Reflection+Module+1

=== Reflection Prompt: **How has your knowledge of technology standards changed after this module? Reflect on your own use of technology standards in your classroom and personal use.**===

=== Description : This week was the final week of school for us. Students used iPads to complete a PBL assignment. Students had to pick a city anywhere within the United States that they want to visit. They then used iPads to research the city, find a hotel, and calculate how much money they would spend on gas. Finally, they used this information and created a word document to describe their plan. This was a cross curriculum assignment that required students to use math, social studies, and language arts.=== === Impact: As all teachers know, it is very tough to keep students focused/engaged as the end of the years approaches. In the past it has been a struggle to get students motivated to complete projects around this time of year. This year was different and I believe the technology aspect was the key. Students were excited to use the iPads each day. Students were asking for me to get them out of other classes(where they were watching movies) so they can work on their projects.===

=== Intent: I will add more technology to my classes for next year. I will spend this Summer thinking of different ways to implement technology in my classroom. This class will give me a boost/head start to preparing for next year. I will use all new things learned in this class next year.===
