Welcome to ED270, Technology in Education. My name is Christina Sekafetz, and I am a freshman at Western Oregon University. Throughout this course, we will be learning about different aspects of technology and how to use it in the classroom. To start off, we were asked to introduce our neighbors. Alyssa was mine, and she wants to be a kindergarten teacher. Her experience with technology is a lot like mine, as we both have grown up in the technological age.
Technology is a useful tool as well as a large part of our lives. It has evolved in its 70+ years of existence from having to code in order to use the computer to being able to get onto the internet at any point in time within seconds. We subscribe to RSS systems to receive newsletters in our emails, contribute to wikkis for accurate information, and have an over abundance of social media. This is the Web 2.0, and it can be a useful tool in the classroom.
Today, we learned how to create jigsaw puzzles online, as well as how to make them for free. We also created a few accounts that will be needed for later use, including a flickr account. Lastly, we made a BLOG! This class is going to be so much fun!
