Tool #11 Reflections

1. I think my favorite tools are the image generators and mash ups. I had a lot of fun looking through all of the options available for making creative projects with pictures. I could see myself using this in my Geometry class by having my students create different pictures that explore the types of transformations we discuss in class. I also enjoyed the digital storytelling. Imovie and photo stories can make any project more interesting!

2. I'm excited about the opportunity we will have in class this year to use netbooks in the classroom. I think this will allow me to incorporate technology quite a bit more than I have in the past. The students are so gifted at using technology, and I know it will keep their interest if it is used more. At this point, I'm not 100% sure how I will implement all of these tools, but I'm excited to have all the options.

3. I wouldn't say I was surprised by anything in this program. I enjoyed looking at all the different applications out there that are available to educators. I knew there were a lot, but had never really taken the time to explore them in depth. Completing this program allowed me the opportunity to see what is out there and look at ways to incorporate them into my classroom.
