I'm not sure exactly what format I am supposed to use for this assignment, so I will just go ahead and answer the podcast questions.
- Technology use
I use technology on a daily basis in my classroom via a LCD Projector. Whether I am showing a power point, teaching my students how to research information on the internet, or just playing Brain pop. I try to have my students on the computer every day mainly to work on reports.
-Communicating to others
I use my email daily to communicate with my staff, district, and parents. I alsop have a classroom webpage that my students can access at home via the internet to contact me, to view any mised homework assignments, or to just to search for website links.
- Supporting technology
I am currently my school's technology rep for our district. I sit in on district technology meetings and relay information back and forth to my site and to my district coordinator. I am also my school's echalk coordinator, where I help the staff set up classroom webpages. I have trained both staff and students on several different software programs, but I would not say I am an expert in the field.
-Learning Contract
I would like to complete all three assignments in order to receive an A in this class. I am not sure as to what my projects will be based on at this point.
- Activity log
I have viewed session 1's podcast and have explored all three links to creating a blog.I have created my first blog and have posted comments on fellow classmates blogs.

If you need more assistance with project ideas you can probably get some ideas from other students in the class as they are beginning to post them!
You seem to have caught up quickly. If there is anything I can do to assist you in class, let me know.

Good morning Michele,
You are very welcome to this class.
It seems that you are using and applying most the resources for classroom. Isn't it a must? I would feel incomplete to do my job, if I do not have, at least, the basic knowledge of the integrated technology for the classroom.
I also love to have a website too. I think it is nice to link all the available sites to show students in class when needed. Especially in my line of work (automotive technology), I found that a picture tells thousand word. I found the animation of many automotive systems, and they are life-saver. It would take me a lot of effort to explain some systems, and I may not reach all students. With animation of these systems, students enjoy seeing them, and they have better understanding of how it works. All I have to do is making comments, answer the questions students have, and do the demonstrations in the work shop. These animations also are the visual learners’ favorite.
I am also one hundred percent for supporting technology.
Good to see you in this class and to read your posting

Howdy, nice to meet you, see you online.
