One of the best things about the Info. Tech Masters program is the ability to be exposed to, and interact with technology tools.  I have learned so much in my first 4 terms in the program and really enjoy interacting with so many educational resources.  This learning has spurred me to create a blog for my classroom that can serve as a resource for my students.  While it is very much still a work in progress (I have only just started) each day it gets closer to being useful.  The goal is that…

Hello All!                                                                                                                  So as my title implies I want feed back from others who work in the field of education. I want to know how you manage being sick? How do you keep from falling behind? There is only so much you can expect a sub to do when you are out right? I came down with some kind of Flu type illness this last week and it wiped me out! Luckily I only missed 2 days of school because…

I am so excited to start using web 2.0 tools in my classroom. I think that they can be very valuable for enhancing student learning. I am always looking for ways to use technology with my students. My biggest concern with using any technology in the classroom is not knowing how to use it effectively. In my school, our district made it a priority to put a SmartBoard in every classroom, but despite several request we have never received any training on how to use them. Has anyone else had this…

Welcome to my Classroom 2.0 page!

I love educational technology and am sold on using it in education (in balance with other things). I look forward to learning a lot while I am here!

There is a lot to see here in Classroom 2.0. I find myself getting sidetracked with everything there is to read and learn. I am looking forward to discovering more about what Classroom 2.0 has to offer. 

So as I start to explore various options for organizing and expanding my professional network, I come to classroom 2.0.  Wish me luck.

 

I really like the educational site that ning provides. What really caught my attention though is the safety feature of having to be approved to use the site. That is straightforward and you even have to provide a reason why you want to join which I have never seen before. I feel like for education purposes it is a good tool, it took me forever to figure out how the safety features of myspace and facebook worked it seems like they are almost an after thought of the sites. I also like the…

Web 2.0 has numerous functions allowing people to collaborate sharing ideas, tools, and resources. The ability to link websites, blogs, and Twitter accounts all on one page creates a great resource.I am excited to explore the classroom 2.0 functions more and examine the sites accessibility with http://wave.webaim.org/toolbar/. 

Social media has been an invaluable tool for my Yearbook staff over the past year and a half. In 2012 we began using an online design/page layout tool provided by our publisher Herff Jones. This made it possible for the students to upload pictures and work on their page layouts from home, but, I discovered that many of them needed an extra push to actually stay focused and on task.

Facebook to the rescue! We created a private group on Facebook (and I created an…

We know students in online courses can feel isolated, right? They don’t have the easy access to campus-based support services, faculty, or even other students if they just want to vent! While student retention in online classes has improved greatly in the last decade, a recent study from the Community College Research Center at Columbia University reminds us that “Community-college students enrolled in online courses [still] fail and drop out more often than those whose coursework is…
