Welcome back to my blog! Chapter 5 was about Digital media and educational software applications . I was most interested in the educational software. I think that alot of the games would be fun for students but we all know the down falls of some educational software......SAM. I think the critical thinking applications would appeal to the age range I may teach in the fall such as the Harry Potter game. I remember the GeoSafari game from when I was in grade school, however it was not on a computer it was a "play computer" Technology has really advanced since then.
I haven't really learned anything since the last class because there was not a last class. I think I will use alot of the educational software that was talked about on pages 299-302. It will help me give those students who finish early something constructive to do. I know that I will be using drill and practice software because I will be teaching 2nd grade and they must learn their math!
Enough about educational technology applications..... I have to start thinking about how I will decorate my classroom. I know some teachers go a bit overboard. Oh well school doesn't start till Aug 20th so I have a while. It is so hot outside. I am glad the classrooms are well air conditioned!! Until Post # 6

I let students play typing games after they finish their assisgnemts. There are some good flash ones out there that don't require downloading.
I cant wait till I get my own classroom. Ima be that teacher that goes way overboard.
so...i take it you will be teaching math?
Yes, educational software should be fun, motivating, and appropriate. And as far as SAM goes...
