What I learned in class
The most important thing I learned in class was how to create a blog. I have never blogged before, and have never been up on what's new as far as modern technology or electronic communication. Emailing and Facebook encompass most of my online communication experience. Luckily, I am pretty good at figuring out how things work without much assistance.
1)
I wouldn't have any arguments for having kids blog for a class. Before taking on these type of assignments they would have to understand that a certain level of maturity is expected. I don't know how well blogging with go with younger elementary students as far as wrinting and responding to others. Younger children could use blogs for playing games that encourage learning and computer skills.
2)
Technology standards I think all standards would be met by doing classroom blogs. For example, standard one: "facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity" would be met in a number of ways. By creating a blog, students are allowed to express themselves by decorating their blogspots and can shared learned information with their peers as well as follow people with similar interests.
3) Clock app has fun pictures and lets kids move the hands of the clock. The objective is to help kids to be able to tell time by playing with the clock and seeing what time it is, based on where the hands are on the clock. Technology used is; a technology clock, and a computer with google calendar projection. Stndard 3 is met Model Digital Age Work and Learning. This app isn't very exciting, but if kids were allowed to play with it in partners, I there would probably be a large success rate.
