Class Reflection.

I enjoyed this class, and I have learned many new things about the uses in technology. I find that this class is important for future teachers and educators. I had my doubts about this class when I heard it was a computer course, because I knew there were many different tools and programs that I was unaware of. I enjoyed ever assignment in this course, and feel that I am more fluent with using technology.I am excited to be able to take all this information and knowledge I have gained in this class and apply it for when I become a teacher. I tend to never want to  lose interest in technology, and plan to use it to the best of my knowledge when I become a teacher for my students. I find that students love using computers if they understand exactly how to do so. I will implement the use of technology in all kinds of different ways for my students to use in the classroom, and at home. I think the students will be surprised at all the fun that can be learned by using technology. I will incorporate technology into my classroom as frequently as I can. I believe the more technology my students are familiar with can  help them improve their education. I am excited to be able to teach lessons, while using a PowerPoint, or creating different quizzes for them to do. I will incorporate technology as much as I can for both the students and my self to benefit from in the classrooms. The more I work with familiarizing myself with today's technology the better prepared I will be to use it, and teach with it during my career.       

Turnitin!


This assignment was the most difficult to me. I had a hard time trying to put the information into my own words so my work would be original. Using Turnitin is an effective way to make sure the students are not plagiarizing, and that everything that is written is not someone's work and  trying to receive credit for.  I think that having this ability to check credibility, and ownership is a genus system to have. If many students are familiar with this  program and understand how to use it, then they can benefit tremendously by using it. A student might be questionable and like to know the percent of originality of his or her work, and that is one advantage when using this program.  I will definitely be using this for myself in the future,and I am grateful to know that these is technology out there like this. The NETS-T that are used are listed. 2.(a)(b), 4.(a)(d), this technology can be used a meet the NETS-T standards.
