Last Assignment

I truly enjoyed writing up the lesson plan for this last assignment for this class. I think it really got me thinking about how I can use technology day-to-day in the classroom to mix up instruction. Students today do not want to come to school and hear every single teacher lecture all day about their subject. Instead we can mix it up and let the students do research and then let them become the teacher. Kids learn really well from their peers, so why not give them the opportunity to do so. It will also let students find the information themselves instead of just being told it. Students learn best when they do something so why not give them the opportunity to do just that. I think I would like to do something like this at least once a unit that way it mixes up the days and lets the kids explore and have fun. Eventually I would like to try more than just Glogster with the students but I think for now I will just focus on that one, that way I can master it too and become a good resource for help on the program.
