Reflection 9 Assignment 7: Creating a SlideShow Presentation

For this assignment we had to create a SlideShow presentation using SlideShare.net.
SlideShare is kind of like YouTube for Power Point Presentations. You create a power
point and then upload for the public to have access too it. I created a slideshow on
Effective Professional Development for Successful Technology Integration. Click here

This week we discussed the advantages and disadvantages to using wireless technology. I said, one of the main advantages of wireless technology in education is that you can take it anywhere! If a teacher wants to create a different learning environment, while using the laptop computers, she can do so by taking her class wherever. Class can be held in the hall, in the gym, in the library, or maybe even outside. Most importantly, it is a “time-saver.” Instead of having to move from room to room and log on to different computers, wireless allows you to take it where ever you go. While there are many advantages, reliability is the only disadvantage that comes to my mind. At my school, the wireless internet goes out a lot! Unfortunately, when it comes to using technology, we always have to overcome those “glitches.”
