Week 6

I thought that this week's activity were resourceful. Everyone needs to learn how to promote themselves. The brochure wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. After I saw the example, it came very easy. My brochure is very informing. It is very easy to read and I believe it will break the barrier between a student and teacher. This is a way that the parents and the students can get to know me. The only thing that I believe that I need to go over is the teaching philosophy.
I like desktop Publishing. My computer has the older version, but it still is helpful. The outlines that it provides are very easy to re-create. You can also make newsletters, invitations, certificates, and lots of other things. I believe that I would make certificates for my class. I believe that recognition of good deeds and success are important. So I would most definitely make certificates.

Week 4 Inspiration

Inspiration is a nice program, this week is the first time that I heard about it. I like this program. It would be very useful for teachers. It would be helpful to kids that have problems writing and doing projects. It is very easy to maneuver.
I believe that outlines and powerpoints would be the best way to use writing and technolgy in the classroom. Both are very distinct, you can provide the student with only the important information. The best ways to help children with writing assignments, are giving both positive and negative feedback. Feedback is very important. It allows students to learn what they are doing wrong and what things are good. Blogging is the best technology tool to use when providing feedback.

Week 3 Reflections

I really have learned a lot this week. Actually the last couple of weeks. I've heard about blogs but wasn't familiar with them. Blogging is fun, it allows us to interact with each other in a modern fashion. This week I learned how to use bookmarks. Bookmarks made retrieving sites easier. I also learned how to narrow down search terms, so that information is esier to retrieve.
