My Previous Educational Technology Experience 


Throughout my time in the education program I have observed technology mainly being used through chromebooks to use google docs and conduct research. However, I have also observed my mentor teachers use iPads as an assessment tool where they take pictures and videos of students' work to help track student thoughts and progress. 


My own personal experience with educational technology is I have created websites and online stores. I also have experience with photography, videography, photo and video editing, and social media platforms such as youtube. These all of which I believe would be useful to help integrate technology into the classroom. 


My Questions about Educational Technology


I think my own personal grey area when integrating technology into the classroom is how to incorporate technology into assessment. I have seen my mentor teachers use iPads as a way to document verbal responses; however, I am wondering if there are potentially websites that we can use to help us assess students through technology. I am also wondering if there are any websites that we can use to help us create assessment tools such as rubrics.

  1. Marissa,
    Star #1- I enjoyed reading and browsing your blog. It is clear and concise (easy to read for non-tech users!) . I also really appreciated that you related your "burning question" to your personal life and experience with technology as a pre-service teacher.
    Star #2- It is amazing that you have multiple technology experiences in and outside of classrooms. I really liked how you incorporated examples from your past experiences where the opportunities presented themselves. This made the read interesting, and helped to reinforce your goals/points that you were trying to make.
    Wish- Maybe next time double check your sentences (some can use comma's) . :)

  2. Hello Marissa,
    Your blog set up is very interesting and fun but it was a little hard for me to read.
    Your previous experience is very helpful to use in the classroom.
    I am super interested in seeing the resources that you will collect by the end of this semester.
    Great work,
    Hala
