Technolgoy - Don't be scared!

Thanks to my EDM 310, I am more prepared than ever for bringing new technology into my classroom. Before this semester I would have never thought I would use much of the new technology with small children, but I have learned ways to use it all!I most recently learned hot to Skype, and now I am always trying to find a new friend who has it so we can chat.Learning how to blog has probably been the most beneficial aspect of this class for me.This is definitely a tool that I will want to use to correspond with my students and their parents. I will be able to basically have our class calendar on a blog to update constantly for my parents.Each person in our class made a slide show in Google Docs about his or her self and that was a really neat project. This would be a fun way to maybe teach a lesson. I can also blog about special events and others in the school can get on my classes blog to see our news.I used Facebook prior to this class but I never,ever thought about using it for the classroom, but how wonderful it will be! I have been truly amazed at how much I will be using what I have learned in my classroom.
