“I love technology!” I think that it was a great idea to have the students have email buddies in a different state. This teaches them so many aspects of technology in a fun, unobtrusive way. It will teach them how to use email, upload pictures to a blog, make blog entries, use digital cameras, and possibly voice threads. I think it is good because you are teaching practical technology use integrated with curriculum. This will make the concepts taught more applicable and memorable. I also liked how they were able to make comparisons between different parts of the United States of America. This is great because the students need to learn about different parts of the world but they are most likely unable to travel and visit these places. I also liked the idea of the class making a book using a computer. This is a fun way for the children to demonstrate when they know and an easy assessment for the teacher to grade.

Week One in Grade One

I really like the school that I am at. They have a great computer lab with a wonderful technology teacher. All students have the chance to go to the lab on a regular basis and the tech teacher has good lessons planned out for each session. I was impressed at how they have nice, new computers and how most classrooms have at least one computer that students can use. They have cool things like microphone necklaces (I am sure they have a more official name than that) and projectors that each teacher has access to. They don't really have a lot of technology other than that unless the teacher buys it herself so that was kind of disappointing. But for an elementary school I think that it is very tech savvy!

I did number one and two for the homework (tech inventory and midcourse evalutation)
