Autobiography Revision

I can honestly say that my eyes have been opened in many ways on the usage of technology. No longer is my computer just an expensive typewriter. I was always comfortable with using and learning about technology, but my knowledge on how to use it diversely in the classroom was limited. Prior to this class, the idea of a blog just made my eyes roll. Now, however, I can envision the blog of them in the classroom. This use of a wiki interesting and interactive and even though I cannot really see how to use them in the English classroom, I want to keep it in the back of my mind just in case I can find an authentic use for them. I think that the podcast would be a good tool to use for discussion and literature circles. My favorite technology that I have learned about was the digital story. I like to do background lessons for the literary works that I work with in the class and I feel that the digital story would be an engaging way to accomplish that. They can also be used as an assignment for the students to engage with and explore writing in a different way.
