Podcasts

This week I learned how to put a podcast up on my web. I also learned how to make one using my iPhone. We had to make a podcast for the kids in are class. I did mine with Tyler on rock climbing.


I really like this because as a teacher I could make a short podcast on what I want my kids to do for their homework or what they should study about for a test. My students would enjoy it because the can understand more fully what they should do. This is a great tool to learn how to use. Teachers could use it in their teaching to help with out of class work. Now if I wanted to do something for a class on the computer with a podcast i could. This will help me and my colleagues to share teaching or assignments with each other.


This information on teaching with technology can help me to prepare to teach a new generation of kids how understand most of this stuff. I definitely think that I can use this in my teaching and I am excited to learn new ways to apply what I have learned. From doing this simple task it helps me to see what can be created for my class or colleagues to help them out side of school. I think if I can figure out how to use this when I become a teacher then I will be great:)

Google Part 2

This week we learned about making a class room web site on Google. In class we started to make ours and to put information on it. For example on my about me i have a pic of me climbing up AF canyon. We just have to finish showing that we know how to build a website on Google. 


I think that this is so important as a teacher. Especially because of how the world is starting to be run. Everything is technology based. As a student I love being able to look up everything that was done last class and be able to review and know exactly what I am supposed to do for homework. This is helping me to understand how to use computers more effectively witch i can use in my classes now. For example lots of my projects have been done on Google docs. Technology is a way for us as people to become more unified in a faster manner. 

Google Part 1

This week in class we learned about Google and everything it can do. We have an assignment to work with are group over the internet to share a website and tell what it is about. After looking at them we will put them on the group site.


I thought that this class was so much fun. I learned about Google Docs and how it works at real time. There are so many ways that I can use this in class. Create a spot for parents or kids to look at what is due or what needs to be done. Organize my class room work and send things to friends with easy. This technology will help me to be able to relay info faster between more people so that we can get things done. This class helped me to learn a lot of new ways to work with people even when we are all busy. Google has made a great thing to help out with learning and communication.

13 January - Introduction... Special topics blog

I am happy to write about my Strengths + Weaknesses and Goals for this new year :) Well I will start with my Strengths. I feel like I am good with people and get along with them. I am pretty good at sports. I'm starting to get good at rock climbing. I definitely have weaknesses but one of my big ones is that i loose focus on things sometimes really fast. I have set goals for different spots in my life. They are
1. Climb a 5.13c
2. Get great grades (As and A-)
3. Get married
4. Become more like Christ
Definitely my Educ. Hero is Mr. Botida. In elementary school i would go to his class when I was not being very good or just when I wanted to. He always cared for me and still cares and asks me how I am doing. He is great!
