twitter and me

       Twitter is a very fun and easy social network to use.Before our class and really getting to know about twitter I thought it was kind of dumb and just people complaining but  today in class our activity included using twitter to complete a quiz that showed you how helpful and easy it is to complete a task in a group if you need too. The activity was to take a quiz in a group and help each other answer questions with out talking. The test was very interesting and really did help to show how useful twitter could be in the classroom.
       I think twitter can be very helpful and easy to use inside the classroom. Twitter could be used for teachers to help plan every day activities together and be on the same page with other teachers and even parents about students. It is easy to find things and join groups to get things done together.

Final Frontier

         My group and I were asked to create a presentation to convince teachers that do not like technology in their classrooms to start using it more. We were asked to to change teachers minds on how they feel about technology being used in the classrooms, and here is our project .

         The article Teacher Pedagogical Beliefs: The Final Frontier in Our Quest for Technology Integration? 

 By. Peggy A. Ertmer 
          The article talked about how teachers are not use to technology and are not comfortable with it. It also discussed how students feel about technology in the classrooms. Ertmer also discussed how attention spans differ with the use of technology. One last thing that the article talked about was how students performances are with technology. It discussed the difference between collaboration and cooperation. collaboration is people working together together and helping each other out to get answers and cooperation is people working separately.
        The project was fun and really showed how much technology helps to teach students. It also showed us that technology really is making a huge jump in teaching in classrooms.
