IT 365 is a technology class for teachers. We learned several techniques on how to teach students using technology or even integrate technology into our other subjects. For instance, we made a concept map using the Inspiration program which we can use for a visual aide when we are teaching our students. We also used many web tools, such as making a online rubric, puzzle, website, photo story, and worksheet. Children love to learn when it is fun and having some puzzles to do, making a website, and using a computer to present will make school a whole lot more exciting. I would like for my students to be able to use technology in order to create their own portfolios and be able to enhance their papers, notes, visual aide, projects, and several other things.
We also learned how to help students that have problems learning due to disabilities. I never knew that computers have features in order to help students with hearing, visual, or physical disabilities. Our assistive technology assignment taught me about: Print screen key, high contrast and large formatting, magnifier, toggle keys, flash active, and on screen keyboard. Most of these were for the visual or hearing impaired and the on screen keyboard and toggle keys were for the physically impaired. We also learned about plagiarism and how easy it is to do. We used the plagiarism website, Turnitin.com and turned a total plagiarism copy and a copy that we wrote using the same information.
IT 365 was a very benefical class to me. I learned that technology could be used in a classroom everyday, rather it is using a computer, making a power point, making a photo story, helping the disabled a child, and several other ways. We can incorporate technology into any subject and use it wisely.
