Technology Interview Assignment

Hello, everyone!

Fall Field is drawing near and it's time to start talking about your field assignments. The first is the Technology Interview. It would behoove you to complete this assignment immediately as the information you glean from it may guide your work on your media-rich lesson plan. It will be due the day you return from field.

New Extra Credit Opportunities!

I have had the great fortune this week to attend seminars by two outstanding educators and I want to share them with you. If you are truly serious about having a career in education, I strongly encourage you to watch the videos of these seminars and reflect on them. To get extra credit, watch a video (or watch both and do two reflections) and write a reflection including 3 things you learned from the presentation in your blog.

Listen rather than watch. The video's REALLY bad!
If you went with me to this presentation, you're welcome to just reflect on that experience.
