Digital Portfolio's

I really liked doing the digital portfolio project to sum up our time in EDU 350. We had previous knowledge of putting a website together through our teacher websites so that made the project a little easier to grasp and allowed us to continue to familiarize ourselves with building websites. It was nice to compile everything that we have done and for me, I realized how much I did not know about using technology in the classroom (or in general) and how I am going to use it in the future!

Smartboard

I really enjoyed learning about Smartboard. I've only seen it used in a few classes and haven't actually used it myself in a methods course. I think it is a great tool to use in the classroom and allows interaction in your lessons. It can be used in almost every subject area and seems to be filled with a lot of great templates, photo's, etc. I definitely could see a lot of items utilized for review games. It's also great that the software is free for download, especially when student teaching and your school district has a Smartboard in your classroom. Hopefully, I'll be lucky enough to have one in my classroom!
