Web Conference Week 5

This week on the conference call we reviewed what was to go into the Internship Document and the Principal Skills Document that are due on Friday, August 12, 2011.  We need to go in a complete the first embedded assignment sometime next week. We went over what to expect in the upcoming courses and what needs to be done during the internship portion of the program.

EDLD5306 Course Reflection

      In the EDLD5306 class, I did not really know what to expect, but the class gave me much to think about using surveys, internet safety and ethics, and how to use Web 2.0 tools. This class opened my eyes on realizing how much technology affects students today – the 21st Century student. I really enjoyed learning more about copyrights, intellectual property, and laws that I did not know existed. I enjoyed seeing issues that concern the principal and parents when technology becomes a factor in the classroom. I liked the use of the discussion boards because I can see how other school districts use technology, and I have and understanding if other teacher’s views align with what I am thinking. Some of the members of the class have giving me some different perspectives at looking at some of the issue dealing with technology.

Web Conference Week 4
