Blog # 12

After taking this class, I realized that there are a lot of programs that deal with technology, not just the programs I was aware of, like Microsoft Office, but a podcast, a Wiki, a digital story. I thought I knew PowerPoint very well, as in my other job I took a class about it, but at no point they told us about the non-linear presentations. This is very nice to do, it was easy and I can definitely apply it to my class, as a review or to do quizzes. The digital stories are something we can apply it into my curriculum for someone who already knows the language a little bit. It could be like a final project for someone in High School on a second level. For the Wiki I was thinking about creating a story line, where the entire group can create a story. One can start and then all the other kids put parts to the story and create something very creative. And most of all I liked that we were able to create a web site. It is nice that even after we leave the class we can come back to the tutorials website and figure out how to do it, as I am sure that after a while I will forget how to do it. Just yesterday in my other class the teacher was telling us what we could do with technology in the word languages programs and I was very happy to know what she was talking. She told us for what purpose we could use each and it was nice to have now that knowledge about it. It has been a very good experience for me.
