Peer Review

Reviewing Websites and having a second set of eyes, as well as viewing our websites on a computer other than our own brings up some points that may otherwise be overlooked. The collaborative approach works again! I am hoping to fix several problems now, thanks to that time we spent in class checking each other's sites.

Wikis and podcasts and all kinds of social networks

We really have been immersed in new technology, which is the focus, of course, that MD400 must have. I will use what I've learned as much as possible when it makes learning more relevant and when I am set up properly to do so. The major hurdles are not having the right equipment, or not having every detail of what will be correlated to the content being taught. Time is precious during the school day; we, as teachers, are responsible for making the most of every moment. Well designed technology lessons merit use in the classroom.
