The Most Useful Topic.....

I would have to say that the most useful topic that I learned during this semester had to be the technology lesson. By my own admission, technology is NOT my forte!!! I always seem to be light years behind everyone else, when it comes to technology. I found the information that each group shared to be quite informative. A few of the sites were familiar to me, meaning, I had heard of them, but not used them. Most were new to me.  The other day, about 15 minutes before class began, I was playing around with wisc-online and found a cool interactive power point on the chain of infection. It was exactly what I have been teaching my students for the past week. I was planning on using the lesson plan that I had worked on the night before to review the topic with my class. I figured that the interactive powerpoint would be neat to use at a later time, after I had more to play with it. As it turned out, my class flew through the lesson review that I had planned for them. Just as I realized they were going to finish up before I needed them to, my administrator walked in to evaluate me!! "Great news class", I said, "I have a special surprise that I planned just for you today!". I proceeded to go to wisc-online. The kids really enjoyed the powerpoint, and I watched as my administrator nodded approvingly. Thanks Trent, for introducing me to this site!
