Day Four January 28

Today in class we joined the facebook group web 2.0 and schools. We made comments about articles that had to do with texting lingo ruining students english language. We also watched a video about a man that wrote a book about our generation being dumb due to technology. The standard most closely related to this activity is 1B (Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity) engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. By watching the debate video on youtube we were looking at real-world issues that people face today due to everyones different opinions on technology and how they view it helping or harming. Watching debates on different peoples thoughts can help you think about things in a different way and look outside the box.

Day Three January 26

Today in class we joined Classroom 2.0. The standard that was closely related to this activity was 3 (Model Digital-Age Work and Learning) B (collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation) I had no clue before that things like this were around and it would be nice to bounce ideas off of other professionals and get ideas from them. Sometimes looking at things in someone else's perspective helps me to get other ideas that are different and more creative.

Day Two January 21

In our second day of class we used google documents to create a online resume and then published it. The standard that I thought went along with this assignment was 2 (Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments) A (design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity) I would use something like this with older students in the 4th or 5th grade to create a pretend resume to see what one will look like when the time comes. It is easier to use a template because it tells you exactly what goes into the different parts.

Day One January 19

On the first day of class we began to set up a blog for us to use through out the semester. By doing this it met the NETS for Teachers standard number 3 Model Digital-Age Work and Learning Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers: B (collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation.) Using a blog met this standard because we will be interacting with other people in the class and the professor. Writing in a blog will help to get my point across and my feelings about a certain subject or idea. I would use this when I become a teacher for children to use as a typed journal of the day's activties opposed to writing on paper.
