    Hi Elisa,
    I am a Social Studies technology teacher from Brooklyn, Ny. I am currently taking graduate courses for a Masters in Computer Technology. One of my courses require me to network with educators in other countries to find out some information. I would appreciate if you can answer some questions.
    What subject area do you teach? What grade level are your students? How do you use technology with your students? What technology activities have you assigned? Are your students 21 st Century learners and how do you identify with their learning style or what experiences have you had teaching them?
    Thanks
    Penny

    Hi Elisa.

    Thanks so much for helping me with my project questions.
    Teaching technology is always trying to find new ways to use technology to change with the times and create projects that are more progressive. I use the SmartBoard's already made lessons from the internet resource site and they are helpful for teaching or enrichment and creating lessons in notebook( their version of making slides).

    I don't feel comfortable with having my students blog yet because I think they need to know PowerPoint which is generic and could be applied to any type of presentation. Right now, I really like the program i-movie. If you wanted to create podcasts, the best way is to use i-movie(mac). You can make photos into movies and export as podcasts very easily. It is simple for children to work on.
    If I have any more ideas I will forward them to you.

    Dear Ms. Waingort,

    My name is Dominic Bridgers and I  am a graduate student at the University of Maryland University College in the Instructional Technology master’s program. My current class focuses on the global perspectives of technology integration in education. I am reaching out to you to discuss the importance of technology in the classroom and how you incorporate or would like to use it in your classroom. 

    I would like over a period of time get to know you, your educational system, and the use of technology that is used within your school or district. Feel free to reach out to me via email. I look forward to hearing from you. 

    Thank you,

    Dominic
