Technology in the classroom

         In my SEDU183 class this year we have been learning to work with different forms of technology.   Tools like Microsoft PowerPoint, twitter, GMail, blogging, and google docs.  While all this training can be useful I found that trying to learn how to use it very frustrating.  But if learned well I could see using some of these tools in a classroom for older students.  Creating an interactive PowerPoint would work well for students in grades two-five and even older students, however I can not see ways to use blogging and google docs in a elementary special needs classroom.  
   I did find that using google docs did have it's good and bad points.  I would only use this tool in a middle school or high school classroom.  I liked the fact that m group did not have to be in the same room to work on our paper.  It was useful to be able to work at your own pace and talk to everyone when you wanted.  Bad points were that the when I was writing the screen would freeze up and when I typed it would skip letters causing many misspellings.
   My favorite project we have done thus far wold be the interactive power point.  This project was something I could really use in my classroom.  I love to be creative things so this allowed me to do just that.  This project also showed me some new ways to use PowerPoint, like hyperlinks and embedding videos.
