I am proud to admit that I am a technology geek. If there is a new technology product, website, or tool on the market I love to learn how it works and figure out how to include it in my daily life. As a classroom teacher it is my goal to incorporate as many technology applications as I can effectively. When selecting technology for the classroom it is important to find tools that are appropriate as well as useful for all students. It is important to not expose my students to tools that will require them to pay any fees, while also keep their identity safe on the internet.
Tools that live in a cloud are one of my newest technologies that I try to share with as many people as possible. Cloud computing is an amazingly powerful tool since it is often free - thanks Google, as well as available from any location. Cloud computing meets the requirements of being gender, culturally, and socioeconomically sensitive. There are no fees associated with cloud computing, as long as a person has access to a computer their cloud is at their fingertips.
For my final project in EDUC 8841 I created a
video on how to utilize the power of the cloud.
