Technology has taken over our society in more ways then imaginable. We are entirely dependent on the resources that is has. Technology isn’t the easiest to learn, but it also isn’t the hardest thing to learn. With a little bit of exploration and time you will learn just how much technology has to offer. I have learned a lot this week exploring different search engines, and sites trying to find resources pertaining to my unit plan.
My unit plan is based on social behavior, and I have found a lot of great sites and information. You can look at my Works Cited to see some of the resource that I have found. The resources that I have cited also lead into more extensive sites, so your search will be never ending. Trying to search on the internet can sometimes be difficult, but I have learned some new tools this week to make it easier. RSS is a great tool to use if you live a busy life. If you subscribe through Google it will search for you and keep you updated on certain things you are interested in. Tagging is also a great way to keep track of your favorite sites, and be able to bookmark them, so you can always go back to them. It will save you some time, and should always be able available to you. Social media is also great tool to use because it allows you to get information from other people, and even leave feedback, or have a video of your own. These tools are great for searching on the computer. These tools will be greatly needed in the classroom, and would take teaching to the next level. Students could use kid friendly search engines to get valuable information on a research paper, or learn how to use the computer more effectively. Teachers can use these sites to find new innovative lesson plans, and learn new tools to show to the students. Class projects can be done using the computer, which would only allow children to learn more valuable information through socializing and collaborating with different classrooms.
