Digital Technology


Digital technology has been one of the major changes we have seen within our schools today. From laptops to iPads and even cellular devices. There are many ways for us as teachers to deliver information to our students today. I have not been known for a person to keep up with the ever so changing technology uses and programs but being apart of this class has helped me tremendously with learning about new programs. The latest program we were introduced to was prezi, this digital storytelling program is much more advanced than your standard PowerPoint presentation. I believe this program is much more engaging and because of the special effects it includes will be something of Internet that even the students will be able to use when creating their own presentations. 

The smart board technology use has become much more advanced then from when I used it back in high school. There are many different presentations and games that are open for anyone's use. Like everyone always tips us future educators, "why reinvent the wheel". I believe the smartboard templates will Beverly helpful when looking for ideas and games to keep the students engaged. 

It amazes me how much digital storytelling and digital pictures can be that much more meaningful and really make an impact on people. Digital storytelling can be either funny or serious. Below is a link of digtial storytelling with humour that was shared in class.
