Thing #17

I previewed The Tech Teachers and The TechPodzone podcasts. I have really become interested in technology from this class. I really love how I can create blogs and subscribe to articles and podcasts in Google Reader. I listened to The Tech Teachers Show and 21st Century Skills-Web 2.0. I want to learn all I can about technology because I have been afraid and clueless. Now I am excited about the prospect of using all I have learned. I think everything I am learning is so cool and innovative. I like the idea of creating and using podcasts. Through this excitement, in a way I wish I was back in the classroom to use all I have learned with students. After this class, I think I would enjoy being a computer or technology teacher. I would definitely use podcasts with students. I think anytime technology is used students would be motivated to learn. They would enjoy recording podcasts commercials, health programs, shows, etc. They could put their podcasts on the school website. No I have never used podcasts with my former students or in my personal/professional life. I am just learning about them. I would definitely use them with students in the classrom to enhance learning and introduce them to the world of technology.
