Hello Everyone, I just wanted to say that I had a wonderful time in class with you and having Dr. Rivera as a teacher has been really great. She gave us a wonderful opportunity to learn this new technology and it has given me confidence to carry on with my studies. Take good care and I wish you all the best.

Jay

Thank you everyone and Happy Holidays

It was nice working with everyone this semester. I wish you all good luck in your future endeavors. I'm sure that I speak for all of us when I say ED638 with Dr. Rivera was so much fun, interesting, and challenging at the same time. Taking this class has given me confidence to tackle on other types of technological projects with a renewed vision. I would like to wish everyone: Dr. Rivera, Kate, Cef, Jay, and Greg a joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year! See you all around.

Happy Holidays

It's been a pleasure working with all of you this semester, I truly enjoyed myself. Thank you for all your help and support Dr. Rivera...I'll look for you on Facebook. I think we should all join Facebook (hint hint--Ceferino!)

Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Make This A Safe Holiday Season

Hope you all have a great holiday season. It was quite a semester and I think we will look back at this course and be thankful that we had the opportunity to learn as much as we did. Thanks to all, especially Dr. Rivera who made this class most enjoyable. See you all around campus.

FINAL FAREWELL

Hi everyone! I couldn't stay away from blogging one last time. I just wanted to thank everyone for a wonderful semester. I wish everyone success in their future endeavors. Happy Holidays:)

Great job yesterday Cef and Kate! I am glad that you two went first last night. I have a clearer picture of how my livetext needs to look like. This whole semester was a blast! I am so glad that I took this course with you all. Hopefully we can all maintain our momentum when it comes to exploring new and interesting types of internet tools, software, and hardware.

Before class started, I felt that there was just a mountain of information to learn. Now I feel that we just reached the top; Greg and I are almost there. We all made it with the proper training and guidance from Dr. Rivera. Thank you Dr. Rivera! It is definitely a pleasure to be a part of your class. See you all tomorrow.

Thumbs Up!

This has truly been an outstanding course for me. I learned a tremendous amount and now feel that I am much more willing and able to tackle new challenges involving new technology. One can never know it all when it comes to keeping up with the daily advances in digital technology and internet resources, but at least I have made huge strides this semester. Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and support. Job well done!

Hi Guys!

I'm so sorry about my mad dash in and out this evening; I promise you my undivided attention Thursday evening. It has really been a pleasure getting to know you all this semester. It is evident that you are all very dedicated teachers. I wish you all a very happy, safe and healthy holiday season...and Happy Birthday Dr. Rivera!

Kate

WE DID IT!

Tonight's last session was so rewarding! I have to say goodbye a class early, but my thoughts are with all of you on the last day. I am so relieved that the class is over. I was overwhelmed with the course syllabus, but I am so ecstatic that I stuck it out. Everything was very useful. I embrace what I have learned in the class and will surely use them in my classroom.

I didn't like my final quote so I'll leave all of you with this one that my guidance counselor posted at my lounge. "The most effective teacher will always be biased, for the chief force in teaching is confidence and enthusiasm." Joyce Carey

Take Care and I will see all of you in the near future!

Happy Holidays

How was Thanksgiving? I hope everyone had their fill of turkey, ham, mash potatoes, and all that other good food. Everyone did an excellent job all semester. I am so surprised that our class is almost done with, I really enjoyed working with you all. See you all tomorrow.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear ED638 Students,

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the holiday with your family, and be sure to give them thanks for supporting you in your academic endeavors. Good luck with completing your final course requirements!

Best regards,
Dr. Rivera

Everybody did a wonderful job on their presentations! Thank you to everyone for putting up with me on mine. The third time is a charm! I'm going to work on my Live Text as soon as I am done with my Diagnostic Case Study for ED643. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Take Care!

I enjoyed everyone's presentations this evening, it was a fun and enjoyable class. I learned a lot from everyone, and got some great lesson ideas for the future. I hope everyone has an easy time uploading to Live Text; we are on the final stretch now! Happy Thanksgiving!

We are almost done. The lesson plans and Google Earth tours were very interesting and show some of the diversity of this fascinating internet tool.

I located a Google Earth manual that is well written. I showed me exactly how to develop a Google Earth tour and save it without a glitch. Access it at the following link if interested: http://ed638blog4greg.blogspot.com/

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Almost There

I think we are almost at the top, just a few more yards. Excellent job this past Friday! I'm glad that we got to be a part of the Language Arts Conference. Great team effort! See you all tomorrow.

I am now on the right track and it took the good Dr. to put me there. So guys I am sorry that I am a little slow but I will get there believe me. You guys are great and I really can not say enough about you and the presentation that you put on the other night. Thank you also for the helpful information that you have gave to me. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

My classmates were great during their presentation and I did learn alot. Dr. Rivera you were right about my posting and I am going to wait until class to let you see and show me how to place my writings from one area to another. But yes I did do what you asked me to do in my writings.
