Hi Wendi,

With your work in Technology Literacy, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording conducted by Nellie Deutsch on Technology Integration.

Hi Wendi!

I'm glad all is well for you. I'm spending time catching up on assignments tonight. We got a puppy 3 days ago and it's turned our whole world upside down! In a good way :)

Hi Wendi!
I am so glad that you are taking the 3rd class also. Are you going on through the masters program? I'm planning on taking the next 3 classes this summer in Plymouth but then the last set back here in Michigan. See you in a few weeks!

Hi Wendi...
Of course, we don't ever get to see each other at school...so we'll have to communicate this way, right? :-)

Research Using the Internet

My research problem is this: In this technologically advanced society, what can teachers do to "guide" student discovery through the use of the Internet? The objective here is to teach students effective evaluation skills when researching.
I am beginning my research with this preface:

Digital Immigrants

I don’t know about you, but the whole idea of the digital world gets a bit fuzzy when evaluating how the learning is taking place. Let me explain…if a child is surfing the Internet and finds a page that is loaded with pictures and few words, how “actual” and authentic is the learning? Now, compared to a video game that is academically focused, how does an action-packed, thrill every moment, shooting people’s faces off game promote learning?
