Using collaborative tools

Being able to use collaborative tools has been quite the experience. I have learned how important it is to be specific and precise with what you are try to say. I think that it definitely makes things easier and it's a totally different way for people to work together. Overall I will continue to use collaborative research in the future.

Intro Preso Experience

After thinking about how we did our Intro presentations, I really liked it! It was way different than any intro I have done for any other class. I was hoping that Dr. Z would have done a digita presentation for us as well! But thats okay, he is a busy man.

I think that this is something that I could do for my own class someday. Use a video to introduce myself to my class would be fun!

So what am I trying to get out of this anyway?

With the typical first of the semester question, "What are your expectations for this class" was asked my first thought was uhhhhh..... But now taking a couple minutes to think about it I think I have come up with a few ideas. First off I want to learn about all of the ways of using technology in the classroom (pretty vanilla I know). Secondly, Im curious about Promethean Boards and all they have to offer. I have brief experience with them having done my Level III field experience but I would like to know more about them. I expect that I will also learn about many other great websites that Dr.Z and my peers know about that would benefit me in many ways. Whether it is for personal use or for classroom purposes. I also hope to build a larger network of technological aware people. As for know that is it, maybe you can help me come up with more ideas?!

Go Panthers!
