3 Things that I learned:
When using the internet in a classroom the teacher needs to be sure to monitor the web and action that goes on, but they can also use the web as a teaching tool. An art teacher per say could use the virtual museum to show their class different pieces of art, and museums from around the world. This is called an electronic field trip. It is up to the teacher on how to use this tool but it is a good use without having to leave the classroom. For individual learners they have web based tutorials. With these the teacher is able to teach the class via the web, but also when the teacher instruction stops; the web will pick up the instruction. This way the students are able to learn at their own pace. For teacher learning there are websites, blogs, wiki’s and other helpful material via the web. This way teachers are able to use resources, and insights from other teachers without leaving the classroom. This will help teachers make their instruction differentiated.
2 Connections I can make:
As an English teacher I would use the use of blogs in my classroom. This way my students can use the web from where ever they are, upload their documents, and be done. This is a good way to go paperless, and to ensure that the students will not ‘lose’ their class work. I would also want to use the googledoc system. This way my students can come together in their own environment and make changes to group presentations, they can all be working on it all at once, and I will be able to access it right away.
1 Question:
Do schools offer an internet class for teachers to take to get used to, and learn new things about the internet so that they can integrate it into their classroom?

Chapter 7 Reflections
3 Reflections:
There are new things are being introduced to the internet every day. While using the internet as a teacher it is important that the internet be monitored. Whether I am on it in the classroom or if my students are on it. I need to watch for sites that pop up that have inappropriate material in them. Schools good with blocking the sties that might be inappropriate, but this is the world wide web, anything is able to come up. With internet hackers and online predators, anything is bound to get through. Along with predators come viruses. A virus can attack a computer through anything, epically email. As a teacher I need to watch that my students do not use internet chat rooms, or e mail while at school.
2 Connections I can make:
Students can use the internet in my classroom while doing a research project on the topic we may be learning about. The internet will help with this research, because it will make looking for information easy, and more information than a single book. While doing research on the internet I will teach them the sites to go to and the sites to stay away from. In order to search for materials accurately I will teach them how to use advanced search engines.
1 Question I have:
It says on page 227 that in order for a teacher to teach on line courses, I have to have a degree in technology. Is this true? Did I read it wrong? Could I use the teaching degree that I have to teach on line classes?

Chapter 6 Reflections
3 Reflections:
Using Youtube media in the classroom is a good thing, because it gets the students engaged in the topic that the teacher is teaching for the day. This type of showing interactive media in the classroom is called Hypermedia. Not to be confused with Multimedia. Multimedia is just as interactive as hypermedia, but it not a direct link from the internet. Multimedia is usually clips from movies or sounds. Now that we live in the 21st century computer programmers and web designers are making more and more interactive hypermedia sites for teachers to use in their classroom.
2 Connections I can make:
As an English teacher I can use links on the internet to help get my students engaged with the subject. I can find videos on the internet and show them in my classroom via smartboard. Students will also be able to find their own videos and use the smartboard that is in the classroom. The smartboard will help them be interacted with me, and their peers in front of the class. With the web newer I can have the students create blogs. The blogs will take place of paper and pencil writing and tangible note books. With the smartboard in the class the students will be able to see and view other students blogs.
1 Question:
Am I as a teacher able to have students create blogs, and assign them homework using their blogs?

Where's the Beef Reflections
3 Things I’ve learned:
As a teacher when I am grading a multimedia project I can create a rubric online that the students can access. This way they know what is expected of me, and of then out of the project. A multimedia project does not just contain Power point. It can include a portfolio that the students and develop using the internet. As a teacher I need to allow the students to pick and choose their own way of creating a multimedia project. This way the student is more likely to want to do better, because they picked it, and they want to show me that they can do well on a project. They will also take more ownership of the project.
2 Connections I can make:
As a teacher is in important to have multimedia projects in my classroom. And it is essential to the students learning to use the media programs that the school has. Using the media in my classroom will help the students with coloration on group projects, creating a media portfolio and using elements of communications to their peers and themselves. .
1Question
Is there training for the teachers who are teaching, so that they can learn how to use these multimedia tools, and tips for intergrading them in their classroom?
