Building my technology skills!

Throughout the semester we have done a lot of exploration of different types of technology, in and out of class. We are continuously building upon our knowledge of tools and tricks to use in our future classrooms; not only in 315 but in all of our Block 1 classes.

I learned how to use the "print screen" button while doing an assigment for 379. I was trying to save a picture off of a web page, and could not save it, so I decided to enlarge the image and do a print screen instead. To do this, on my computer, you hold down the function key and the print screen key at the same time. You can then paste the image into a word document, or other photo editing software. This helped me make use of some great online resources for my project, that I would not have been able to do, otherwise.

I feel that as future teachers we should all be looking for way to incorporate technology and new tools into our own classwork and learning to enable us to present this knowledge to our elementary students.
