Online week

Lesson Plan:
I think that Justin and I created a great lesson despite us having totally different majors. With the two of us having different majors was the only thing that created a problem when we first started and was pretty much the only problem we had. I think that it will be a fun lesson to teach and I am ready to teach it because I think that everyone in the class will have fun with it.

Class:
I think that this class has gone very smoothly and I think it was very organized. The organization of the class played a key role into what we were able to get done and learn in the class. I don't think anything could have been done differently. I learned a lot of new things with technology that one day I hope to integrate into my classroom to make my students successful. I do believe it is a must that technology be used in the classroom by teachers because it makes it a better learning environment for the students. All in all I think this was a wonderful class to be a part of because not only did I learn a lot of new things but I also met a lot new people.

Week 12 Voicethread

This is a great tool that would be helpful for both teachers and students in many different subject areas. Students would be able to hear and see what the teacher is talking about. The students would be able to share their ideas while listening and watching which makes this tool so good. I don't think I would use it in my lesson because I'm not very familiar with it enough but it does seem like it would be a great tool to use. I also think I would only use it in my classroom for certain classes. As an Ag teacher, tools like these are hard to integrate into the lesson but could possibly be done.
