1. Technology Integration being explained to a parent is about using new technologies in the classroom to help improve and better your child's education. There are many different things being used in the classroom nowadays than there were back when the children's parents were in school. Teachers now use Promethean Boards which are a really cool way to teach lessons.
2. I would maybe use the computer hooked up to the Promethean Board and show some videos to the classroom. I could also teach a lesson from a video off the internet to the classroom.
3. Hardware: keyboard and Software: word processor. Browser: Internet Explorer Search Engine: Google Spread Sheet: Excel Database: Access
4. I think the most important is plagiarism. When we used the Turn it in website. I think that is a very good website to use.
5. Partners to me always depends on the partner you get. If you get to choose your partner then yes, it is a good idea. In a class like this, you will get to know everybody whether you are their partner one time or not.
6. A technology based activity could be going to watch almost anything outside of the classroom that uses video cameras or picture cameras. My dance recital is a good thing to watch. We have many technologies being used all around.
7. Twitter wasn't so bad. It was just that our phone was hooked up and even after the announcement was made not to text after 9 p.m. tweets were still being sent. So, I think just make sure that people know what time to send the tweets.
8. I now know how to use the flip camera and how to upload it. If I wasn't in this class I would have never known how to do that.
9. I really do not know. I cannot really think of anything at the moment.
10. The most that was beneficial to me was actually learning how to make a rubric and learning more about different websites.

Google Groups
Google groups are a good way of communicating. This feature is better than twitter I think. It is much easier to use and an easy way to learn more about our classmates. With google groups, you do not have to use your phone, it is only accessed on your computer which is a lot better.

Adaptive Technologies
Scene 1
Students have many different learning styles. Every single student is in some way different. Some students may have to learn by auditory lessons. These learners learn the best from reading text aloud and using a tape recorder. There are many different types of activities you can find to help you in the different learning styles of your students. I was just using the auditory learning style as an example since it was being talked about in the article.
Scene 2
To find someone to be comfortable with is sometimes hard to do. The teacher has found someone that she is comfortable with and can help her improve her lessons to help her students. Marilyn talked about what she wanted and Juanita came up with what to do. Juanita's lessons help her class and they always include Oscar's needs. This can also show how students can be comfortable in coming up and asking their teachers things when they are in need.
Scene 3
Marilyn's use of a graphic organizer is a great idea. This will enhance her lesson a lot. The students will be working together which most students like to work together. Also, the graphic organizer is to break down everything. It shows a clearer picture to the students. When things are broken down it helps students understand better. She had her students label the characters, setting, problem, solution, and virtue on their graphic organizers. The use of the graphic organizer will help Oscar because he is an auditory learner. He will be able to hear what is on the the graphic organizer instead of just having to read it if one was already done.
Scene 4
Using the Web to locate information is sometimes confusing and hard. You have to know exactly what you are looking for or else weird things come up and you have no idea what to click on. Your subject you look for cannot be too broad or that won't work either. Difficulties that might be addressed by using a Web Quest could be like any other website. Some students may not be able to access the Web Quest from outside the classroom. Inside the classroom may be their only way of getting access to the Internet.
Scene 5
The students benefited from being with Oscar that day, they also benefited from learning about the Eric Carle books, and learning from Juanita. Students will always benefit from being with other students and learning different things. All of the students achieved so much from this day. Juanita had tiered a certain part of the lesson and targeted the other four students with different levels of books. Oscar's speech was a phenomena this day. No, I do not think Oscar's experience would have been as powerful if he would have worked in isolation with Juanita. Most of the time, these kids who have ailments, are kept in isolation. I think they should be included every now and then with the lessons. It does make a difference to the student when he or she is around other students. They do know the difference.
Scene 6
Marilyn seems to always have her students up and running. Her students had the Web Quest down pat by now and were using it to find some data about and author/artist. They answered questions to a video from Eric Carle. Now her students have to publish a book in the spirit of Eric Carle that would incorporate the wild animals and habitats in science. Then her students created a "dummy book." Her students also created an iMovie. Her students were very excited and anxious to do this.

USM Game at OS field
There were many technologies being used at this game as any other game. Of course there was a scoreboard, not being used at this particular game but it does work and it was on. Before the game started there were men introducing one another on microphones and thanking everyone for coming out to watch the team. There was also the coaches that used their headsets. This is so that each coach can communicate to one another across the field. A video camera was on the sidelines videoing and there was a camera on a crane above the field videoing. All in all, there were a lot of technologies being used and it was a fun time.

PBS in the Classroom
Word World Build-A-Word - CAKE
www.youtube.com
type word world and click on the cake video... there are many other videos too.
I am interested in teaching Kindergarten. That is why I picked this video. My niece is in Kindergarten right now and I make her watch these videos. They help so much. If a child knows the video is about learning they will probably not want to watch it. That is why you do no tell them and you just let them enjoy the video and learn. I love this show.

Sexting
"Sexting" is the craziest word I have ever heard and I have never heard this word before this class last week. I do not know why kids think that it is cool to send nude pictures to their boyfriends because it is not cool. Parents have no clue what their children are getting into nowadays and that is sad. Parents should really check the computer and see what kind of sites their kids are getting onto. You should never think that your child is doing nothing wrong, they might not be, but it wouldn't hurt to check would it?
Video Questions
1. I am mostly a low hostile person, but I can be a high hostile person. 2. In school, the aggressors in my life would be deadlines and tests. That is what stresses me out the most. 3.
