I found it to be very helpful because there are many different worksheets and different ideas for lessons that are posted on this blog. I would advise you to visit it and check it out... it might give you some ideas that you would not have found otherwise!

K12 Online Conference: 2009

Hello everyone! I was looking through the K12 Online Conferences for 2009 and came across this interesting video posted about video conferencing within the education profession. Many people find the idea of incorporating technology into the classroom to be ineffective, and improper. This video talks about the many different uses of technology, specifically video conferencing within the classroom, and how they can be useful and effective. The video also mentions how important it is for teachers to use technology properly, and it gives examples of how to do it. One specific example would be using video conferencing within the classroom, rather that taking all of your students on a field trip. Check out this video on the K12 Online Conference: 2009 website, and learn more...

My First Blog!

Greetings! I am currently inrolled in an Instructional Technolgoy Class. For the class, our Professor asked us to begin a blog, in the hopes that we would be able to use this blog as a future reference to help throughout our careers. Through this blog, I intend to write about some things that I have learned within the Education profession, and also hope to learn some things from you people that are already out in the field everyday! :) For my first blog, I did want to leave a website that I found to have some valuable information for teachers on it. In my opinion, it was a huge help in understanding how technology effects, and helps the education process. Enjoy!
