Chapter 7 & 8

Three concepts to reflect upon in Chapter 7 and 8.

1) Using Games in Teaching- There are many different way to use games to teach. You can use the smart board or individual games on the internet the only difference is that on the internet this takes more monitoring and if you have more than one different group then that will be hard. Playing games together this can also go back to the smart board they can use this to play the games together.

2) Electronic Communication Between Teachers and  Students - Email, blog, classroom websites, wikis, and online discussions. These are all forms of communications that can help students that have questions that are sometimes hard to one student but, easiler for other students are can be asked or exampled on one of them forums.

3)Synchronous and Asynchronous Communications - These are two ways that are completely different communicate. Synchronous is in real time such as phone conversations and text messages. And Asynchronous has a time delay such as email, blogs wikis and online discussions.

In conclusion technology is a key quality in teaching. Teaching without technology is hard because of all the possiblity out there. To teach with out teachnology would not only be a hinder to the teacher but, to the student since it is a nessesity in the work world now a days.

Chapter 3 & 5

Three concepts to reflect upon in Chapters 3 & 5:

1)Plagiarism: this is something that should never be played with. When taking ENC I and II my teacher was big on this and it was instilled in me. I believe that if you are not looking at the text and rewrite something there is no way that you can write it word for word. Go ahead and read the article even highlight if you need to but, when writing the paper put it to the side. I will instill this into my students when they are writing papers or anything that this is a form or stealing also.

2)Using the right URL: this is a big one again that I had pounded into me in my ENC I and II using information from a .edu or a ,gov. But there are other sites that are good to use too but, fot academic writing try to stay closer to the .edu's and .gov's.

3) Group projects: I love this idea, when I was in school I loved doing group work especially if I was not understanding something. In a smaller setting I felt more confortable asking my questions about something then I would in a whole class disccusion.

In conclusion I believe that these three thing are very inport aspects to teaching successfully with technology. Knowing what are going to be benefical to you and what can hurt you are two things that are important in teaching.
