Blog Post 7

This chapter was about the curriculum. Some parts of the curriculum included GLE which are things that students must master before being passed on to another grade. Related topics are curriculum goals and bench marks which are things students should know at certain stages. Technology integration covers many areas such as using DVDs to give a lesson to using computer labs. This chapter gave many helpful ideas on how to use technology in the classroom. The ASSURE model is a guide for lesson planing and stands for "analyze the learner, state objectives, select methods, media, and materials, utilize methods, media, and materials, require learner participation, evaluate and revise.
Since the last post, I learned about Wiki Spaces. I definitely did not know that even existed. I thought it was really cool because it can almost be like an educational version of myspace. It was a bit difficult to navigate.
Over the summer, I might be able to work at the my church's preschool. They are still in the process of opening it but one of the people in charge said that I will probably be able to get a job there. I'm really glad about that because I do love kids and it will also look very good on a resume. : )
