Week 8 Reflections

It is hard to believe that eight weeks have past.  When you are in a moment it seems to last forever but when you look back you realize it was just a brief time.  I have learned so much over the last past eight weeks.  It is one thing to talk about learning different types of technology and another to utlize  and apply it.  I have learned that technology is not that difficult.  It just takes time to learn it and willingness to try.  I believe I am overwhelmed with the amount of technology available.  It was nice to take a class and just learn some of the many tools available and learn them.  I enjoyed looked at what others in the class have done.  I will continue to found ways to implement technology and make it about of my "world" at school.  I do not know if I will continue to blog.  I like to idea of reflecting on learning but I still perfer journal writing for self reflection on what I am learning.  There are things I like to share with others and get feedback so perhaps one day I will beome a blogger!

Weekly Reflections

This week we had to develop a lesson plan that utilized technology.  I developed a science lesson plan that not only incorporated technology but math and english.  Students will use a class blog to upload a persuaded paper to get city management to invest more in a recycling.  They will then be put into groups to become experts over a specific issues that we are faces today that will effect our quality of life in the future if not dealt with now.  They will then create a way to present the issue with solutions to their classmates using technology of their choice.
