What? As previously mentioned in one of my other reflections, I have been incorporating technology into the African presentation I am putting together in my Instructional Design class. As I was pondering what to use as an Anticipatory Set for the lesson, I decided that something involving technology would be a great attention grabber. I went online to look up possible youtube videos I could use that had to do with the continent of Africa. It took some time, but I finally found a good one. You can click on the following link in order to view the video I found for my Anticipatory Set.
So What? I'm really excited that I found this video, because I have never before used a youtube video within a school presentation, let alone a lesson I could use with students someday. However, as I become more comfortable with incorporating technology into my academic environment, I am realizing that these kind of resources will be very helpful as attention grabbers in my future classroom.
Now What? For future presentations or lessons that I need to build, I plan to use technology in some way, shape, or form. This may include a youtube video like this one, a SMART board presentation, an interactive website or online picture, or any other kind of visual technology. Students love watching videos (I know I do) and technology reaches them better than any other tool in this generation since kids today have grown up in a world full of technology.
