about our Web Quests and were able to work more on them. We began our PowerPoint and typed up part of our layout for our project. We also learned how to link all of our slides, and Jonathan worked on that while Kelly and I did our layout.

So What?
We are learning this in class because it is a further extension of our education in ways that technology can help us in the classroom, and help our students to learn. This is also a great ability to have because it will help when I do presentations. I also learned how to link on our slides, something that I did not know before. This will help my presentations to become more proficient and useful.

Now What?
This is a great way for students to use technology to learn. Not only does it incorporate the internet and different education web sites, but it helps students to learn by using PowerPoint to link them to the internet.

THAT IS SO COOL!!!! I can't believe that kind of technology is available! Just in my lifetime, it's amazing to look back and see the progress we have made! I can't believe it! I'm only 20, and yet when I was born, computers were just transitioning from being the size of an entire room, to being able to own one in your own home! Let alone being on a table! It amazes me! I was really floored when I watched how they downloaded a picture to a phone in 2 seconds and without any downloading to computers or emailing! I couldn't believe it! This will definately change the way a classroom works, probably in the next 20 years. I may have students' desks which are no longer desks! They'll probably be giant computer screens! This could really help children to get a hands on concept of things that they otherwise would not be able to.
