The Final Frontier

In my technology class, we had the first project of the semester:  a group presentation. We had to use Google drive, which is an updated version of Google docs. Included in the presentation had to be a call to action, an embedded link, transitions from slide to slide, images, and links to outside sources. I worked on this project with Megan Trinh and Meg Dulion .

The article, titled "Teacher Pedagogical Beliefs: The Final Frontier in Our Quest for Technology Integration," can be found here. This article discusses teacher's beliefs in switching to technology-based teaching in the classrooms. It goes by three main experiences: First hand experiences, vicarious experiences, and social-cultural experiences. It discusses whether or not teachers are willing to change their beliefs from old school to new school, so to speak. Experiences have a lot to do with beliefs of teachers.

I really enjoyed working with a group and being able to use Google drive to collaborative with my group. Through technology, we were able to access the same presentation via Google. We were able to work on the presentation on our own time, while still working together. I love being able to do that with my busy schedule. 

Here is our presentation on the changes of technology. In this, we show statistics, first order changes vs. second order changes, safety measures, and was even able to add in a Meet the Robinsons quote "keep moving forward!"
