After listening to most of the presentations, I feel a little more comfortable using technology in the classroom. One presentation that I feel I really benefitted is the one about acceptable use policies (AUPs). This is something teachers should know about and know how to write. I had no idea about all of the different aspects that need to be included in a good AUP. The resources that the group gave the class will also be beneficial to us as future teachers. I would be much more comfortable putting an AUP together now.
I also liked learning about the different resources presented by the technology integration in science group. I had not heard about how beneficial a handheld could be to a teacher. This group definitely sparked my interest on this subject. I would like to do some more research about handhelds and how they can be used in the classroom. I had heard about the digital divide before, but it was interesting to see the facts that the group brought up.
