How exciting TeachUp! Training is! Day 1
Training today was really interesting and educational. I learned about so may new things I had no clue about. I had no idea that there was a site called Google Earth. Furthmore, I did not know it was as exciting as it was. Being able to tour the world without actually physically being there is awesome! Also, learning about podcast was pretty cool because now I will be able to take that into the classrooms and hopfully get the children as excited about it as I am. I was not familiar with blogs but being that it was introduced to me, I hope to grow as fund of it as others are. Overall, today was one big learning experience as I know the next few days will be. I am amped and ready to explore!

Hey Ara i agree with you on the google earth i thought it was amazing. it was alot of info to take in at once but i think once we get the hang of things we are going to be more advance than we thought we were.
ReplyDeleteI agree ARA, today was very educational. I had some knowledge of podcast but I never made my own. While working in groups and interviewing my fellow colleagues, It was a complete joy. I think that this new use of technology is going to rock in the classrooms. I am an educator major and I have been thinking of exciting projects and ways that I can integrate the podcast and Google Earth into my future curriculum plans.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Google Earth application. To think that you can see any place in the world without it costing you a thing. It is just a completely awesome application.
ReplyDeleteThe podcast seems like a neat feature to bring to the kids in the classrooms. I really think it will help them to enage more in the assignments provided to them from their teachers. This is also a new feature to me and I hope that I will be able to gain knowledge of it in a very quick time.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on Google earth. I used it once, but the tools/areas that were presented today I had no clue of. Today was a fun and educational experience.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed Google Earth. You should download it and work with it some more, because there are lots of features that we just don't have time to fully explore. I hope you learn to enjoy blogging and come up with some creative ways to use them in the classroom!
