WEB 2.0

This was a fun assignment for me. There are so many different ways a of communicating with your students. And so much information for them to find. I would like to use different technology items in my classroom that way the students become familiar. I think a blog is a great way to keep the parents informed as to what is going on in your class. This way they can know what the up coming assignments or test are, and what fun things might be happening in school. But don't get me wrong there will still be plenty of notes sent home to cover all the bases.

I have found that the UEN web sight is an amazing tool for teachers as well as parents. Where else can you find all of the information that your students needs to be successful. It has great ideas and lesson plans already for the teacher to use. Also as a parent you can see what your child should be learning in school.

Homework 1

After watching the different videos I didn't realize what a high drop out rate there is among teenager. But I really like the idea of using technology that the kids think are great to get their attention and make learning fun. I am having a hard time learning new things with technology because it wasn't so there in everyday life. I really struggle taking test on the computer because I need something in my hand to help me. But on the other hand my 11 year old preferes to take test on the computer. The only problem I see with using all of the modern day technology is what about the kids that do not have it avialable to them, will they feel left out and out of place.

About me.

Hi! My name name is Jalene Harding. I live in a beautiful town called Neola, Utah. I have a wonderful husband(most of the time) named Doug and 4 boys and a little girl. The boys are: Brayden (11), Garrett (9), Colten (7), and Chase 4. Our most of the time sweet little girl Mikaly is 1. I must be crazy for deciding to go back to school with all that we have going on at home but for the most part I sure am enjoying it.
