Post #6

Hello again! Chapter 6 was well ....it is what it is. I think the the integration of technology into the classroom is great! Kids today are used to HD tv, Xbox and wii. As a teacher it would be very hard to capture and maintain the attention of students without technology. Things such as You tube make it where instead of reading Dr. Kings I have a dream speech to students they can watch Dr. King give! technology is wonderful!

Last class we did wikis. I learned a new web address and um well not much after that. Well I did learn that I don't like working on group projects. It takes so much longer than it would if we were just able to do an individual project. I don't think we get more out of the assignment in a group. I know I will have to work with others in my job but that is my job this is just a class. If the objective is to learn how to use technology group work seems less effective to me but hey that is just my opinion.

Well I have only 2 weeks till my sister-in law's wedding. It is in St. Augustine, I think it might be fun. I am so glad she picked black bridesmaid dresses. I picked out these Very loud barbie pink dresses fro my wedding.... My bridesmaids did not like it but my thoughts were.... they are part of the decorations.. : )

Group projects do take longer. I have had both good and bad experience from doing group projects. Think positive about the wedding and try to have fun.

lol thats great...and they pretty much are there for decoration. Its your wedding, so you should get to dress them anyway you want. lol.

Part of the problem was that the group aspect of the project was pretty tacked on...the only collaborative part was the first wiki page. It really should have just been an individual effort.
