Challenge Three-Web 2.0 Creation

Teachers can share their creations easily using Google Documents. I created this simple presentation as a way to present students with their learning objectives during writing...I CAN Statements for Writing.

I am looking for a new way to monitor my reading groups. If you have an efficient way of monitoring, I would love to hear about it.  You may even want to post it on Google Documents.

Challenge Two-Commenting

I commented on a post at Academic Challenge Nuture Potential. I am curious about the different technologies available to other teachers, so my comment was actually a question, "What technologies are you currently utilizing?"

I have to admit when I first posted this, I just wanted to get the assignment over with. I made a true comment today. I commented on Technologically Challenged about our similar experience with Challenge Two. It took a long time to figure out, but I'm glad that I stuck with it. The Technology Challenge has taught me so much. I have found all that I've learned to be extremely helpful and interesting. You were right...Google Reader is addicting!

Challenge Two-Connecting

I just signed up on Google Reader to view all of my favorite websites in one spot. What a great invention.
I am following some great blogs. I love to read and I am always on the look out for the lastest book for my students. For this reason, I am a follower of Jen Robinson's Book Page. I also love to eat, and some of the best recipes available you will find at Have Your Cake and Eat It Too. Little Birdie Secrets is another great site that I visit for crafting tutorials and inspiration. Don't miss these other great sites...

Challenge One- Why I am Participating

I am participating in the DPS Technology Challenge in order to learn more about technologies available to enhance teaching and the learning of my students. I am excited about the idea of blogging with others about technology and education. I am looking forward to becoming more computer literate throughout this experience.
