Project 6 Google Docs Form Analysis

Final Project Progress Report

For project #16 i am working with Cody Coleman. Our idea now is to make a video showing the uses of technology in the classroom (all different tyes) while at the same time explaining how technology could help a teacher if he/she decided to use it. So it is sort of an instructional/persuasive video for teachers not using technology yet. Ideas include: the pros of making a blog, using smartboards, skype, blogging in general, google earth and lit trips, twitter, etc.

Blog Post #12

Blog Post #12 Due 11/14

In this class, we have discussed how teachers can use class blogs to keep everybody up to date. Mrs. The Adventures in Mrs. Ripp's Room is a great example.
Go through Mrs. Ripps blog and write a paragraph on what she does or uses to keep her class and parents up to date with the class.

Blog #11

I thought it was a pretty cool video. I thought she did a great job at teaching the students how to use this technology. These students have a better grasp on new technology than most adults. Learning technology like this when you are young will really help them out in the future. She help emphasis the use of technology from the very beginning with the use of Google Earth. I thought it was a pretty cool video.

I am a PE major. I personally was wondering way i really needed this class. I thought that Mrs. Cassidy explained very well how we (PE majors) could use blogging. She said we could use twitter, facebook, and blogs to keep people up to date about when and where people need to meet if there is a scheduling change.

Blog #10

I thought that Dan Brown's tactics are a little outrageous. Even if the the schooling was getting in the way of education, companies look for diploma's and degrees. they look for schooling. In this time, it will be harder for Dan Brown to get a high paying job over some one who as been schooled. Overall, i thought the blog was good. Most of the time in history classes i just get the review sheet and look everything up on Wikipedia and it would be a lot faster than actually looking the terms up in the book. I do think that technology should be intergraded into classes more than they are. Learning things on the internet can add a diversity of ways to learn unlike the traditional classroom.

In Daniel Pink's video, he leaves us with two questions: "What is my sentence" and "Was I better today than yesterday?". I think that these are very good questions that invoke a lot of thinking. They help up unclutter our very cluttered life. I am not sure what my sentence is but i tend to believe that i am better than i was yesterday.
