Reflecting on myself I felt like I understood the assignment. I wish I would of picked a more technology based website. I also think I could of talked longer to the class about what the website was. However I alway enjoyed coolimate.com so I figured why not share the site with others who may not know about it. However....
There is always room for improvement.

Tonight I am reflecting on Aaron's presentation.

linoit.com
Place that you can store sticky notes, good for reminders, and note taking. You are also aloud to change the colors of the sticky notes.

Found lino.com from the class textbook.

Once signed up for FREE you can pick the color of stocky note by clicking and dragging it to its place. Then you can type what is needed to be typed and save.

Can make different files with to place the sticky note.

Aaron did very good at informing us over this new helpful tool. However I would personally not use it just because I would find more use out of using using real sticky notes rather then ones on the computer. Even thought with the computer notes you can sign on from anywhere and look at the notes.

I was not in class on the day the class talked about future of education. I was with my cheer coach at a recruiting event.

I feel like being a teacher in todays society would be a challenge since technology is always changing and improving. I think that using iPads in a classroom could be useful to a certain point. However, I feel as if it could be a distraction as well. For research purposes it could be useful for students to be able to look up information on their own in the classroom. Back when I was in elementary school any time we needed to look something up on the internet we would have to go to the computer lab as a class and use our time there to find something about our topic. Now they can stay in the class and look up the information.
The chapter talked about mashups and how it takes a bunch of different websites and makes it into one. Like google maps. One can open google maps and locations will pop up along with their information; address, hours, phone number, and website. I use maps all the time.

I was not in class for the lesson over Wikis. I had to cheer at a basketball game at the same time as the basketball game.

Wikis is like a web post that people can edit as the days go on. Wikis could be used in the classroom if I were to post a question and have the students answer. Students may also add pictures and videos. As a teacher I could add videos to add for the students to watch.
