Week Four: February 9-15 (Classroom 2.0)

The assignment for this week was to evaluate a software using an evaluation form. There were other different sites given that we could look at for further references. The site was pretty interesting to look at. Classroom 2.0 was really easy to understand. The site gives you great information to start and better understand with the digital dialog world. This site is very helpful to me as a future teacher because it will help the students better understand about technology and why it is important to have technology be a part of the learning environment. I believe that technology does open up learning in a whole new different levels. Students will be able to interact digitally. I would rate this assignment to maybe being a 7 because the site was cool and all, but I just wish there would be more of variety selected upon the different assignments future teachers would have in mind.

Week Three: February 2-8 (Blogger.com)

In class, we went onto this other website called blogger.com, I had to create my very own gmail accountant in order for me to sign into the website. I got my new email down and proceeded to creating and designing my very own blog. We got to choose different designs that best described us, but it had to be professional and educational for other people to see. We then had to upload a profile picture to complete the uniqueness of our blogs. After, we then started writing in our blogs about our different days being in the Ed Tech class.

Week Two: January 26- February 1 (Bubbl.us)

The first time I stepped in Ed Tech class was the 2nd week of school. We were learning how to use different websites such as wordle.com and bubble.us website. Before we got into learning how to use wordle, Mr. Jenkins had us write positive word descriptions of each person in the classroom, but the catch was to do it behind their backs so the rest of the students can see how much words were being repeated to describe them. We finally got into the site and we learned how to customize it with different fonts, colors and backgrounds. After, we got into the other website, which is bubble.us where we did web diagrams of which is important in the classroom. Technology was the main topic was what an effective classroom should have. I listed many things that make up a perfect classroom to me. There were students and teachers, faculty and staff. As well as the different school materials and higher authority to help the school be on task. 


Both sites were very helpful. As a future teacher, I could use these websites to help create an organizer for future class activities. It can always be a great way to plan out future lesson plans as a teacher and so on. I would rate the software  used as an 8 because it was very convenient for classroom activities. Students can also be creative in their own individuality.
