1)Over the course of the semester I've learned so many different technology styles of teaching. Throughout the semester we have learned a variety of different techniques. My favorites thus far that i plan to incorporate in my teaching style is the blogger, wikki spaces, and definately power point style teaching.
2)In essence, the project was very fun and exciting. The Christmas Carol story is a very popular novel, and the story itself has been delivered in a variety of ways over the course of the years. It was really cool that my group and I were able to create our on version for the kids at Fairview middle. My favorite part of the project was actually replacing the ghost with celebrities that the students could relate to and be amused by! I enjoyed working with my group members and overall I think the project was a big success.
3)I will use the powerpoint for teaching, wiki space for group work, and blogger as a journal. Students will enjoy working together interactively and I think this will boost student learning moral.

1)The excell part two lesson was overload for me!!! However I like the idea of creating a fun crossword puzzel. Nevertheless as simple as it may seem , I might need a manuel on how to create one for my students!
2)I'm very excited about our project. With the holiday steadily approaching, I'm happy with the overall objective of our project.
3)For our final project Emily and I went to Fairview middle to speak with our teacher. In that meeting we were able to get a clear idea of what the teacher was looking for, and she basically told us to have fun and make the story fun for the kids! So on that note my group will remix the christmas carol and give it a modern feel. We want to incorporate the powerpoint lesson and make a shorten version of the storyboard, we also plan to include a crossword puzzel that we learned with in excell at the end the story! I know the kids will enjoy!!!

1)I plan to use OnCourse, it is a system for education. It manages everything for the class room online and it can help you to monitor the progress for your students. http://www.oncoursesystems.com/ is the link enjoy!!! It will help you to be organized as a teacher and also help to stay paperless and go green.
2)I would definitely use excel for grading. I like the fact that excel does all the work and gives me a chance to focus on the students and maintain my sanity. Also if there is a special contest or something that I may have going on in my classroom, excel can help me keep track of that.
3)Again i like how excel does the math and calculates the grades according to my standard. Over the course of a four quarterly semester, the excel grading system will save me a lot of time and energy. In addition, When i send home progress reports i can send the parent home with a pie/bar graph to let the parent visually see where their child is in my classroom.

1)I plan to incorporate technology as much as possible all my lessons. Technology is clearly the way of the future so it would only be fitting to use it in education. My subject matter is Language Arts/ Reading. I plan to put my students in a weekly group project that will include daily comments from all members in the group. The blogs will be a way for the students to interact about the different units we will be studying.
2)Supervising the Internet shouldn't be as difficult as it may seem. Alot of websites are already unavailable to students because they are blocked by the school board. I personal plan to use technology also as a rewarding tool, so if a student finishes their project early, I will allow them to use the computer for leisurely time of no more than 15 min!
