My Final Project Reflection

http://msstaciestoller.weebly.com/

I created a Class Website for my final project. This was much more time consuming then I had first anticipated but I had so much fun. Searching through websites of other teachers I found what I liked and didn't like. There were some websites created by teachers that were not very user friendly and some that didn't seem to serve much of a purpose. I decided that I wanted my site to be easy to use and a site that my parents could actually benefit from.

After talking with Ellen and looking at her site I decided to use Weebly as my host site. Weebly was easy to use but I did run into a few problems. I didn't like the look of the attached files. I tried to change this but was unable. I would have liked it to look more like a list as opposed to the generic looking icon. My plan is to eventually link all of my worksheets,power points and test reviews for each unit in both Math and Science. My Reading curriculum is still "under construction." We are reading the Westing Game, which the kids love, but I still have not implemented the Math strands of Reading. I will link sites as I find them.

The most exciting part of creating my website was when I was able to find the HTML for different widgets and horizontal lines. I've learned so much from this class. Blogging, creating websites, RSS feeds, Bloglines, TeacherTube, Wikki, WebQuests, HTML and PortaPortal are just a few of the things I've learned. My friends are benefitting from me taking this class as well. Leann, a close friend, had been searching for a job for several months. I taught her how to create a blog and showed her Mashable which lead her to LinkedIn. Linkedin is the site where she ended up finding her current employer.

I wrote a proposal for the technology committee at my school and it was approved. My proposal suggested that to better utilize the interactive white boards in our school, we should have teachers apply to have them in their classrooms. It will be like applying for a grant. There has to be a plan and the teacher will have to keep data. The data can be pre/post test or anecdotal data.

MY BOOKMARKS

I used PortaPortal because I liked the visual layout of it. It was more time consuming than Furl but I am a very visual person so it was worth putting the time in it.

A future fiction

Ok, after hearing many of you talk about this article I finally read it tonight. I have many thoughts about it.

1. Finance- where is the money going to come from to create these type of classrooms and media centers?
2. media chips- I don't really like that idea of media chips tracking where everybody is....a little too "big brother" for me.
3. BOOKS - less books in our media centers?? Can you take a laptop to the beach for trashy novel reading? I'm all about saving the trees by using less paper but I also love books. One of my most special memories of being a child is sitting with my siblings while Mom read to us.
4. PRIVACY- We all NEED a little more of it.
5. Technology- I am loving learning new technology teaching tools HOWEVER we can't use only technology.

It is an article I will share with others....I think my friends will get a kick out of it.

I LOVED working with Dreamweaver today!!!
