This website was created by Dr. Alice Christie. It has many useful thoughts about what she has experienced as an educator. This website is a "comprehensive resource for educators" who are having problems with new educational technology. This website has so many different things to offer to teachers!
One of the things I found useful for preparing myself for teaching was the main educational technology tab. There were so many great resources I had trouble choosing just one to talk about. The Rubrics link was one I found very useful! It gave me a better understanding of how a rubric should be used in the classroom and of all the great advanages of using them. I truely enjoyed exploring this website and definently found it useful for my future!!

Week 8 Assignment
For this week's blog I choose to read and blog about 'Best of Novemeber'. This blog by Mr. Fisch was titled "Why Wireless?". He was writing for his school newspaper to inform parents and staff of the positive atributes of have a wireless system at their school. He made some very interesting points about the positive effects wirerless internet can have on schools. I enjoyed reading this blog, and I definently agree with Mr. Fisch, I love wireless internet!
He also made many great points in his atricle. One main point that I really liked was when he talked about the world children are growing up in today are way different than the one's of their parents. This blog was mainly about how many great learning experiences can come along with having wireless internet system!

Week 7 Assignment
After reading this blog throughly I totally agree with Mr. Fisch. I think there is a big need for education courses to be more involved with technology. And I will amitt, I myself do not know as much as I should about computers. Technolgy is not going to go away, it will only progress throughout time so I find it very important to incorporate technology in education!
I really liked how Mr. Fisch outlined the importance of not just teachers being held responsible for their lack of knowledge when it comes to technology, but also administrators, professors, and even parents. Today students need to have teachers who understand and know exactly how to work computers. In a lot of my classes most of my teachers/professors have not been able to work different technology eqiupment and a lot of times the students have suffered from this! I really enjoyed viewing this blog and think every teacher should read it as well!
