Blog Post # 2

Since my first blog post I believe I have gained a more in depth understanding of how to incorporate technology into the classroom.  Before taking Principles of Instructional Technology I had never used Google Docs or Kidspiration.  I believe both will be very useful in my future teaching.  Google Docs can be a great resource for creating a grade sheet while Kidspiration can be a great resource for assisting visual learners.  I especially found the PowerPoint assignment to be very useful.  I have used PowerPoint before but simply for presentation purposes.  I did not realise the interactive opportunities PowerPoint is capable of.  I believe the technologies learned in Principles of Instructional Technology will be very useful in my future classroom and will be very interested on  which useful tools will be presented next.
