Teaching Insights

So far, my insights into technology, as far as teaching goes, are vast. I have discovered new design techniques that will come in extremely handy in the classroom. More importantly, I have discovered that a Power Point presentation does not have to be linear. This amazes me! I am having so much fun creating Power Points that have the feel of websites. Never before did I think I was in any way qualified to design a website, and I know I have much more to learn, but it now seems like a possibility.

I think a class website is a great idea. As a Theatre and Drama teacher, I will be able to list up-coming show dates or audition dates along with audition process information. I also think it would be fun to have actor bios as part of the website. Taking this even further, my students could use the site to create their own projects. As in, instead of making the pages myself, I could have my students design them. This will be a great way to combine Drama and Technology into my classroom.
