Experiences using IPODS in instruction
All about Duke using IPODS!
IN 2004 Duke University actually provided IPODS to all 1st year students. In spring of 2005 280 students in 19 courses used ipods. Every year they are adding more courses which require you to use ipods.
They are used as study aids. Teachers are now making lectures and study aids as well as podcasts and instructional videos available for the ipods. This year, 42 courses as Duke use ipods for instruction & the university distributes the ipods on a course requirement basis.

Week 7 Blog/SHIFT HAPPENS!!!
October 2007 from Karl Fisch
More technology...
Shift Happens!!!
In this blog, Mr. Fisch is talking about how his 7 year old daughter uses technology and how she is a native to technology instead of an immigrant. I think that I am somewhat of a native. I catch on pretty fast I guess, and ever since Windows 95 came out, I have constantly been on a computer.
Also, I will have to say, that sometimes I do need a little help. My husband is the one who worries with all of the hardware "situations" that we might have. However, I am more a software guru. But it is mainly because, since 1995 I have just played around with every program that I get until I learn it.
I have also realize that online tutorials, especially the video kind are wonderful tools to use when learning a difficult program.

week 6 blog
I definitely believe that in this day and age you have to be technologically literate. Otherwise, your are really limiting the broad horizon of possibilities for not only yourself, but your students as well.
I think that you don't have to know everything that there is to know about technology, but that you have to try to learn whatever you can or else you are at risk to fall behind very far. It is not efficient when your students are the ones having to show you how to work your own equipment. I have seen teachers back when I was in high school who couldn't even figure out how to work a v.c.r., not a d.v.d. player, a v.c.r.!
In my opinion there are several things you should know, but a few that you must know.
1. a v.c.r.
2. a d.v.d. player
3. a television
4. a projector
5. a cell phone
AND MOST OF ALL!!!
6. A COMPUTER AND THE INTERNET!!!

about using blogs in the classroom

Finding the use of blogs in classrooms was a little difficult. However, I did find that Kay Kinney at Harrison County High School uses a blog to list her math class schedule and homework assignments. Visit this site at:
Kinney's Math Class
Then, I found that Mrs. Wahl's sixth grade reading class at Akers Elementary School in California use blogs in order to write literary responses to stories that they read. It is a safe blog and is restricted to use by only that class. Which means that anyone that is not in the class can read or comment on the blogs. Also the blogs are filtered for innapropriate language as well. Visit this site at: Mrs. Wahl's Class
