Technology can be a very useful resource in classsroom, but it also helps you as a teacher with your professional responsibilities. I think that I will use DIIGO to help me organize important information that I find online in a logical way that could be beneficial for lesson plans or classroom management. I think I will also use spreadsheets to help organize student information and grades. I may also use a program like Evernote to record lesson plans but also provide notes and feedback to myself on those plans and allow those to be saved digitally which can prevent loss.
In the tech sandbox, the object that I think I would use most in my classroom would be the 3D printer. I had the opportunity to use one during my academic art career and this is an experience I really want to bring to my students. It felt so high tech and creative at the same time! I think this would be a great way to bring technology into a traditional art classroom. I would have them use a program like sketch up to design their projects and then convert file to the printer software.
It would be fantastic to have the opportunity to use a 3D printer to further a students art career. They would be able to learn a lot about technology as a whole while simultaneously furthering their love for the arts.
ReplyDeleteDid you get to use the 3D pen in high school?? So cool. I want one of my own! Great post. I enjoyed visiting the tech sandbox too, field trips and hands-on activities are the best way to learn, in my opinion!
