Day 4 *1.28.10*

Today we joined a face book group called web 2.0 and classroom This is a group where not onlt our class can join but anyone can join and dicuss topics on technology in the classroom and other related subjects. In my opinion this falls under 1C-promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. We were able to reflect on topics on this page by commenting. We can also reply to other comments made on the same topic. This can help students think from other points of view and learn from others. I think this would be a great way to learn. It would make kids not so close minded towards different topics. It also allows teachers to see wheather or not the student understands the topic or not by the way they comment on it.

Day 3 *1.26.10*

On day 3 we join a professional teaching community (classroom 2.0). This is a helpful site for teachers. You can find activities other teachers have done and discuss topics. This activity satifies ISTE NET standard 1- Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity, sub-standard D-model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.Because you can collaborate with other teachers about effective teaching strategies, i feel as though this fits perfectly. You can discuss way of teaching that were effective for you and may be effective for another teacher. I will most likely use this site or a similar site when I begin my teaching experiences bacause it can help me think of the unthinkable activities ( the activities I may not be able to think of something to do ).

Day 2 *1.21.10*

On day 2 we used google documents to create a resume for future jobs. In my opinion this satisfied ISTE NET Standard #1-Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity- sub-standard B-engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. Getting a job is a real-world issue. To get this you must have a resume. Making a resume on google documents can help a student accomplish this goal. I would use this in my class if I taught middle school or high school classes.

Day 1 *1.19.10*

On the first day of class our teacher asked us to take out our phones (which NEVER happens) and text three things we knew about California to a certain number. After we did this, the text appeared on the projector screen. Once everyone had responded to the poll, we developed a woordle on the internet. The woordle took all of the words and basically put them on one screen. The bigger the word the more often it was used.In my opinion this meets Standard 3b. This is Model Digital-Age Work and Learning and collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. This fits this activity because we all put some effort into the project. It used everyone's text on one screen to present every thought we produced. The projector allowed everyone to see this as well.
This is a fun activity and I would use this in my classroom at some point to help present things in a way students could see each others work and thoughts on screen.
