Welcome to the EDL 518 blog. You will use this blog to post your reflections after every class. To receive total credit for this part of the class you will post a minimum of six blog postings and/or comments. I hope you enjoy the class and that your reflections will show me and the other bloggers what you have learned and what you have found to be useful in your current assignment.
Reviewing the technology plan was interesting. It was nice to see that having a vision is required. Although it doesn't ensure that the vision will be followed, it's a start. In my experience, not having a vision has caused particular programs and initiatives to fail.
ReplyDeleteMy family is worried that this class will make me become a techno geek. I hope so!!!!!
The fist day of class was very interesting. I learned all about avatars and second life. I told my wife (she is a third grade teacher)about siftables. She instantly came up with numours ways she could use them in her classroom.
ReplyDeleteI really thought I had a good handle on the whole technology thing, but when we were discussing different kinds of technoloy through the visible and invisible exercise, I felt that there was still so much I did not know! And I realized that possiblities with technology in the classroom were endless. I kept thinking about ideas for intergrating technology with instruction.
ReplyDeleteI felt I also learn quite a bit about tech plans. I never really knew they contained so much information. I think ours is only a couple of pages!It made me really think about the importance of documenting all information to show the accountablity of the district.
