Blog #3 is due June 30, 2011. This blog entry will focus on what you have learned in this course, how your project experience has helped you, how you see technology being used in your own classroom, what your future plans are for technology in your teaching, and what outstanding issues or questions you think need to be addressed as you continue to learn about and use technology. Use this blog to explore the future of educational technology in your own professional life.
I have learned soooo much in this class that relates to education and how I can use it my classroom. My project has helped me to not be afraid of Webquests. Next year I will be busy integrating a lot of technology in my classroom. For me, digital divide regarding internet access is still a big concern for me, because the people making the decisions on going to e-books live in an area where internet access is very friendly and there are no problems. In the country we are in the beginning stages of getting faster internet and with a recent change in the service provider, it has gotten worse.

Blog Post #2
Blog #2 is due June 27, 2011. In this entry, you will summarize your curricular integration project plans for the class, identify what you’ll need to complete the project, identify what you hope to learn by doing the project, and provide a discussion of how you can connect what you learn and do on the class project to your own teaching practices. An important theme of this blog entry should be how your project connects to your classroom and teaching practices.
My curricular integration project will be linked to Michigan History. The students will create a brochure about a historical place or event that took place in Michigan History after doing a Webquest researching information on the topic. The Webquest and brochure will be culminating project after learning about these historical events or places. Next year the students will actually complete the Webquest.

The comment that students are receiving the best technology at school can be right or wrong. It is right because the schools are able to purchase multiple programs and devices that are state of the art different from home devices, but at home students have more access on the web and are not limited by content restrictions like they are at school. My students constantly walk into the classroom and tell me I have to check out something they found on YouTube or particular website.

Ed Tech Blog #1
http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/2011/06/rethinking-science-fairs-7-ideas.html?showComment=1308593485010#c7176774633802023406
Blog #1- Jen
Blog #1 is due June 21, 2011. The following questions should be addressed in this first entry: (1) what do you hope to gain and learn by taking this class? (2) what experiences do you bring to the class from your own use of technology? (3) what kind of technology integration project would you like to work on in this class? (4) how will what you learn and do in this class connect to what you are doing in your own classroom?
1.) I hope to learn about many different tools that I can use in my classroom that will be more technology friendly next year and that may be possibly FREE to use. I would also like to share with my colleagues sites that we can use in our classroom as a collaboration sites, between our three schools St. Catherine, St. Michael, and St. Joe's.
2.) I do not bring a lot of technology to the class, because our school has not been very tech friendly until recently. Until this past December my classroom was equipped with two apple computers that barely worked and an ancient overhead that overheated with a burned out bulb that could not be replaced. In December, our Home & School Assoc. purchased 30 laptops and mobile cart. In April, I received a large flat screen with docking station and wireless Internet. Next fall we will have interactive whiteboards, Elmo's, projectors, more flat screens, and tablets.
3.) I'm not sure what my technology integration will be. I was thinking about how I can use one of the newer things I will have in the fall, but I am not sure what.
4.) Hopefully what I learn in this class will help me to use a lot of this new technology in my own classroom and be able to help my colleagues.
