Free Week

In chapter six it basically talks about integrating technology into curriculum at schools. It state how technology provides new and interesting ways for students to learn, its also motivational smaller students who haven't worked with computers will do anything for the time the will be allowed to spend on the computers teachers can use this excitement to teach. I also came across a great instructional planning chart called the KWL chart. It stands for KNOW, WANT TO KNOW, and WILL LEARN. This is a great way to boost students learning and a good way for teachers to find out where he or she should start with their curriculum.
During the past couple of weeks I learned how to create a web page using dream weaver and also Microsoft word. This was challenging but practice makes perfect and I am sure I may need to use this knowledge in the future.

No Post for this week.

Chapter @

Chapter 2 to me, was basically going over in depth things that I've already seen in technology. Learning new and interesting things about search engines basically Google and how to use it more effectively. The proper name for an e-mail would be an internet service which was a term new to me because I never thought of an e-mail in that sense before. I have previously learned about assistive technologies prior to reading this chapter. I feel that they're great for the many people with handicaps, those with language barriers, and those with reading problems.
During class I learned how to use the search engine Google more effectively this could help inside and outside the classroom. Being able to teach a child how to properly use this reference the correct way is essential because of the world that we live in today.
I haven't used any types of technologies this week that would be too interesting to discuss on this blog. But some of my friends and I attended Halloween Horror nights this weekend and it was a very exciting trip.
