DAY SEVEN: Feb 9th

On February 9th, I set up a blog on blogmeister. This account will enable me to speak with my classmates and younger students from California. We will be able to learn from each other and discuss educational events. I believe this meets the 3C standard:Model Digital-Age Work and Learning; communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats.

My senior year I depended on the Internet and Blackboard to accomplish my class work. The system was new to me and no teacher was provided so I had to teach myself how to operate the system. I was forced to set my goals for the class and manage my own learning. I soon became very familiar with the technology and rather enjoyed my online classes. I liked being able to work at a faster pace, rather than staying at the same speed of my class. I believe this experience pertains to standard 2B:Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments; develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
