Class today went rather fast, and I found it quite enjoyable. Although I was unable to sit still for more than about 5 minutes at a time, and more than once spun my wheely-chair at least on revolution around, I was quite productive.
We started out talking about a sample quiz we had made in google docs. Before class we were to fill it out as if we were the students. Then we converted it to a spreadsheet, and graded it with Flubaroo. I had some initial trouble with this but was able to complete it with the assistance of the professor and another student. I think I've got it down now. Afterwards we posted the spreadsheet of results onto our site.
The second main task of the class involved a conversation about technological integration. We reflected for a bit, brainstorming what we thought it was, and what it was not. As a class we went around and gave examples of each. I thought that this was pretty informative, as a lot of other students has ideas that I did not when it came to integration. I also realized that there were several positives to integrating technology into the classroom, which is something that scares me as a future teacher, as I have a tendency to be tech-fearful.
Class concluded with a lecture on Bloom's Digital Taxonomy. The professor made a big point to tell us that our first project should incorporate Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, and to bring activities that support higher-order thinking skills.
