In addition to a full day Steve Spangler workshop (posted under Edcamp), I attended a workshop about Bookcreator and a workshop given by a speaker about podcasting in the classroom. Although I was already exposed to the Bookcreator application, Mrs. Beck gave some additional tips and tricks I was not aware of. In addition, she mentioned additional uses of a bookcreator such as using it as a method to create a book about yourself as a teacher to present to students and teachers. My attached evidence is the first few pages of what I may create as a future science teacher.
My second PD workshop was about podcasting and it was presented by Josh Flores. I really enjoyed learning about how I can implement podcasting in the classroom and how it can be a great way for students to articulate their projects or explain concepts. It is a great tool that can be used to show student progress to parents or even just to document when the class has had a discussion on an issue such as ethics.
I can see myself using both of these technologies in my future classroom to enhance the learning of my future students.
