Week 7

UEN and Pioneer Library will greatly help me while teaching my students. I will be able to refer to the websites information and use it in my teaching. I will be able to use their lesson plans and their interactive tools while planning my specific lesson plans. By doing this my students will receive a variety of learning patterns, much further beyond than my personal capacities.

Through using virtual tours, I will be able to take my students to see many different places around the world that they otherwise would never see. These will be in class field trips that can keep my students involved and triggering their curiosity.

The different ideas given concerning service learning projects will help me stay fresh. I will be able to continue being creative and keeping my class involved.

Through using UEN and Pioneer Library I will be able to collaborate with my coworkers. They will have full access to these materials, just as I do therefore it will making it much easier for us to work together. We can use the ideas given, to generate new and even more creative ideas.

Together we can find the most informative and fun ways of learning from the UEN website. Personally I can do my best to be creative and fun within the walls of my classroom, but by using the UEN website I will be able to continue learning and teaching my students with new ideas. By using these websites my students will receive a much better teachers.

I really enjoyed watching this week's movie about the Surface Computing Device. This device is a large hands on computer. It has a multi touch screen which gives direct manipulation. If this device was used in schools it would give these students a great opportunity to learn more, and in an extremely new way. This device is incredible. I can only imagine all of the incredible technologies I will someday be able to use in my classroom.
