Over the course of the semester I have learned a great deal about educational technology and all the resources that are available for teachers and educators. I had a chance to learn about Microsoft and the applications that are offered within the software. I took an in-depth look at Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. All of these applications are teacher friendly and help teachers to enhance their lessons. I also learned about Smart board technology and iPads for students and teachers. One of the most beneficial topics that I learned about was the online classroom tools and applications. There are so many resources available for teachers and I got to explore and use many of them. This semester was a great learning opportunity for me and I am excited to use all of my new knowledge and skills in my own classroom. Educational technology helps to engage students and enhance the learning environment. I am grateful that I have the opportunity to be apart of the Educational Technology Specialist program and look forward to everything else I will be learning.
To end the semester I created a non-linear PowerPoint presentation. This presentation is about different Habitats that exist around the world. My PowerPoint gives the students a chance to learn specifically about four habitats. These habitats are grasslands, arctic, ocean, and rainforest. The students will learn about the climate, plants, and animals that exist in each of these habitats. The PowerPoint is non-linear because the students can choose which habitat to learn about and explore first. Then the students can go back to the main page and choose another habitat. I feel I have learned a lot about PowerPoint and hyperlinking within the PowerPoint. I am pleased with all that I have learned in this class and will continue to try new lessons with my new knowledge of educational technology.
