Week 8: It's Almost Ted Talks time!

Preparing for my genius hour I am beginning to consider what I will need for my video of Ted Talks. I am planning on video taping in my bedroom at my desk with my laptop camera. I will wear something professional to make my video seem more profession because my topic is serious. Also, I want to make my video interesting and exciting so I want to incorporate photos and video clips of animals in captivity to keep my audiences attention. I am not sure what I will use to make my video, but I think I will attempt to use iMovie because I really enjoyed it while making my genius hour trailer.

As for my feelings towards using educational technology is that I really love it because it enhances learning by grabbing the attention of students. Throughout this class I have really enjoyed learning all about the different tools that you can use in class. I feel as though I have learned very useful things from this class because I can use all of the different technology tools that I have learned about. I have already began thinking about how I could use Plickers or Story bird in my own lessons! I really believe that the tools that I have learned about from this class will help me become a better teacher because my lessons will never be boring if I use this interesting technology.
