Post #10

I was reading a few blogs of my classmates. I really found some to be quite interesting. For example, Desiree Siegel writes about how YOUTUBE is a valuable educational resource. Of all things, I found this to be truly unique in the fact that the site is a blog in its own sense as people from all corners of the globe post videos of all genres, some certainly useful. I will certainly consider it now as an educational resource as before it hadn't occurred to me just how useful it could be. 

The next technology related skill I would like to learn would be how to design a website. The reason I would like to do this is because I feel I could create a teacher page that would be really useful to my students. I could post assignments and important dates, even cool sites. The creation of a class website would keep students interconnected with the class and the internet. I would like to learn to make it user friendly and functional. 

I think that in order to acquire certain skills I may have to by teaching software, or check out various how-to sites. The amount of educational technology is infinite, and there is just so much I could do. Slowly, I need to incorporate it into my academia and my future goals as a teacher.
