Presentation Reflections

I feel that the presentations today were very good. I was glad that the blogging group went into more detail about blogs. I know the very basics of blogging but that is it. I feel that as a teacher I will use blogs very often to post information that the class might need, such as if a student misses a day they will know what they need to do in order to catch up. The group was organized and knew their information well. Manipulations are new to me so I learned a lot today from that group. They taught me many things and I now feel more comfortable using manipulations in my classroom. Both teams provided a lot of good resources and I feel that I will be able to use some of them in my own classroom when integrating technology in the lessons.
