week 15

After reading the lecture and going to the web sites i have learned a few things. The inpiration web site seems pretty cool, just another tool that i think will come in handy as a teacher. After reading your lecture i understand more why you taught us the way u taught us. Instead of test and quizes you substituted them with the computer related activites that helped us learn more about how to integrate technology in the classroom, and i personally like that more and think i learned alot this way.
Throughout this semester and class i have learned alot. I always used the computer but i never knew there were all these ways of integrating technology into the classroom. After using all of the web 2.0's that we have used and learned about i believe that this will help me with teaching and give me many more resources to use in my classroom.

Hi my name is Jonathan Marc Rea. Born and raised in Paris, Texas. I have 2 full brothers and 2 half brothers. I grown up with my 2 full brother's all my life and my 2 half brothers lived with me for a short time when i was younger, they both live in California now. All my life i have played baseball. Ever since i can remember that has been my favorite thing to do. I played 3 years of college ball and Texas A&M Commerce is where i am at now. I love all sports and i love to work out and stay active. I plan on becoming a teacher and coaching Baseball and Basketball one day very soon.
Technology is definitely huge in the classroom today. Technology makes everything easier when it comes to studying, or just typing a paper for what ever class it might be. Without the technology we have today we would have it much harder, we would have to learn things the way they did back in the old days, more library time. Computers are not the only thing that are great in the classroom, now days there are anything from a DVD player to a projection monitor in the classroom, all which are great for different ways of learning. Technology is great.
My goals in this class are to do the best i can possibly do and not procrastinate like i have in the past. I hope to learn more about today's technology's in the classroom and what technology has to offer for when i have my own classroom.
