I think the most difficult thing in implementing this assignment in an elementary classroom is teaching all of the students to use a movie making program. Most schools don't allow much computer lab time for each class, and so that will break up the momentum students have in completing their assignment. Also, teaching younger students about copywrite laws may be a challenge. They may not understand all the aspects of the assignment and that confuse may detract from the lesson objective.

TPACK

TPACK is technological pedigogical and content knowledge. The technical knowledge is understanding how to use technology. Pedogogical knowledge is a general understanding of teaching, and content knowledge is knowing your subject. TPACK combines these 3 knowledges as the knowledge of how to use technology to enhance a specific content's pedagogical methods and strategies. This is crucial for a teacher because it will significantly enhance their effectiveness as an educator as well as increase their students willingness to pay attention to a topic.

What I learned

I learned so much this week, its hard to pick just one thing that is most useful. But since I have to pick, I choose embedding things into my webpage. I had always wondered how people did that, thinkin it was some extremely complicated task I could never attempt. However, embedding is somewhat simple after you get the hang of it. I still need a little practice using the source tool on pbworks, but I'm getting much better.

RSS Feed

Web 2.0 is a newer concept on the world wide web that was created with an aim to spark creativity, enhance communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. I believe that I can use this as an educator mostly from the collaboration aspect. I can share what I've learned with teachers from all over the world, and they can share with me.

My Technology Experience

Most of my experience with technology has taken place at BYU. With the exception of class assignments, I only have experience surfing the web, and creating basic word documents.
