Assignment #4: Technology Project

Mr. Solomon's Health and Fitness Class

The features of technology that I have used for my technology project are a class blog, a podcast recording, and a SmartBoard Power Point presentation.

Some of the issues that I ran into while creating this project was the time it took to finish all of the phases. It took me a while to get started and to put together this much work and materials took longer then expected. Also loading the Smartboard presentation onto the blog took a while to figure out and made it tougher then i thought it was going to be.

This project was a great project to end with because it allowed for us to learn so many different skills that we could put together on this project to make it useful for our future. I will be able to use this project in my future health and fitness classes. In each health and fitness class it is important to understand how to react to emergency situations with first aid and CPR training. I will be able to use the blog which has lists of helpful websites that can help students understand more information and i will also be able to use my smartboard presentation to help collaborate my teachings and allow for students to both understand the materials but interact with the materials.
