Online Class 11/14

Thank you for all of you that presented and sorry that Emily had trouble. I like the social aspect of all the tools and the ability you have to collaborate with other coworkers. I can't wait to see all of the other projects and to present mine. Have a good Thanksgiving!

Face to Face 10/24

This was a good time hearing about everyone's progress on their projects. I want to thank Anita for helping me with my website and it is coming along nicely. I hope to use it in the class I will be student teaching in. I have changed to PB wiki from wetpaint, which isn't as easy as wetpaint but I really like the site without the ads. I hope to continue with this project and make it a useful resource for my teaching career.

WetPaint Stopped Free Ad Removal For Educators

Just found out that WetPaint is no longer offering free ad removal for educators. In August they decided to stop and now it is about 20 dollars to remove ads. The educators that have already set up an account still will have ads removed but no more free ad removal for new accounts. I think I will start a new wiki somewhere else because the ads are messy and annoying (not really good for a class wiki).

Web Conf. 10/10

This was my first web conference and I kind of enjoyed it. I like that you can be at your home and meet with others to talk about education and technology. I think the other chapter presenters did a wonderful job explaining their chapters and helped me to understand blogs and rss feeds better. Thank you Anita for setting this up.

Second Session: OTEN Conference

I have to say that there are so many things about technology that I do not know. This conference has helped though to gain some knowledge about how to use technology in my future classroom. As a teacher you have to make sure you are not just using technology to be using it and you have to make sure that the student is still using their critical thinking skills and not just using technology without using their minds first.

Wikis

This is my new wiki which is under construction. The
ads can be removed if you are using the wiki for school
(it has to be for kids above the age of 13).

First Session 9/12

This class is going to help me tremendously. I know a little about technology but blogging, wikis, and other things that are out there are very new to me. This has been a long day probably because it is the end of the week. Thank you Anita for helping us learn more about technology for teachers.

I just started my first blog and I feel very "tech-y".
