CREATING A LESSORON PLAN WAS VERY EXCITING IT WAS A FORSHADOW OF WHAT IS TO COME IN THE FUTURE. THE LESSON I CREATED WAS A INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED LESSON PLAN IS WAS DESIGN THAT 15 MINUTES OF THEE 40-50 MINUTES CLASS TIME IS DESIGNATED TO TECHNOLOGY. THE LESSON MADE FOR A GYM CLASS WAS A GREAT SUCCESS. GYM IS ABOUT EDUCATING CHILDREN ABOUT THEIR BODY AND HEALTH, THUS THE IMPORTANCE OF INCORPORATING TECHNOLGY IN THIS CLASS IS AS IMPORTANT AS PLAYING VOLLEYBALL.
I SIGNED UP FOR THE CLRN WHICH IS A GOOD SITE AND RESOURCE THAT ALL TEACHERS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO. IT PROVIDES THE NECESSARY RESOURCES AND TOOLS NEEDED TO ALL TEACHERS. IT GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO ALIGN YOUR LESSON PLANS TO THE VARIOUS STANDARDS THAT BEST SERVES THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS. THE FACT THAT CLRN ROVIDES BOTH ELECTRONIC LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT RESOURCES GIVES TEACHERS AND USERS AN EDGE TO BECOME THE BEST OF THE BEST. MOSTLY IMPORTANT IS THAT IT'S FREE AND EASY TO SIGN UP.

REVIEW OF COURSE FINAL REFLECTIONS
I LOVE THIS COURSE ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT BECAUSE I NEVER HAD TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER OR BLOG BEFORE, BUT IT TURN OUT TO BE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. I LEARN SO MUCH THAT I TRULY FEEL WILL MAKE ME A BETTER TEACHER. I NOW HAVE A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY IN OUR 21ST CENTURY SCHOOL AND NOW I AM CONFIDENT THAT I CAN UTILIZE THESE TECHNOLOGY EFICIENTLY THANK PRO. LUONGO YOU TRULY BROUGHT OUT THE BEST TEACHER IN ME
INTRRODUCING THE BOOK
THE VIDEO ON INTRODUCING THE BOOK WAS FUNNY BUT SO REAL TO THINK IF WE DID NOT HAVE COMPUTERS EMAIL, FLASH DRIVE INSTEAD OF FLOPPY IS SO FRIGHTENING. I PERSONALLY PREFER TO READ THE MATERIAL ONLINE THAN FROM ONE BOOK. INTERNET ACCESS GIVE VARIETY UNLIKE A BOOK WITH ONE BIASED AUTHOR POINT OF VIEW. THE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT IN TODAYS SOCIETY NOT ONLY MADE US SOCIAL UT GLOBAL BEINGS. THE KNOWLEDGE YOU GAIN THRU ITS USE IS FAR BETTER AND RELIABLE THAN THE KNOWLEDGE YOU GAIN READING A SPECIFIC BOOK THAT IF A FLOOD LIKE NOAH DAYS COME WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE
THE SCHOOLS WE HAVE TODAY
The schools we have today not all of them but majority fits the article "if we didnt's have the schools we have today, would we create the schools we have today." the article is really a brain rattler in such a way that i truly but some effort into analyzing the schools that i have taughted in or personally familiar with. truly they would not be the schools i create. i agree with the article that technology has giving student and teacher and edge without limits to the knowledge they can attain. but a teacher with limited capacity, resources and knowledge of the use of modern day technology i feel cannot perform his/her duty effectively. therefore i agree that the way teachers themselves arebeing taught need to be change. this online course is a perfect example as i have learn to do things like blog something i would not have exposed myself to otherwise

web page building
the web page building was so simple and fun. the scholastic site actually walk you through the steps one by one. i also discover how to embedded a video on my webpage. word of advice have fun doing it.
web based educational resource
i think that having a website geared towards your specific class or subject area is a brilliant idea. it not only keep your students informed but parents and fellow co-workers what going on in your class. in this society we live in everything is technology have a web based resource allows parent and student to be on top of their game. as with any relationship communication is the key and this is a perfect way to communicate and share the same information with everyone.
webpage
i created my webpage it turned out so great that i am so proud of myself. plse fell free to check it out you can login as a parent or student the user id is talented_2 and the password is students. you must first go to www.scholastic.com/mypage. i hope you enjoy
i beleive kidspiration is a useful tool not because i looked at it, but because i experimented with it. i download the free trial and allow my neice and nephews to use it to help wtih their homework and math and it work out perfectly. they were more enthusiastic t see that learning can be colorful an fun. it improve their understanding and also was so user friendly i spend little or no time explaing to them what to do.

WEB-QUEST
WEB-QUEST I BELIEVE IS A POWERFUL TOOL FOR STUDENTS ESPECIALLY IN THIS ERO WE LIVE IN. ALL SOURCES ARE GOING MAIN STREET INTERNT. WEB-QUEST NOT ONLY ALLOWS A STUDENT TO CONDUCT A GUIDED RESEARCH BUT IT GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO USE THE INTERNET NOT JUST FOR CHATS BUT IT GIVES STUDENTS A CHANCE TO DO RESEACH USING THE INTERNET.

INTENET SAFETY
Internet safety is the most important tool students should learn before they are allowed to use the internet. The videos on internet safety present in a fun way the do's and dont of using the internet. Most students use the internet without any knowledge of the predators that are lying wait online for them. as the video reveal if anyone makes a child uncomfortable in any way while on the inertnet they should disconnect and report them right away. what i was most impressed wtih on internet safety is that it emphasized if you report a predator once and nothing is done keep reporting them until someone listen. Most predators are persistent therefore it is important to teach our children to be persistent when standing up for their rights. it is their right to be on the internet free from predators
NJCCC STANDARDS
The NJCCC standards gives a good understanding of technology in students educational process. The standards outline and give detailed information of the knowledge a student should have about technology and its usage at an age appropriate level. The article NJCCC also reveals how student will learn the natural aspects of technology as well as its impact in society. This learning of technology will be grasped at different age level, that by the end of high school a student will have enough knowledge about technology to make the progressing and fuctional adults in society
NETS
the site www.iste.org is a good source for information related to the NETS standards. i discovered that NETS for students works hand in hand with NETS for teachers. A good example of this is stdent creativity and innovation, a student cannot demonstrate creativity and innovation unlessa teacher facilitate and inspire students learning and creativity.
