We met in the computer lab on the first floor for class today. We had a guest speaker, Mary, from the Curriculum Technology Center (
CTC). Mary was very informative and went over many wonderful resources that are at our disposal as students attending
St. Cloud State and future teachers. The first thing she showed us was how to use the Atomic Learning. This is a very useful resource if you have any questions on a computer program such as Word, Excel and many more. You can also look up topics such as
APA formatting, which is under the training and projects tab.
Mary showed us the ISTE.org website for teachers. International Society for Technology in Education. She showed us the digital-age teaching standards that teachers need to acquire to move their students into the 21st century of learning.
Mary also went over a couple of useful sites such as Purdue Owl and Edutopia.org. What works in Education.
Mary brought us to the
CTC Center and showed us all of the useful resources available to us. We can go there to help us plan lessons, check out a children's book, use the smart board, check out an iPad or simply work at the computers.
When we were done with our tour, we worked on responding to our classmate’s blog's.
Overall, I thought it was a very informative day in our SPED 200 class.
