THE BEGiNNiNG OF A BEAUTiFUL RELATiONSHiP:)

I liked the exercises where we got to create our own images or videos. These were the most interesting to me. This program has affected my lifelong learning goals because I intend to continue researching and staying up to date on what is new in the technology world. I was very surprised that there were online word processing tools that were free and functioned in almost the same manner as other word processing tools that people pay a lot of money for. I did not like how everyone's blogs were displayed to the right of the home screen of this program. This made scrolling down to the "thing" you wanted to complete very tedious. This is a small thing, however, it did not have a large affect on how I feel about the program. What I have learned will influence my practice as a teacher because now I know many ways to encorporate technology in the classroom. Also, I can use my new knowledge base to help my students build a knoweldge base of technology. Researching new developments seems to be effective for me. I like to know about everything that is out there and then form my own decisions on what programs or tools are effective. I will resolve to stay updated on new developments by taking the time to research when I experience down time.

Below, is what I found as an credation that Learning 2.0 23 things was based on another program. I copy and pasted this directly off our 23 things homepage that we use to get to others' blogs and to each individual "thing."

Now that I know about creative commons licensing I will use it to help educate my students on what they may use and what they may not use, and how to give credit to the author. I will also use creative commons to be able to recognize what I can or cannot use and how to give credit to the author.

The titles of my binders are "Annotated Resource Folder for Educ 4160," "Education 2100," and "Math 1420 Journals."

That was my embed of the binder. It obviously didn't work. So here is the link!

These live binders could be used to bind all of the students work together and save for upcoming students as a reference of good work and not so good work. As far as lesson plans, the students could do a research folder in livebind. Before writing the formal research paper students could bind all of their resources together in livebind. Another lesson could be for students to get in a group and find resources of multiple types and then bind them all together to share with the class. The topic could be anything from history to the rainforest, to literature or math.
