Day 4 1/28

Today we joined facebook for classroom 2.0 discussion, as a social networking site and a discussion site. Being able to comment on current development and discuss ideas, old and new are characteristic of ISTE Standard 1 A, B, C, and D. Use knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
I would hope I would use this to get feedback on questions or techniques I wish to use in the classroom. As a facilitator, I would want feedback from more and less experienced educators and advise from others as well.

1/26

Today we joined Classroom 2.0. This activity contributes to a few of the ISTE Standards, such as 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity, A and D. Which are promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness and model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments. And Standard 2, B, learning experience and assignments. And 5, A and C, which are participate in local and global learning communities to explore creative applications of technology to improve student learning and evaluate and reflect on current research and professional practice on a regular basis to make effective use of existing and emerging digital tools and resources in support of student learning.
These are given by our access to classroom 2.0 and learning form other teachers learning experiences.
I will use this in inquiring on how to use technologies and what to use in the classroom

Today, we created a resume on google documents. Which help with 3rd standard, A, C, and D. Which are the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations, communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students using a variety of digital-age media and formats and model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools. Creating this resume is a really good idea. Now students have their resume accessable at any time they have acomputer. To be able to creat documents and save them to the internet with easy is going to make school and work much easier, since my computer crashed and I lose flash dives like ear rings. I am plese with the new discovery of internet documents that are easily accessable.

I'm not completly sure how I will use this as a history teacher, but i will recomend to students to type thier papers on these types of documents. Just to have them avalable and accessable when students have time to work on them, or when they need the document in a hurry. This could eliminate the problem of losing flash drives or papers.

First Day 1/19

The First day we created a blog and started setting the page up. I am under the belief that this activity works with the 3rd ISTE Standard, Model Digital-Age Work and Learning. The 3rd Standard exhibits teachers using knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society.
I would say that D, would be the more exhibited quality of this standard, which is, model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning.

Creating a blog for the first time opens me, as a student, to being able to collect research pages and relevant site to one page that I may access in one place. The use of linking relevant sites and commenting on our evaluation and analyze of the readings and other research found exhibits the use wonderfully.

I may use a blog for my History class, to encourage students to explore research and comment on questions and their own views and conclusions on subject matter.
