 * __ Student Enagement with Technology __**

__ Description: __ For this assignment we had to choose two of our best examples of instructional activities with student engagement through technology. We had to fill out a forn and give descriptions of both activities. We also had to record an explanation of our favorite of the two lessons using audacity. Instructional technology is the use of a variety of teaching tools to improve students learning, such as, computers, cameras, smartboards, audio, i-pods etc.

If you would like a great interactive phonics lesson click on the word document! __Process and Why Selected:__ I chose these activities because they are websites that are used almost everyday in my classroom. The websites are easy to navigate through and being a Kindergarten teacher it that is hard to find. My students truly enjoy both websites. I also recommend these websites to the parents so the kids can use them at home. media type="file" key="student engagement 6010.mp3" width="240" height="20"

__ Reflection: __ This assignment wasn't as interesting as the other assignments. I did not care for the voice recording. I felt as though I was, and still am, repeating myself. I will say that I appreciate the practice with using audacity, I think I have become pretty good at it now. I am happy to share my two favorite examples, I just feel that I did so on the discussion board and the word document along with the audio and now the Process and Why Selected. I am just not sure why it needs to be repeated so much. I could howver, be answering the questions wrong. I am not trying to be negative, because like I said before I appreciate the practice. I am just glad that the other assigments were not the same.
