13. Issues involved in using classroom technology As technology has become more persistent in the classroom, researchers have states that the obvious issues such as texting and recurrent social media visits have become more popular. Cell phones have been made “off limits” while in school so that they do not pose distractions to students during the school day. Along with the obvious issues with technology in the classroom, there are also legal, social, and ethical issues involved in classroom technology.

18. Evaluation I have learned what different features that I can use with PowerPoint. While preparing the presentation, I also thought about the age level that I would like to teach and about what type of information, content and how that content should be presented. The most useful resources were different articles on the Helmke Library Website and other webpages online. I could use this project if and when I decide to teach in a middle school setting. This information is extremely important and it is something that young adults need to be aware of.

19. Other things that can be done with PowerPoint are; creating review game, making flash cards, or even taking notes in the note box when a professor gives you the PowerPoint used in class ahead of time. This project could be further improved by using more transitions, or by using more examples that relate to the class. However, this can only be done once the teacher gets acquainted with their students. If this was a student project, I would evaluate it based on the information that was given throughout the presentation, the amount of visible effort that was put into the presentation, how well the tools were used in PowerPoint, and grammar/spelling errors. After doing this project, I would like to get better with the other Word programs such as Excel. Once I know the basics I would be more comfortable moving onto using different technological applications on Smart Boards, Tablets, etc.
