Awesome technology

TPACK was a great break down for seeing steps in planning. It would allow a teacher to analyze 1. what's my objective, 2. which skill am I going to use to achieve my objective, and 3. what awesome technology is available for my use. Each of these steps are critical for a efficient lesson planning process. Streamlining the process in this way makes planning much easier for beginning teachers.

I played at the microbe zoo and it was awesome (I need to stop using that word). When you clicked on different exhibits it would break down what it was teaching, and if you clicked further it had real pictures of the different bacteria. You could explore about dirt, or ponds, but I explored about the snack bar. In the snack bar it talked about food that's produced with the help of bacteria. Really interesting!

More patience

It would help a lot if there were 1) a definition and 2) an explanation for what a RSS reader was on the "Adding a RSS feed" page. It was my first time using the RSS feed, although I've known they existed for a long time - since the official Twilight web page added one. But, I've always had enough time to browse all the website - never needed a RSS feed to show me what's new. It was very informational to find out that Firefox and Google provide readers for you to use. It would have saved me a lot of stress if I was told that the blog is the reader so I just add the gadget and link to the feed...sometimes I need things spelt out.

Another tiff, what's everybody's usernames for the delicious website? Mine is d3b7a so you can add me as one of your friends. And my e-mail for the book club is debrabee@gmail.com. Will you all add a comment to my post so I can add you all as friends.

Otherwise, I loved learning about the copyright information. Plus, I found losts of websites I think will be useful for the future. As a side note, I made a group on Facebook "the future elementary teachers of america" and have links to all the awesome websites there also.

What I know about technology...

So this will probably be pretty short.  This is my first blog on my first blog.  I have several e-mails and enjoy surfing the internet.  I recently worked at an awesome Child Development Center where I was thought of as very technology-savvy because I created an e-mail for my classroom and sent pictures out to the parents.  (I know, pretty awesome) I'm proficient in most programs, but...

The greatest thing I learned from technology is Patience!
