I learned all kinds of things from listening to the different podcasts this semester. Anything ranging from iPad and smart boards in classrooms to pre-service teacher class structure. Every podcast I listened to had new information on technology and resources for education. I now have another source to turn to when looking for resources for while I'm in school and for when I'm doing the schooling. :-) it was really exciting to learn about the types of technology being introduced in elementary schools because when I first began this class I had the mindset that this wouldn't apply to my classroom because I'm an elem. Ed major. I have now learned how extremely wrong I was and how essential technology is in every class at every age!
My favorite podcast was by Conversations on
EdTechTalk
The episode I reflected on was called Teachable Moments, it was all about those moments when it is necessary and appropriate to go off the lesson plan and outside the curriculum to discuss things that have been brought up. An common example of this is current events. Especially things like natural disasters. They talked about how important it was to keep it educational and age appropriate as well.
