Quantifying Technology in the Present to Help Students Continuously Evolve towards a Successful Future

Ahhh...yes....the joys of summer school

Does this sound about right?





Another quick post to let you know I am enjoying my ED CIFS class on the foundations of education.  I am learning some very cool things.  

Just got done with my own Personal Philosophy of Education, a paper that I will be posting on my portfolio.  I have a group presentation on the role of technology in schools that will be due at the end of this month, that will look awesome on my portfolio as well.  Hopefully I can convince my group to do a power point presentation to go with it.  


This class seems like it's moving so quickly.  It's done next week!!  


Does anyone have any fun Memorial Day weekend plans?  I need a break!

A quick new post to let you know what is new....

     I survived my first semester at BSU.  Okay it really wasn't that bad because I only took ED TECH 202 and it was online.  Looks like I got an A in the class which is awesome!!  Here is the link for my site:
JoAn's Teaching Technology Portfolio Site
     If you find time to look at it and notice any errors like spelling, grammar, links that don't work properly please, please let me know.  There were many late night spent creating it, and I know that my thinking was probably not at its best when it was creating.  :)
     It's summer time and I just started ED-CIFS 201 which is a foundations of education course.  It is a small class which is nice and it is moving at a very quick pace which I like.  I will post more about what I am learning when I have a bit more time.  Until then keep checking back for updates in the exciting world of education.

Cinco de Mayo

Wow!! Did everyone have a good Cinco de Mayo?? I did, but busy as ever still working on my final portfolio for ED TECH and trying to find the time to start up my family reunion website also. (maybe when finals are done.)
BIG note to myself...Cinco de Mayo is a great holiday to do something special in a Spanish class. Need to work on researching some possible lesson plans for the holiday and well as some education for students on it. Like did you know that Cinco de Mayo is NOT the day of Mexican Independence??

Most people don't know that or as least people here in the U.S. Well just checking in and letting everyone know where I am at. Can't believe we are just about done with this semester and Summer term starts in a couple of week...where does the time run off to? Can someone tell me?

Oh and by the way, here is the link to my completed PowerPoint Presentation, an electronic review to be used with a class or given to an individual student as electronic flashcards, that I promised I would post.  It is on my files page listed as:  Echols Review
