Reflection #8

We had another guest speaker tonight, Jon Corippo.  He had a lot to say about his school and how they have incorporated technology and given their students the opportunity and resources they need to be at that school.  I also liked the way they have given the students rules, and that all faculty and staff members follow the same guidelines to enforce such rules.  We also learned about copyright and the fair uses of it.  I have to agree with my fellow classmates, that there is a lot to know about copyright laws.  One thing that was repeated over and over, 'When in dought, ask!'

Reflection #7

Tonight we met Diane Main who works at Harker School.  I've had the opportunity to visit Harker School during a workshop that I attended and was amazed at their facilities and the talented staff that works their.  I think we did face time with Diane, I was pretty amazed at how she was able to share her desk top with our class and switch back and forth with viewing her desk top and then seeing her.  I really thought that was neat! She showed us how to create a website.  I'm still not to sure on how to do it, but know that  Andrew will walk us through it. Again, feeling a little overwhelmed with all these new tools being offered to us. 

Reflection #6

Learned how to create a powerpoint using google.  I like the fact that I can share with anyone that I allow to view or edit the powerpoint.  What I am still finding a little tricky is how to take a full picture of a document and then inserting it into a presentation. I also learned how to make a venn diagram and a brain storm tool.  Teacher has given us a lot of tools and for us who are digital immigrants we need to really sit, choose what tools will benefit us so that we can learn to use them.
