Tonight we learned about the wonderful technological tool of smartboards. We could not use mimio, but that is okay because the smartboard was still loads of fun. It was actually brilliant and I WANT ONE RIGHT NOW!!! That kind of sounded like Veronica from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when she screamed for an Oompa Loompa, didn't it? Anyhow, Katy and I did a lot of hands on experimenting with the Smartboard on our computers and she drew me lots of funny little pictures and I proved I was an unreformed, incorrigible troublemaker once again by writing unspeakable words on my slides. (I did erase them though, which is an improvement).
The best part of the class was the presents--okay just kidding. No, in all seriousness folks, the presentation of technology plans was a nice conclusion to the course. I was amazed at everything that people learned and researched in an effort to bring technology and accessibility to their students. I sincerely believe that this course is a true treasure trove of information and the students who are in it just add to it. I learned so much in this course that I cannot think of any others that rival it.
Not only did this course improve how I will approach technology in my classroom, but it has already improved my leisure time. I have already made a couple of musical audio recordings on Audacity and am pursuing the dreams of my youth by being a recording artists! I am absolutely serious. I applied what we learned in class to laying down tracks of music and then adding tracks of vocals and then played around with the effects to have a pretty professional product. After Technology in Special Education with Rick Mills who needs Nashville???

Trace your the only one who posted on tonight's class so I am responding to you! First of all the smartboards were really cool. Second of all, you did sound like Veronica from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in your blog tonight. I agree with you that the plans were a great conclusion to the course. I thought everyone did a really nice job. And lastly, good luck with your music career and don't forget me when you're famous!
Tracy, you exhibited so much excitement about your tech plan. Ihope you can make it happen! I know that I would have to have answers around censorship, lannguage and content. I would most likely have to have the show "previewed" by someone in adminstration before it aired. if you have tips around this, please let me know.
I want to know how it works!
Enjoy yor summe.
