Help from my Friends

Things do move fast on the web for an old man like my self but using blog I like that I can talk with people. I have made new comments and posted them. There are some many ways that a person can create and share. This has so much to offer and our class goal seems to be focus and see the various internet tools that we can use. We can even build our own website which is something I did not know how to do until now.

I finally finished my reviews. Check out my blog at this site: http://ed638blog4greg.blogspot.com/.

My Technology Blog

Hi everyone! I just got done with my technology blog despite having a 102 degree fever. Blogging is so much fun regardless if I'm sick. You can view my blog at http://ceftechnology.blogspot.com/

I hope everyone is well and in great health. See you all soon!

Internet Tools Review

I am finally done writing my reviews on Tripod, Google Docs and Learn Out Loud. You can read them here: http://katetechnoblog.blogspot.com/

Like I said in the moodle forum. Having us research technology then use technology to report on our findings was a great way to enhance our knowledge of the Internet. I think the presentation we create for the conference will be very informative and helpful to all educators.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Kate

Good Class Session....

Hello Everyone,

I guess I need to start putting up images to keep pace with the rest of you all....

I enjoy whenever we meet in person. Part of my reasons for taking classes at uog has to do with socializing and meeting different (and intelligent) people. So I do miss the weekly interaction with all of you. However, this is a class on internet technology and I realize that the best way to become technologically proficient is to spend hours and hours and hours on the computer learning different programs, systems, tools, etc.

I thought all of your on-line classroom activities and quizzes were good. Classcentral.com has great potential. Too bad GPSS (particularly Southern HS) does not have the facilities and resources to utilize the internet potential in the classroom(s). I know it will take a lot more time and effort to really get a good grasp of how to actually utilize an online classroom to its full potential.

I also liked viewing the internet tools that were selected for review. In particular, I liked iGoogle and TeacherTube. I think I will investigate them further and start using them on a regular basis.

I hope everybody is keeping our upcoming project in the forefront of thoughts. I am not very proficient at PowerPoint. Hopefully we can all learn how to link slides to websites (instantaneously) and incorporate audio and video into slides. I think we have some good tools to share with the audience and we need to prepare well for this....

Thursday Night

Everyone's Class Central Projects were excellent. I learned a lot with each presentation and how to improve my own in the future. Thanks to everyone for the kind words. Also, what I really enjoyed about last night's class was the internet tools that everyone presented. I really like face to face contact with everyone. It makes the class more worthwhile and enjoyable. I know that our Language Arts Conference presentation will be awesome! See everyone in the next class meeting.

October 2 class

I had a lot of fun in class last night. Everyone's ClassCentral projects were great and most impressive! I think any student would not only enjoy but really benefit from all the lessons that were created.

I appreciate all the supportive comments from you guys, it helped ease my doubts about the lessons I chose.

I'm looking forward to working together on our presentation for the Language Arts Conference. Based on the first review of our internet tools, I think we will be able to come up with a very informative presentation that the audience will appreciate and hopefully feel compelled to choose and use some in their classrooms.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Kate
