The most influential pieces of technology/software we have used this semester, that I will definitely use in my future 9th grade Language Arts classroom, are newsletters, Google Earth, the Concept Maps, and Powerpoint.
IN all of my technology pieces I have found a way to connect the software we used to the classroom I plan on having in the future. Newsletters can be used for a lot of things in a grammar/language arts classroom. I used information in graphs and how they can be analyzed for the project.
Concept Maps can also be used for a lot of things with works of Shakespearean plays, writing prompts (which is what I used for the project) and my own teaching methods.
I used Google Earth for a Shakespearean tour. I had my students stop at a lot of places plays occurred.
The only piece of technology I would have a hard time using in my classroom is the excel project. It's really hard to try to switch things up year to year using that piece of technology.
