Indeed its Publisher

Things went interesting enough. The publisher stuff is simple enough, but if your not familar with the material, it can be a little interesting to figure out. Creating a brochure wasn't very hard because of the templates. I need to review and better understand how to use the templates to create exactly what I need.

Thy Powerpoint

The powerpoint is going well, a majority of the slides that I have been assigned are almost finished. My partner and I are working on the role of technology in classrooms. I like my partner because I trust he will finish his portion with no problem. Having a partner helps me work more efficiently and effectively.

How Bout Them Games

Educators should always try to match the technology they use especially in the classroom. I really don't enjoy the idea of using instant messaging in a school setting because students have a hard time concentrating. They can distract away from the true material being taught. There are some benifits of text-based comminication, but I prefer face-to-face communication because a student needs to feel like they are the center of attention in the classroom setting. I am not super up to date with the whole podcast situation, but it seems to me that it is nothing more than another technological barrier in the classroom. I think that using educational games in classrooms with younger students is a great educational tool, but I think that trying to apply it to older student classroom settings is a waste of time.

---Del.icio.us---

I did a lot of looking and thinking as it pertained to the whole social bookmarking theme and overall it kind of confused me. After awhile of figuring out what was going on it made sense, but i'm not sure how to successfully applicate it to the classroom. The idea of social bookmarking is a great idea, but overall i'm not a big fan of such. Maybe someday I can sit down and make sense of it and applicate it, but probably not anytime soon.
