What?


In class, we learned more about the UEN website and the Pioneer Library. We also learned more about our own website. Our assignment was our UEN website and the scavenger hunt.


So what?


UEN means so much to me. As a teacher, I am going to use it as a resource all of the time. There are so many resources on the UEN website and on the Pioneer Library. There is videos, podcasts, and different games that I will be able to use for my curriculum. Its going to be so highly beneficial for my classroom. As a student, its going to help me write so many of my lesson plans. Everyone time I go onto both the UEN and Pioneer I find a new idea for one of my lessons.


This technology is so awesome. I am so grateful to be able to use it for my future class and this semester. I know we are learning this to have more resources and ideas as teachers. Also to have a safe website for our students. UEN is a great website for my students. They will be able to use it as a resource when they are doing assignments.

Now What?

This has changed my current schema so much. I have always just "googled" something if I had a hard time finding something or needing an answer. Googling it was the easiest thing for me, but now I am so against Google. I am all for UEN website and Pioneer Library. Now I am looking up credible information, instead of the many uncredible sources that are found when you google something. I am going to be such a better teacher with these two wonderful resources. Its just amazing that in two days I learned about this website and the library it provides. My way of searching for more information to use in my curriculum has completely changed!

This type of information is going to change the way I will be as a teacher. I have struggled with finding resources, but now that I have these helpful sources I am going to be so much better of a teacher. I think that learning this I will be able to help other health teachers I work with. Knowing how to use the websites completely is not very common for older teachers. However, they will be helping me probably more than I will be helping them. I have been just thrilled with this new technology! This class has just been awesome!

Video

The video "A Vision of Student's Today" was completely true. There was so many people in my classes that are either facebooking or emailing constantly. Everything everyone does now a days is with technology. Seeing teachers write on chalkboards reminds me of the 1900's. We are a technology generation. If teachers want to connect with their students they need to be up to date with technology. Students spend more than half their days with technology. How are teachers going to get through to the students without technology? I really don't even no. That is why I will never be one of those teachers. Technology will be part of my curriculum.
