Post #9-El Finale

I enjoyed the Search Tools for Education section in which ther were 12? sourcesbut i think the best thing that i could relate to was http://www.turnitin.com/static/home.html --Turn it in.com this is a spectacular program that does a good job at preventing plagiarism. it saves each submission which is in the billions and score your work against the database sarching for similarities in words and sentence structures.
I enjoyed this because I have used turnitin many times for various classes and I love the program in general. i feel every teacher should use it to not only catch students plagiarising but to teach them as well.

I dont know what skill i would learn next. probably whatever caught my eye at the time. im open to learning anything and everything so its an open playing field.

I want my students to know about technology. i want them to know how it can be good, bad, and even dangerous because i think its necessary. i want them to embrace technology so that they surpass me in skill, that is my goal, to teach them.

This chapter spoke about computer viruses, what they are, how they work, and how they survive. it also talked about computer seurity in general such as antivirus programs, and things you can do to prevent a virus. It was very informative I actually learned a few things.

Again, in the last two seconds i haven't learned much except that it sucks to have school when you're sick, but it sucks even more when you have a final.

i can't wait til me and my fiance move so we can be settled and not in that half packed half not state.

Ths chapter talked about evaluating education and technology. this chapter however was basically illustrated in our website evaluation project. how you should know the source of you website for example and how you should fully investigate as to whether it is a valid source. this is very important for students to do so that they dont plagiarize on accident.

since last posting i have learned not to wait til this last minute to do my journals, lol. no seriously though i havent learned much.

i dont want to go to work today, it being the last day of summer school business will be slow. come visit me at Strozier, i'll give u coffee!

This chapter was about curriculum, and standards that need to be met. The curriculum is the teacher's blueprint to her class, if its parameters aren't met then How can she/he succeed? Another important thing talked about was integrating technology into the classroom. this was important as well because we are now in the age of technology.

Since last class, i have learned that i hate excel with a passion and love it at the same time. i did horribly on the practice test and skill check but it made me realize that there was a lot more to it than i had originally thought.

I have a head cold and i have to move on saturday, i am just trying to get through today so that i dont have to worry about working as well.
