THIS WEEK IN TECHNOLOGY CLASS!

This week in technology boy did I learn alot! I got a chance to work with the UEN website, and I learned a lot about this website. We had a chance to do a scavenger hunt with this website. Here I leanrned how to upload videos, documents. and pictures. This was so great to learn for one day when I have my own classroom. This will be a great tool for me to use, in uploading videos I would like my children to watch. to help them better understand what we are learning in class right now. For example if we are learning about counting money, I could upload a video onto UEN and have them watch it to better understand the concept. I also can tell the children about myself and post pictures of myself so that they can learn more about me. UEN was a little hard to understand at first but after I go use to it then it was pretty simple, which is a good thing becasue teachers don't have a lot of time to sit and try to figure out computer systems. They need to be fast and easy, and UEN was both of these. UEN was a great thing to learn, and I am so glad that I got the chance to learn it.
I also had the chance to learn about internet safety for children. This is so important to learn becasue we need to be making sure that our children are safe on the internet in our classroom and at home. If teachers take the time to teach children about safety on the internet, then we can help them to be safe. I found lots of great websites to use for internet safety for example http://home.disney.go.com/guestservices/safety, was a great website for children to use that had lots of fun games to play. I also found many other great websites that I can use in my classroom when I have one. They had great games for children to play to learn the tips they need to know. I also got to make an activity I found websites to have the children look at, then I was going to have them make up skits using the safety tips. One day I hope to do this activity in my classroom.
I learned alot in technology this week, that will benefit when I am a teacher, I am excited to learn more next week!
