Day 4 1/28/2010

Today in class we joined a discussion group as a class on Facebook which is refered to as Web 2.0 and Schools - Discussion . The link discussion allowed the class to voice their opinion in informal language and their digital communications skills. I think this was a very unique question to ask a college class, considering majority of us use digital skills daily. The responses were all very simular through the discussion board. This topic relates to the ISTE nets 3-B, which means people/students collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. Facebook is a social network that allows member to use digital tools, and resources to communicate. I would consider using a lesson like this in a classroom with older students maybe to discussion an important argumentive topic to see the different view point to discuss.

Classroom 2.0 is very handy in the fact students are able to access and learn from other people who are in the same situation or have experienced. I personally learn well from others, so this website offers alot of helpful information to me. By reading other peoples input on situation helps me think more about a topic and can sometimes have a positive affect on the way I feel about an issue. This goes in relation to the ISTE nets 1-D. This shows that the model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.Collaberating with other students and colleagues is going to be very helpful in growing into a better learner.

Day 2 1/26/2010

By using google documents I was able to create a resume. I found that this document was very helpful do to the sense that this is an application that will one day come in handy when I apply for a job. This task applied to the ISTE nets 1-B. This means that students engage in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. This is a good lesson plan because it allows students to use technology to help create something for a real life situation. I would use this same lesson plan if I were a teacher, becuase I found it very helpful, and I feel that it is something importatnt students should learn. To get a professional resume created can tend to be expensive. Also when students are able to create their own resumes they will have a quicker, cheap way of applying for jobs.

Day 1 1/26/ 2010

Today in class we discussed how the ISTE Net related to the blogs that have been created. I feel like after doing the readings, and posting blogs allows a group discussion to occur. This also promotes 3-B. Through 3-B students collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. During class we discussed a wordle, Which allowed students to collaberate over a topic. Therefore the blog allows all of these people to communicate through one area, to discuss a certain topic.
