Bye for Now...

The end is Finally here! It was a pleasure having you all in class with me. I wish everyone luck with their finals, future classes, and in your classroom when you make it their! So goodbye for now...

Things I have learned!

Blogging, Podcast, Videocast, Skype, igoogle, Foliotek, Google Gadgets, Picasa, Twitter, Delicious, iTunes, ACCESS, ALEX, and the use of html tag modifiers are just a few things I learned this semester. We covered so much this semester. I enjoyed everything I learned, I don't recall being bored at all. I have no regrets about anything I learned in this class. I did get excited every time we skyped someone. Technology is so powerful. I can say I'm technologically literate now thanks to Dr. Strange! Thx for everything!

Project 6 Personal Learning Network

Before this class I had never heard of a Personal Learning Network, but thanks to Dr. Strange I had the opportunity to create one. I established my PLN through Blogspot.com, Facebook, Twitter, and Delicious. MY most used PLN is blogger. Through Blogger I have had a chance to chat with Mr. Needleman, Dorthy and her class from New Zealand, Jabiz Raisdana (Kaia's father), etc. I've even got a chance to view my classmates reactions and comment on them. Had I not taken this class I would have never experienced these exciting opportunities or known the power of blogging. Through Facebook I've left messages on classmates profiles pertaining to school work, posted a question and recieved feedback instantly, I'm even a friend of my art teacher Dr. Baggett. Thank you Dr. Strange for giving me the opportunity to create a PLN. I will continue to develope my PLN after this class.

Things Teachers Should and Shouldn't Do

After viewing these two list by Doug Johnson Seven Stupid Mistakes and 7 Brilliant Things Teachers do with Technology, and a list of New Classroom rules by Education Innovation. I thought the two most important out of the three list were. Ignoring the intrinsic interest of tech use in today's kids and thinking Technology in schools will go away.
I think both of those are two really stupid mistakes to make. If your student's love technology why not incorporate into your classroom to catch their attention and keep them focused. Another thing is technology in general. People please wake up it's not going anywhere any time soon. Actually it's growing faster and faster by the day! You can either get with the program or get left far behind!

Believing, Inventing and Implementing Technological Pedagogies

I think Anthony Capps' did a great job at breaking down what Miller was trying to say. He went above and beyond in this blog Click here to see, and I really enjoyed reading it.

My Presentation

At The Teacher's Desk

I found At The Teacher's Desk to be a interesting, but useful website. On this website teachers experiment in professional learning, collaborate and share ideas.

I will keep this website in mind when I enter the teaching world. Hopefully I can get solutions to my problems by participating in this blog, or maybe I can help someone else. Thanks for sharing this website with us Dr. Strange, I look forward to using it!
