Instructional Technology Presentation

The following is a presentation I made about some of the topics discussed in my Instructional Technology class. I really enjoyed this class and it helped to broaden my knowledge on technology to use in my future classroom.

PLN

When I first read about PLN's I didn't think that I could use it as a future math teacher. After reading and discussing PLN's in class I have been able to think of a couple of ways to use a PLN as a future educator and have discussed three of them here.

The first way I can use a PLN is to connect with the entire math department at the school I am working at. It will help us to share ideas about lesson plans and to ask questions about anything we may need help with when it comes to teaching. A second way I will use PLN's is to connect with the other math teachers in the district to get help with lesson plans and questions. A final way I can use a PLN is to connect with math teachers from around the state of Texas. This will help the most because we all have to teach the same TEKS, so we can provide each other with help whether it is with lesson plans or ways to get our students more interested in math.

WebQuests in my Future Classroom

When I first read about WebQuests I was't sure how I could use them in my future math class, but after seeing some examples I've changed my mind. I will probably mostly use WebQuests to do introductory lessons and for projects. For example, I could use it to introduce formulas in a Pre-Calculus class. I can also use WebQuests for projects to help my students connect math to the real world.
