Twitter and Me



Personally, I am not a fan of Twitter. I deleted my personal account months ago, to try and get away from "social media." I just do not have the time to be on the computer or technology in general all of the time. I have a farm and I am working all the time or studying for classes. I thought that this professional account would be different, so I am giving it a chance. I do understand how it can help teaching and communicating, but in  my opinion, I do not like the aspect of this type of social media invovling teaching methods. The way the test was given via Twitter, was alright, but not the way I am used to and will have to get accustomed to it.

The Final Frontier

Technology in the classroom is very important. It benefits students and it gives teachers a new way of teaching. Technology is a good way to use visual learning in the classroom and can be a helpful learning aide to students. In our presentation, we stated how technology can be helpful, hindering teachers, and how technology can change the way the teachers are teaching.
Our group worked very well together. We figured out who was going to do what and we started working on our presentation. We had good communication skills and finsihed our presenation with no problem at all.
Our presentation discusses all of the issues in the article. My part was about how technology may hinder teachers. Teachers may have trouble with technology or have a hard time incorporating technology into their curriculum.
