==**__Objective 2:__ __Knowledge of the wide range of technologies that support and enhance instruction, including classroom and school resources as well as distance learning and online learning opportunities.__**== Personal Blog

As I learned how to create teaching materials from each technology source in ED 505 assignments, we were required to document our findings, post our creations, and explain what the experience was like in our personal blog. I now have an archive of those assignments at my fingertips at school and home. I learned it is a good idea to save more things on the Internet. And as I read posts from classmates, I learned what they were doing with assignments in their classrooms.

Blog Post about Google Reader

Google Reader

I learned many new things from participating in Google Reader. I never knew this existed....a place to collect blogs that you were interested in. And I never realized so many educators put on the internet all their information they were researching! If I had the time, I would have loved to read every one of the posts and then investigated each post. However, this particular class was so time consuming along with my teaching job that I feel I just brushed the surface of what is there to learn. One of the main things I looked for in the blog posts were apps for the new iPads I had for my classroom. I did investigate many of these and purchased some. I feel Google Reader will be one of those things I look into more this summer and when I graduate and have more time to focus on my classroom.
