What I learned in Technology
Wow, it has been 15 weeks of class. When I first start to learn about how technology class was nothing. I mean I knew how to type on a computer and do spreadsheets and stuff like that. I never knew how to make a webpage or data sheet or even a commix or make a movie. I am still working on learning how to the movies.
I feel what I learned in this class will help me to learn even if I decided to go into a field instead of education. Technology is for everyone.
Thank you to Lisa who made the class fun to learn and very interesting. You challenge us to go beyond our comfort zone. I wonder like a lesson 5000 days on the internet I wonder what the next 5000 days will be.
Thank you to all my classmates for all the help and input you gave me in the class. I want to give Larry a special thank you. You were always there for everyone when every I needed help and you will make a great teacher.

Google Earth
Google Earth
Google Earth is a great asset to teachers and to future teacher. I found it to be very helpful in the navigation of the site.
The site I found to be interesting was the Google Maps and the California Missions. I have been to the following missions when visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Paso Robles California.
• Mission of San Luis Obispo de Tolosa
• Mission of San Jose
• Mission of San Miguel Archangel
This would a great use for teachers if they are studying the history of California. I love history so it was great seeing the mission in your life and I think it would give a great understanding our students when we are teaching to show that history is real.
Another thing I like was the use of Google for studying of science and I was thinking how great it would be to use it to combine lesson of history, science, and math. An example of this could be a history teacher teaching about the history of the California, and science could use it to teach their students about earthquakes or even about the Morro bay Rock that stands 576 feet tall. A math teacher could use the information given from the science teacher to figure out the percentage of earthquakes.
Google earth has endless possibilities for teacher and students and it would be a waste for teachers not to use in their classrooms.

Educational Philosophy
Educational Philosophy Blog
I think that Educational philosophy for teachers and students is a relationship and with all relationship there will be some problems and some rewards in teaching. Each of us who are learning to become teachers or already teachers has to remember that each student is different and what may work for one might not work for another.
You can ask any teachers that yes there are challenges when teaching. However, the rewards out way anything that could be challenge. A good example of this http://thereflectiveteacher.wordpress.com/2006/06/07/statement-of-educational-philosophy/ in the right column Inspirational Teaching. The blog is called Romeo, Juliet, and the reason why.
Educators are role models, even though we made not think it is up us to maintain an atmosphere where children who come into our class feel comfortable and confident.
In this week, we learned about different types of educational Philosophy at first I would admit I was overwhelmed with all the information that was out there to learn from doing our researched. The one thing that stuck in my mind was the four types of Educational Philosophy.
• PROGRESSIVISM
• "PERENNIALISM
• "ESSENTIALISM
• RECONSTRUCTIONISM
The one that I found to be the best use for me in a classroom would be the Progressivism that is to be is where teachers encourage students by using hands on approach.
I know right now that I will continue to grow as teacher and we as teaches will always continue learn and as we learn our students will grow with us. My educational philosophy will changed as I continue by journey in teaching.

Veronica Blog on enjoying Technology
What were the positive sides of Technology Class.?
Like most of the class, I did not see a computer in my school years until I was a senior in high school. During that time, it was just basis uses of the computers. The one thing that I really enjoy in our class was the WebQuest; yes sometimes I wanted to pull out my hair because something would not go right on the WebQuest. I think that one lesson that will be very beneficial teachers in a classroom. Another lesson that I really enjoy doing was our database lesson it was fun making a lesson plan using ideas from other teachers and ideas of your own. The power points were very creative I will admit that at first I did not like doing them. I thought something was missing, however, at the end I really enjoying doing the power points and look forward to doing them again.
Technology has enriched my life in so many ways, from taken class online and continuing my education, to e-mailing my friends and family down home in Florida. Technology is great learning tool that each of us will continue to learn in the future.

video logs
Veronica Blog
Well this week we were suppose to either do a video log or view vlogs what a task that we had to do. I never do how many people vlogs about anything. Just a few examples were there were many vlogs on ASL deaf community for video blogging to showing how dreadlocks do. There were many inspirational vlogs about how people cope a disease that they have just as a boy who aspenger syndrome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbgUjmeC-4o. Another example of video logging was a young girl talking about cooking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7eyPtADybs. I will have to admit some of the videos logs were a little too much. I am not sure if video logging is for me right I do not have the equipment to do video logging. However being shy, I am not sure if I could put myself out there for the world to see. I do feel that video logs will be more and more in common in the future. I will admit I did try to find video logs that were educational most of them I found that I saw were students telling how bad their teachers were. I know if I can searching I will find more. I think again that vlogs will be use in our children future education needs.

Veronic Blog on Schools Kill Creativity
Veronica Blog on schools kills creativity
"Education takes you into the future that we can't grasp. (Robison) What a powerful statement. It is true how much education has become so unpredictable. Children use to be able to expression themselves in the arts. However, many school now have taken away the music programs and art programs because of cost and because of more focus is on Mathematics and English ever, many school now have taken away the music programs and art programs because of cost and many feel that it is not necessary to teach children about art and music.
"If don't prepare kids that okay to do wrong, then as adult they never learned to come up with things." (Robison) I thought about this and I watch how my seven old daughter was getting very upset because you she could not remember her spelling words and she ended tearing up the paper because she was suppose to creative sentence with her words.
I like how Sir Ken Robinson talk about how "why don't we teach dance every day like we do math." I agree with Sir Ken Robison when he talks about how we only teach from the waste up. To me this has me thinking what great idea, we worried about our kid's health, and how they are getting heavy and heavy each year. Many people do not realize that we use math in music and in dance. Studies have shown that more people that use music and art have a better standing of math.
It is scary to think that because of so much pressure on kids today that feel that is different can be a curse.

Power Point
Veronica Blog on Power Point
The worst Power Point that I had every experience was one I was in my geology class. In the class, we had to make a power point presentation for our final class. One of the presentation was very confusing the person use different sound effects, different fonts, each slide had a different fade in and out before you saw what the presentation was about.
Because of the things going on in the power point, it was very hard to keep focus on what the power point was suppose to be about.
