I am from Anderson, SC. I'm 21. I'm a senior at Clemson University. I work at Best Buy.

I like technology. I use it everyday. I would say I am knowledgeable on new technologies. I feel that technology is essential in the world we live in today. As a teacher I feel like I will use technology daily for instruction. It would get the students to be more connected to what we are learning.

[] The quizlet activity was a fun activity where I learned to make flashcards online. The flashcard generator is free and easy to use. I signed up for a free account while a paid one is available with more features I suppose. I enjoyed creating these and think that students would have a great time also. The addition of pictures on the flash card will aid in acquisition of the new word.

For my other flashcard generator I downloaded one to my phone. I downloaded the Pop Quiz app by Shadowpuppets on the android market place. This app allowed me to create study cards on my phone and use them to study. The app was free and very useful. I feel that the students would rather carry their phone around to study with rather than having tons of flashcards in their pockets. The app also allowed me to download flashcards already generated from websites like quizlet.com. I figured since the students already have their phones on them 24/7, they could use it for something productive.

I liked the fact that the phone app was able to download flashcards from quizlet.com. The students could generate them on the website and download them to their phones so they would always have them with them to study. Both generators were easy to use and offered great features. Things like this would get the student more involved in their learning.

 * Smart Board Part 1**

This interactive calculator can be used when practicing numbers in the target language. The students could each come up to the board and another student call out an equation to be performed on the calculator.



Both of these clocks are interactive. The one on the left can be used as a timer during a test. Each clock has full movement which is beneficial when learning how to tell time in the target language.

There are some blocks you have to move and some balloons you have to pop to reveal answers. This will help students remember the material because they had to find or move objects to reveal the answer.
