Exit Slip

We talked about grades today and how Professor Boyer resolved the situation between his grading system and the traditional way of grading.  I like the way Professor Boyer grades and thought it was a good example of how to problem solve to make his way of grading work in D2L.  We also discussed how a teacher in Canada has integrated technology into her classroom.  We talked about the different ways she integrated technology and how it can be used to increase student engagement in the classroom.  It was nice to see a teacher integrating technology into her classroom, it shows me that it is possible and that schools are trying to incorporate more technology into the school setting.  Professor Boyer gave us a strategy to use when deciding whether or not to integrate technology into the classroom.  If we can do something better or something now that we couldn't do before without technology then we should integrate technology into that activity.  This way we aren't unnecessarily adding technology into something that doesn't really need it.  The new things I learned about today will be helpful later when I want to integrate technology into my future classroom.
