Reflection: As a teacher in North Carolina it will be my responsibility to teach students about technology, not only what it does but how to use it correctly.  The students will be called upon to use technology in all aspects of their lives.  More and more people are using computers in their everyday lives and there are web sites and programs that are targeted at children as young as 2 or 3.  It is my responsibility to teach students the correct way to use technology, so I need to be proficient in all aspects of technology. Using technology as a part of our day will also make lessons more interesting for not only my students but also myself.  It will also teach the students that technology is something that is easy for all of us to access and use.
 

11.1 List/Use technology resources to facilitate curriculum delivery where applicable and appropriate.

Evidence / Artifact:

• I try to use the overhead as little as possible.  I do use the overhead when I am demonstrating a concept to the class or when we are going over the class work or homework. I plan on using the overhead when needed, but I would like to be able to face the class and walk around the room without having to rely on an overhead that is stuck in one place.
• I have used Power Point to go over graphing lessons and vocabulary lessons. I am also going to be using Power Point to allow students to do the vocabulary for the soil unit that we will be doing soon.  The students will be responsible for one word each and will be working in pairs to make a slide for each of their vocabulary words and the definitions.  When the students are finished I will combine all of their slides into a presentation and use that during the unit to go over vocabulary.
  
• Televisions and VCR's will be used to show videos that will enhance the student's learning. The videos will also provide information that the students will be responsible for.
  
• Another way I plan on using technology is to have the students research soil in the computer lab and have the students discuss what they have found on the web site that I have developed  (http://paws.wcu.edu/tc19434/soil.html).
  

Reflection: I have learned from my students, so far, that they love using the computers and being able to see technology in action. I hope that by using technology, especially the computer lab, my students will be able to go deeper into a subject with more understanding than they would if they were just reading the text and listening to me lecture about soil. 

11.2 List/Use media and technology to present the subject so that it is comprehensible to others.

Evidence / Artifact:
    Soil can be very interesting, if the students are able to see and touch the soil.  It is, however, not always possible for the students to touch the soil or have it in the room in front of them so that they can see it.  With technology I will be able to bring soil into the room, even on rainy or cold days that I can not go outside and get soil or bring the class outside.  I plan on using pictures of different types of soil on the computer to show students the differences and similarities.

Reflection: Using technology will help me to bring things inside that are normally outside, or out of our reach.  With the internet I will be able to show students the soil in other areas of the state, other states, or even other countries. The use of video will also help me teach students about soil without having to physically bring an expert on soil into the classroom.

11.3 List/Use technology based tools that are specific to the content and grade level and that facilitate teaching strategies as available and appropriate.
