First of all I want to know where was this tutorial when I first started Univerisy? Seriously. This would have saved me a lot of time and the dent in my wall where I bang my head in despair would be noticeably smaller! I am so "stealing" this information and will share it with every student who crosses my path.
I found this week's assignment invaluable. Not only am I able to navigate the world wide web with more acuracy, but more importantly, I have been introduced to some pretty cool resources. I feel that it is my duty as a classroom teacher to help my students learn to navigate the internet with efficancy. It has great potential for fantastic learning opportunities, but at the same time I must be aware of the dangers of the web. I must be cognizant of this each time I allow my students computer access.
I was particularly thrilled to learn about social bookmarking. I am on Pintrest and I really enjoy the sharing of information. I never thought about this being a tool for my students as well as a way to collaborate with colleagues. I look forward to using this technological tool in the future. I think the possiblilies of shared information on the internet is endless. I shouldn't have to kill myself reinventing the wheel. My specalty is teaching children, not creating amazing websites that contain the best games ever! (I will have to practice those skills a little more). But a skill I now posess is to find the best educational games ever! and I can share those with my students. It is another example of how technology can assist in learning for all students - no head banging required. Now to find the mud to fix my wall...
