Still trying to learn this tool.

Module 3 class assignment

I love technology and I'm quite proficient in using various tools- professionally and for leisure. Although it's exciting thinking about the possibilities of integrating all these tools in the classroom, nothing really can surpass the effectiveness of a dynamic and skilled teacher- no matter how archaic his/her tools or methods are. In reference to the video hyping the "digital learners", students can be as easily "engaged" with a teacher equipped simply with a chalk and board: "engagement" is contingent on how really effective and skilled that teacher is. Yes, I will incorporate and experiment with technology- and continue to imagine the possibilities if these tools were readily available in my classroom for all my students. For now, I am heavily reliant on my archaic tools of instruction - and my students are extremely engaged- guaranteed.

Post-it for Module 3

Here is a new post on an old blog. I just have the pics on my external flash. This is a picture of me and our school counselor, Mrs. Borja, at the International Coastal Clean-up this year. It is taking a long time to upload and may not upload successfully. Anyway, if anyone is interested in some really great supplemental teaching tools (I use them for openers-they really get the student's attention) try U Tube Math Made Easy.
