Day 4- 1/28/10

Today in class we joined a Facebook group that has to do with Web 2.0. This follows the INSTE standard 1C. This standard states "promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes." This standard is met by being able to watch a video or reading an article and being able to comment on it easily. In my classroom I might have each student create a Facebook account and join a group like this. I would give them different things they could comment about. I think it is a good idea to invite other teachers and parents because then they could also see some things that are going on in their childs classroom or other classrooms in the school.

Class 3 1/26/10

In this class we joined "Classroom 2.0." By joining this site we met standard 5A. This standard states "participate in local and global learning communities to explore creative applications of technology to improve student learning." This would be met because as a teacher you could get a bunch of creative ways of teaching different subjects. This would help the teacher appeal to different students in different ways. I would use this site a lot in my classroom. I would use it to help get different ideas of teaching different subjects.

Class 2 1/21/10

During this class we created a resume on Google Docs. This follows the ISTE Standard 3C. This standard states "communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats." Doing the resume helped meet the standard in that when we were finished we communicated things that we have done to other students in the class and the teacher. I would use this in my classroom by having each student make a resume after going over things that could go into it. Then after it was posted, I would have each student make a comment on others blogs.

Day One 1/19/10

Today we setup a blog. This meets standard 3B of the ISTE Standards. This standard satates; "collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation." Keeping this blog will help us meet this standard becase as a class we will be able to be creative with our blogs and we will be using digital tools through out this class. Also, to meet this standard we used text messaging and a woordle which was another digital technology tool. Having the students text responses for a woordle would help the teacher and students see what they know about a subject they could be unfamiliar with. I would use the blog in my classroom to help students have a background of using this resource. With the blog they would write different assignments in this blog.
