https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48 An overview of what I have taken away from this course! en-us 2018-03-05 20:36:57 UTC 2018-03-09 20:21:57 UTC hello@padlet.com Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238351379 I really liked playing with Kahoot; I plan to use it in my final placement in band. I plan to use this as a form of assessment for learning--nothing too serious until I have tried it out. The though part of using Kahoot is whether or not all students have access to technology (ie. cellphones). ]]> 2018-03-05 20:48:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238351379 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238353564 We never looked at this directly in class but a classmate mentioned it to me and I also saw it on the list of programs, apps, and websites. I looked into the program and I am in love! One of the biggest issues in music education is that students do not know how to practice, so they don't! This program really helps eliminate that issue because it gives students all the tools they need to practice properly. I can't wait to try this out and see how it goes!]]> 2018-03-05 20:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238353564 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238355943 One of the groups that presented this semester showed us how to use Quizlet. I have seen this site before to access flash card answers, but I never thought of using as a teacher. I think this would be a great place for students to go and study for tests etc. I will have to look more into how I could use this for music though--I wonder if it would work for music theory?]]> 2018-03-05 20:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238355943 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238356053 2018-03-05 20:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238356053 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238357621 I used Wix to create my eportfolio. Wix is extremely easy to use and looks very professional. Wix offers a lot of free templates where you can just drag and drop different things like text, boxes, apps, videos and more. I really liked how simple it was to create a nice looking portfolio and how I could customize everything to suit my needs. ]]> 2018-03-05 21:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238357621 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238357811 I played around with Weebly for the 'create a website' tech task in class. Though this site was fairly easy to use I found that it took a really long time to figure out how to do certain things. So, unless you plan to follow a template that has already been created then I may become a bit frustrating to work with. ]]> 2018-03-05 21:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238357811 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238361991 Being introduced to the app 'pocket' really helped me as a teacher. I wish I could have found out about this app before my final year because I often times felt frustrated at the fact that I couldn't keep track of the websites I was accessing and wanted to possibly re visit in the future. This app would really help in the future for when I find documents, sites, apps, articles etc that I want to use in the classroom and access at a later date!]]> 2018-03-05 21:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238361991 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238364422 I am so happy that I had to tae this course! My husband is a computer programmer so technology is huge in my household. I really learned about how diverse and extensive technology can be within the classroom. Our world is growing rapidly with technology, so it is great to take the time and explore the many sites and programs out there that can be used in the classroom. 
Overall, I have gained a new appreciation for the internet, cellphones, social media, and computers in the classroom. I can't wait to try some of the new things I have learned about in my placement and in future teaching positions. ]]> 2018-03-05 21:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238364422 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238364685 Through this course I have realized that digital citizenship is something that is absolutely essential to being taught when using technology in the classroom. 
In the music classroom you cannot get around technology and with the growing access to cell phones and recording devices it is important to consider the ethics of recording in the music classroom. I know a lot of teachers that use recording software to inform their students learning and this course has allowed me to really take into account how important it is to teach and model proper digital citizenship in the classroom when using such technology. ]]> 2018-03-05 21:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238364685 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238752489 I spent a couple days playing around with Powtoon as a requirement for a tech task. I ended up following a pre designed template and editing it. All in all I think it is a fun way to show learning. I think I would show my students the video I made and then maybe show them how to use it and have them create their own little fact based videos on something as a project. ]]> 2018-03-06 17:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/238752489 Goring https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/240355415 Another program that a group introduced to the class for the project. I am extremely interested in using this. I would likely wait until I have my own classroom to try this out only because I think as. student teacher I should follow the management plan of my cooperating teacher. ]]> 2018-03-09 20:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Goring/oa7c3us6af48/wish/240355415
