The use of computer simulations & gaming to
View more presentations from shawnaced480.

Today we presented our slideshare teachbacks. My presentation was based on gaming and simulations to enhance learning. Doing my research, I was able to understand more about the uses and purposes of gaming and simulations. Using slideshare.com was very helpful and has opened up a new world of information on topics that I may need for my future classroom. If I would need more info on how to teach a certain concept or just gain more knowledge to be more of an expert on topics that may be difficult for my students to understand.

Elluminate Live!


Today we experimented with a seven thousand dollar program called Elluminate Live. We were able to view our Weebly profiles through the use of Elluminate Live. This software is ideal for overseas business presentations and I did enjoy the features that it provides. I would use this software to help my students connect with other students over seas.

WebQuest


For the webquest assignment we created a webquest that we could use for future use. This also helped us gain more knowledge on what teachers have to work with through computers and technology. The software that we used was easy to follow and very user friendly. Compared to the one other website that we used this was the easiest and I plan on using it again.This software would be useful to me as a teacher because I can have my students use a created webquest to reinforce certain concepts that may be difficult for them to understand.
