Thing 3

As I looked through the different blogs I kept thinking to myself how can I use this in my classroom. Using it with parents is one way, however, I already have a website which is quite functional so I feel it may be of better use with my students. I would like to get started using this with my book clubs in class. Maybe have my students find another group of students who are reading the same book or even studying the same content in class to respond to. This could actually be done as a homework assignment for some or during our computer lab time. Constructing a class blog page would be interesting to start to have communication with students from home about various topics throughout the year. I actually think a lot of my students would really enjoy blogging their teacher from home :)

Thing 1 and 2

Well I have recently just signed up for this course and am amazed at all of the things that you can do with portions of technology. I guess my problem is access to computers for students and having the capability of using these forms of technology for students use. I am often told that our network can not handle specific programs and was told that I wasn't able to do podcasting so I am hoping to find ways to use this through another source. I am looking forward to bringing my teaching alive and having students create more hands on sources of their learning using technology in the classroom.
