My Favorite Technology: Material Generators
Material generators are by far my favorite technology. According to our book some of those include test generators, graphic document makers, activities/worksheet generators, whiteboard activity software and webpage editors. I have used many of these to assist in learning in my classroom.
One of my favorites is Microsoft Office. I find myself using it every day to make tests, create calendars and behavior sheets, and making PowerPoint presentations to assist in learning of many objectives that are being taught. I have created many cooperative learning games using Publisher.
Another favorite of mine is the whiteboard activity software. If there has ever been a great software created, this is one of the greatest. We used our whiteboard every day of the year. Whether to play games, teach new math concepts through our Math in Focus website, or model problems on the board that the students were able to come up and be in engaged in. This tool allows the students not only to be engaged, but have total control over their own learning.

I could not manage my lessons without my Exam View generator. It saves me a lot of time and it helps me to focus on certain sections of the chapter. Your video on Interactive White boards was interesting and informative. I like how the video used step by step details.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Sometimes people forget how vital Microsoft office is to a classroom. I use it everyday.
