blog post 13!

While watching "Top Ten Tips For Using Technology in The Classroom," it only made me realize how important technology is in the classroom. This video also proves to me that I will be able to apply the technology and the ten tips into my own classroom. Also in this video it backups everything that Dr. Strange has taught us in EDM 310. From watching this video and almost completing EDM it helps me have a better understanding of how technology is to be used in the classroom.
For a few of his tips I agree with using Skype and music. Not that I don't agree, with the other eight tips but I am all for introducing and including music and Skype into my classroom. I have said before in many of my blog post that I want a "buddy class" for the usage of Skype. Ever since watching the one class Skype with another and make poems via Skype on a teachers blog I was assigned to, I have been fascinated. I wish as if I could go into the classroom now and start it. With music, it is a great way for the students to get motivated in doing their work. Even having music for a quick dance, or even the Alphabet song, the students will be involved because anything is better than sitting at a desk for seven or eight hours straight. Using technology in the classroom can be entertaining but also help you achieve the goals you want to achieve in your lesson plans. Technology is great, where would we be without it?!
