Three new things I have learned...
1. I learned that electronic mentoring is a web based activity. Electronic Mentoring means that students are linked with experts to answer questions and support learning. A site where students can be linked with experts is the NASA website, where students can chat with NASA personnel.
2. I have also learned that Google docs is technically called electronic publishing. Students can use Google docs to submit writing and artistic products to be shared with other students. Students can easily share and publish works in Google docs and visitors can easily view the works.
3. I also learned that there are many web-based learning activities available for both students and teachers. Students can access tutorial instruction easily on a website called CalTech's Cool Cosmos. Here students can learn about astronomy and can actually observe celestial objects.
Two links to my teaching...
1. I can integrate the internet into my classroom by allowing students to use websites like KidPub to display their past and present works. Students can use these websites to show parents and friends what they have been learning and working on in class.
2. I can also use the rubric provided to assess and evaluate websites I would like to use in my classroom. This is a way to evaluate and make sure that the sites are appropriate and useful to the content that I will be teaching.
One question I have is...
1. Will the school district have websites that they use already? Will we as teachers be allowed to pick certain sites that we want to use?
