On the schools public website, it has loads on information. On it it has specific headings for teachers, students, parents, clubs, & athletics. I see that parents can look at the bus information, schedules, & technology information. There also is a section that leads to all the teachers websites. You just find the teacher you want & click their link. There is information on clubs & athletic events that are going on. There is even a history tab where you can learn more about the school. This is a high school website for Leon High in Tallahassee. https://www.leonschools.net/leon.


In the future I see myself using technology even more than today. Technology can be so helpful in many different ways. For example, you can use your phone as a super small computer and can check items on the go instead of having to use a computer. You can also use it to stay in touch with your family and friends or if you are a teacher you can use it to stay in touch with the kids. It is a good way to stay up to date and keep them posted with assignments, quizzes, and grades. If I were to become a teacher it would be my responsibility to stay in touch and stay up to date so with technology it would make my everyday life a lot easier and make my days more effective.


The robot that follows the teacher is very useful in the classroom. It can be used in the classroom because the robot follows the teacher and records video and sound. This is good for students online so they can see and hear everything that was said in the class. It is also good for the ones that do not make it to class. They have a way of catching up on the work. They do not have to get notes from other students, they can get the real lecture and stay up with the work. I personally would use the device in all my lectures.


I had a good experience at the tech sandbox. I have been before in the past and I still enjoy the time that I am in there. It is really neat to have a hands on experience with the different types of technology. I also like that we can use it and see if we would like them before we spent a lot of money on a piece for personal use. It is also cool to have experience now before I have to use them in a classroom and not know what I am doing. I really enjoyed my experience in there and hope to go again.

ILP "Participation"- Technology Showcase

Image
I visited the Technology Showcase before class and it was a great learning experience. I had a hands on experience with the different types of technologies used in our schools today. I got to use the three different types of smart boards. I used AR and VR. Those were very neat because I have never used them before and it was a new experience. I did get a little motion sick from it though. I also used the robots that are very helpful for the ones learning experience. They have a robot that records video and sound of instruction. They even have an IPad that gives you the ability to incorporate learning with different games. My activity notes: The equipment is very fancy and seem very expensive. I like the white board that plays games. It would keep the kids interested with learning. But if it was for high school kids the normal white boards would probably work best. Or with older kids, I would use the VR and AR. I think they would enjoy that more and it would be more practical. Also,...

Initial Blog Post (Post #0)

My name is Logan Brown. I am from Jacksonville, Florida. I am a die hard FSU sports fan. I also am a big Jaguars fan. I love sports, animals, and food. A day in my life is pretty busy during the week. I work two jobs and a full time student. I am gone non stop until  the weekend. I love the weekends because I do not have work so I am able to relax and focus on some school work. But when it comes to the school work, I am such a good procrastinator! Oh and I LOVE to spend money, I am pretty good at that too. In the past I have not used too much technology. I am from the west side of Jacksonville so the funding was not that good. I am just used to white boards and some projectors. I have visited the sandbox here and it is very neat. All the educational technology is amazing and is making learning more fun that what it used to be. I wish I was taught with it because I feel as if I would have paid a little more attention to it throughout my learning. I hope to learn all the new gadget...

Persanolly I am not a fan of the flipped classroom. To me that type of classroom is far away from the traditional style that most everyone knows today. In the flipped style you kind of help yourself and others learn the material. You can do the learning on your own. Once you do the learning you come and explain what you know. This gives the teacher a way to make sure you have learned the correct material. It will also include more activities. I do not think this style is for everyone though. OERs are to help people learn but with out the nuisance of spending money all different types of resources. OERs give you a way to get some education resource from all over. From the site I was on they explain many types of OERs. They also give out resources for anyone to use. They organize the material as courses. The material is also for higher education. They give out wanted information for the ones who are in universities and beyond. I find it very helpful because I learn more on OERS and see...
