- Please tell me how thing went and how you felt about the activities. Please feel free to give suggestions.
- How did you feel about creating a brochure this week?
- Is there any muddy point that you need to review?
- How do you feel about Desktop Publishing? We have created a brochure and a resume. What else do you think we can do with Desktop Publishing? If you have to create one thing for your classroom, what would you create by using Publishing and why?

The activities for this week went well I learned a lot about publisher. The brochure was kind of fun I was able to include some of my own pictures and just be creative. I feel that publisher was fun to work with and I will be using it in the future. I think that I can have students make their own brochures promoting FFA to hand out to younger students. Other things that I could create is placemats for the FFA banquet I have done that before using word and I think it would be easier using publisher for that task.

Partner

My partner is Heather and she has been great. She has brought a lot to the table. We are meeting Wend. even tho class has been canceled to work on our power point. I think that we are going to have a good presentation and she has been a big help.

Chapter 7

I think that a teacher should use any tool that is available to reach out to the students. Online chats during class I thick would be a distraction, but if they could chat at home or during a free period about class work then maybe they could have a better understanding of the topic. I think that nothing will ever be better than face to face learning. When you can see the student you can tell if they are getting it and if they are not then you can help them right then and the student does not have to wait till you are on line. I think that podcast is just another way of passing information on it could be helpful if used in the right way. However I will be teaching a more lab based class and I think that the students need to be in the shop are the barn learning through hands on activities. I think that video games have their place and it is not in the classroom. I played videogames when I was younger and so did my brother I think it can help with hand eye coordination, but that is something that students get enough of at home or at friends houses. We do not need to waste valuable class room time on video games.

Delicious

Tell me how you feel about delicious site and what you think about it. Will you use it? Why/why not?

I think that it is a good idea to bookmark your favorite web sites on line. As students we use computers at school and everything gets deleted off all the time and we never know what computer we are going to be on for that day. As teachers we will be using a computer at school may bee more than one and our computers at home as well. If we used Delicious as a way to keep up with web sites we want to revisit they will always be their, and it is quick way for students to find a web site that we have told them to visit. I will be using this web site in the future.
