Summary of Learning

I decided to use the tool Emaze to create a presentation based on what I have learned from my class Principles of Instructional technologies. Emaze is a great tool to make presentations with! I chose it because I liked the layout of it and the way that it is visually appealing to an audience. It was very easy to use and helped me keep my presentation organized. There were also many options to make it my own while using a premade format.

The biggest thing I will take away from this class will most likely be all the tools that we learned about. There are so many ways to use these tools in a classroom. These tools will benefit students as long as they are introduced to them and are shown how to use them. Technology is constantly growing and it is only getting bigger. A lot of schools are trying to incorporate technology more so by taking this class and learning about different ways to make technology useful to students, I can guide them in the right direction. I will also take away the blended learning concept and always keep in mind that it is okay to give students some freedom.

Because I am studying to be an art teacher, it is going to be hard for me to incorporate technology into my classroom. By using the cool tools, I have had the time to think about what I can do to make sure that my classroom can have some technology in it. The easiest way for me to use these tools is to use them for reflections on art projects, and art critiques. I may also have my older students use the tools if I decide to make them research an artist. There are many ways I can continue to brainstorm how I can use technology. After this class, I know how important technology in a classroom is.

Overall, I really benefited from this class and plan to take this knowledge to a new level in my art classroom. Below I have embedded a summary of what I learned in this class!
