Final Reflection

I went into this class hoping to learn some simple technology to enhance high school math lessons for all types of learners. In the first half of the class, I learned more about Google Sites, PbWorks, Google Presentation, Google Drive, Blogger, and Dropbox. However, I already use Dropbox, Google Drive, Blogger, and Google Presentation prior to taking this class. In the second half, I learned for the first time how to use ActivInspire, Inspiration 9, and iMovie.

Four of my favorite tools that I learned in this class include ActivInspire, Inspiration 9, iMovie, and Google Sites! ActivInspire can create interactive exercises for students who like to be hands-on (especially good for kinesthetic learners). Inspiration creates concept maps for visual learners. iMovie creates videos that can capture students' interests and teach concepts in an engaging way. Google Sites creates neat websites that contain useful resources and information about classes (also a great way to communicate and organize information to students and parents!). I will definitely use these four tools in my future classroom (probably also Blogger, Google Presentation, and Google Drive)!
