What specific technologies did you learn about this semester that you think would be valuable to teach in your future classroom? why will this technology be valuable?
I learned how to a smartboard more efficently. It caused me to think different on how to use a smartboard for better lesson plans if I work in a school system. I also finally know how to use excel, I never knew how to use it before, and now that I know how. I'm sure I will use it in the later future. Also a new thing coming into ETPT was learning how to use a blog, before this class I never knew how to use one, let alone, I didnt even know what a blog is. And know that I what one is, I hope to keep using it in the near future. Also with powerpoint, I always knew how to use it, however, after this class, I am more efficent with the program and have a better use of it, in a more timely fashion. I hope to relay this information to other people soon!
