Based upon my own teaching experiences, instructional media formats that I find interest in are computers, Internet, blogs, wikis, and Google docs and I hope to explore more. I am interested in exploring the virtual world, but time won't permit me to do so.
I currently use various instructional methods with these instructional media formats such as lecture, open-discussion, demonstration, and group work. When lecturing, I try to teach in segments in effort to afford students the opportunity to ask questions and allow the information to “sink in”. I usually present the information, demonstrate the concept, allow students to try it own their own, guide them in their practice, and assess their comprehension of the concepts. Sometimes I implement a group activity to reiterate the concepts covered.
In the future, I would love to have a hand-held device that each student can have at their desk that will allow them to enter anonymous questions or comments as well as log in answers to questions.

I wish there was enough time in the day that I could learn about all the different technologies. I am hoping to become the technology teacher at my school next year. I am hoping that will give me more experience using smart boards, einstruction, and neos. Neos are small keyboards that students can use at their desks. Students can answer questions, write papers, and take AR tests using these keyboards. The neo may help you with having students entering questions and comments anonymously.
