Blog Post #9

     As this class draws to a close I prepare my last required blog entry for the semester, I have learned a great amount of information from this class that I hope to use in other classes and my future career as a high school physics/math teacher as well. We have explored various amounts of technology that can affect education and other aspects that may impact our professional lives as teacher. I have had fun interacting with other students in the classroom and learned different things from their own projects and input that I didn't focus on within my own assignments. I look forward to working with them in other classes and ultimately as peers in the classroom.

     I reviewed The Credibility Challenge and was able to find a majority of the of the identifiable potential problems in dealing with certain falsies of content or credibility. I was able to discern the difference between the different web address types and varying levels of bias or opinion versus facts.  I would further recommend this type of challenge to be given in a classroom setting to my own students to be able to identify their own potential browsing habits and further their own opinions of reliable content.

    I've really enjoyed reading your insights and watching your presentations. I believe that as teachers we need to be students as well. I always learn something from every class and technology is a field that is constantly changing. Hopefully, you'll be able to integrate technology into your future lessons.

     As I develop my own personal learning into this Technology for the Classroom course, I think of opportunities that my instruction as a future math and physics teacher might be influenced by technology. I realize that current and future technologies in the classroom will have a significant impact on my own views of teaching and how technology can supplement in-class instruction. I remember going through high school from 2003 - 2007 in Mountain View High School and only becoming familiar with technology through use of computers and such during my personal time, while only a hand full of subjects focused on electronics and we couldn't use them to much of an extent and technology in the classroom was shunned for a large part as well. Looking at what's required today, students are not only expected to utilize various technologies in the classroom, they're expected to develop, analyze, and create various projects while utilizing vast resources and global networking abiliti...

  Fake news isn't necessarily a new subject that's been floating around, especially on the internet. I'm fond of reading satirical articles online from The Onion or military related news subjects on Duffel Blog and sharing them with friends and family when they are appropriate for certain situations. " Some websites were designed to be intentionally misleading. These websites may be parodies, satire, hoaxes, or designed to show students the importance of questioning information found on the web" (Evaluating Internet Resources, n.d.).  I have always been weary of what I read online or through any type of bias media postings, but this weeks readings have reminded myself on how to more thoroughly identify and review potentially troublesome websites. In reviewing a website's credibility I haven't used a specific format in my own personal browsing habits, but I tend to look at the overall look and feel to the information that's being portraye...

     I can't say that I've had too much experience in making and editing videos before a recent assignment in class. In preparation to make my video I needed to figure out what I wanted to do, so I did a few things to help me figure out what I wanted to focus on. I reviewed some of my physics equations and wondered which one I could make into a video and create something fun. Saint Martin's University Grand Staircase Lacey, WA      So, once I decided on focusing on kinematics of moving particles I moved onto trying to figure how I wanted to demonstrate the principle. After a walk around campus I had decided on focusing my kinematics demonstration on the grand staircase of Saint Martin's University. We were given an opportunity to checkout cameras from the O'Grady Library on campus, but decided to utilize my own Samsung Gear 360 camera  and record myself working through some problems on a white board.          Once I fo...
