Blog use

I think that Blogs are a useful tool for teachers to uses. The teachers used their blogs to close the gap between school and home. Parents were able to go look at their student's teacher blog and see what they had learned and what was planned for the future. I like how some of the teachers posted homework assignments on their blog, this way students who are absent could keep up with their lesson. This gave me ideas on how I would like to use blogs in my classroom.

Assignment 1b

Hey!My name is Venus. I am a Sophomore majoring in Special Education. I think that by using technology in the classroom it makes lessons more enjoyable for students. Not only does it make the classroom setting fun, but it also makes it easier to access materials for activities, quizzes, and homework.

Reader Rabbit- Assignment #6

The software I did my evaluation on was Reader Rabbit Learn to Read with Phonics. I think this game is really good because it makes reading and phonics fun for early childhood. It also has printable activities that can be used in the classroom. It can also easily be tied into a lesson plan. I remember playing Reader Rabbit games when I was younger. I had so much fun that I didnt really notice that I was learning until afterwards hours of playing. lol

Learning Styles- Assignment # 3

I started with the Myers-Briggs Personality Type test. I answered four questions and I was left with the letters ENFP. These letters stand for Extraversion, Intutiton, Feeling, and Percieving.These are the results of your inventory. The scores are out of 20 for each style. A score of 20 indicates you use that style often.Style ScoresVisual8Social17Physical9Aural11Verbal13Solitary13Logical3I scored the highest in the social learning style. I agree with this because I find it easier to learn when I discuss information with my peers, or one on one with an instructor. I love working with people.

Wikis-Assignment # 5

Wikis can be very useful in classroom settings. I would use my wiki as a way to student to do activities for class. I would post video related to topics discussed in lessons . I also think wikis are a good way for students to submit work and access their assignments.
