Emily's New Literacies Entry

I took CEP 416 last semester and enjoyed it. It was more directed toward online programs to use for classroom organization and how they can be implemented but nonetheless it was helpful learning about blogs, wikis, and all the tools that Goggle offers. So on Thursday, it was exciting to learn about specific programs or websites to use. One of them being the PowerPoint templates. I know it can be redundant, but students seem to love playing Jeopardy to review for a test. The website that was on the sheet had many different templates to use for this. I know I will use the msugrad page to reference and look to for ideas. I am glad that Cherice made that available to us.

The new and upcoming technologies that Cherice showed us at the beginning of her presentation are exciting but scary at the same time. If we think about the new technologies that have been introduced to our generation and how life changing some of them are. For example, the internet. Seriously, I cannot imagine life without the internet For some of our parents or grandparents it still seems so foreign. I hope that I stay up with the new technologies being introduced so I can identify with my students and know what their generation is being exposed to. I also hope to implement some of the new technologies in my classroom.
