Wow. This is exciting!

Google is an amazing website.  I had no clue how much there was to it.  I was amazed when I learned about Google Docs, Blogger, Sites, etc. It is the ultimate source of organization.  I am planning on moving all of my notes from class into individual documents on Google Docs.  If I ever want to reference anything that I learned in school, I can always count on these documents to be online waiting for me.  It is also very practical for me because I am constantly using different computers or laptops and I would not have to email papers and notes to myself anymore!  The Google Site is something that I want to use for work.  Our website for the preschool is so out of date.  I am going to see if I can make this a project to do at work.  I think that parents would love a website that is updated monthly discussing what is going on at their children's school.  We could post important information about projects, potlucks, etc.  I am so excited about how much I have learned so far from this class.  It is really going to make a difference in my life.

Hello

My name is Arianna Donzuso. I am in school working towards a degree in Literature. After obtaining my Literature degree, I plan to pursue Elementary Education. I am passionate about working with children and helping them learn. I believe that this technology class will help me gain experience in using technology in the classroom. Throughout this class, I will focus on learning about new technologies and making creative lesson plans for the future.  The video that we watched earlier was very interesting.  It puts into perspective how frequently children are using technology outside of the classroom.  It makes you wonder about certain ways that you, as a teacher, could incorporate technology for the benefit of your students.
