Summary of Learning

For my summary of learning, I decided to use Google Slides as my artifact.  The reason I chose Google Slides is because I have never used it or experimented with it before.  I was hoping to be able to see a difference between Google Slides and regular PowerPoint but unfortunately there was not a very great difference.  However, after starting my summary of learning I really enjoyed being able to pick out a slide theme, fonts, colors, etc.

My biggest take-away's from EdTech would be the understanding of TPACK, blended learning, copyright, and the surprisingly enjoyment of blogging.  Most importantly though, I will take with me everything that I learned about eBooks.  Learning about the eBooks really caught my eye because it is a very great way for special needs kids to feel engaged and learn along with the class.  Since I will be working with autistic children as an educator, I can take what I learned about eBooks and hopefully transfer it into my own teachings.

In my future classroom, I plan to use technology a lot of the time but not all of the time.  I want my students to be able to have fun, experiment, do things on their own online but I also want them to learn through face-to-face interaction.  I hope to teach my students that technology is a responsibility and if that is how you want to learn, you'll have to understand it is all on you to read, type, research, etc.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class and am excited to incorporated my learning with my future teachings!  Below is my slideshow, enjoy!
