Week 4

Wow I'm a little late. This week was yet another hectic one. Ending one school year and getting ready for summer school seemed to pose a problem along with my Master's Program. I think I have more on my plate than I can handle. But gotta keep movin' on huh? Anyway, I did not seem to gain a lot this week in class. The safe internet essentials were something that I was already aware of and the Second Life deal was a joke. I did learn a little about the privacy laws on the other hand that were interesting. Most importantly I learned that I am not doing anything illegal when I borrow or use stuff on the internet.

ED 520 Blog 3

This week I had a lot of fun working with my group again. It is very interesting to see where we all agree and disagree. For the most part we are all on the same page. For our group project we had the opportunity to investigate many different web sites which have potential to be useful in the classroom. Most of the tools we looked at were interesting and include: 280 slides, poll everywhere and Google forms. Others were unimpressive (Ta-da lists)... honestly what a waste of time.

Not much else to say this week. I am trying to close out the end of the school year and am exhausted!
