Fair Harbor/Copyright Cove NETS-T IV
Copyright Ad
This is a collaborative project that I worked on with others utilizing Google Docs. We had to investigate a website titled Copyright Cove and then right a narrative describing Copyright and Fair Use law and how they relate to teaching. I can now use the information obtained to help follow Copyright Law in my future classroom.

Power Point NETS-T I, II, III
NETS for Students Pp
This is a Power Point presentation that I created as a new way to enhance student learning. In order to create this power point I had to master the use of presentation software to create a piece that was visually pleasing. I used titles, hyperlinks, and many graphics to prepare a presentation on NETS-S. I will be able to use similar presentation software to prepare future visual aids for use in my classroom.

Journal 10
Brock, D.H. (2009).Show Us the Money! Learning & Leading with Technology, 37(1)
The article Show Us the Money! discusses the fact that all students do not have equal opportunities or resources that should be afforded to every student. Not every student has access to technology in their home, so at the very least they should be able to have access to educational technology in the classroom. This particular article discusses how to ask for and present your case for your district and students to receive government funds in order to have access to technology in the classroom for the students you teach.
What is important to realize when asking for funding to support classroom technology?
It is important to remember who you are teaching. What kind of resources do your students have? What SES do they come from, are your students in particular need of receiving extra funds for technological purposes. Do you have evidence showing that the extra funding can really help the students in your classroom demographic? It is also important to realize the way you present your case makes a huge difference in the granting of sparse funds.
What are some examples of research that could aid you in being awarded aid for technology?
A comparison between test scores for those schools who have ample technological resources versus schools who have very little would be a good example to use. Also just an overview of the many ways technology could help in the classroom with creativity and learning through k-12th grades could be very convincing.

Journal 9
Mader, J (2009).Science + Technology = Creativity and Fun. Learning & Leading with Technology, 37(1)
The article Science + Technology= Creativity explores the incorporation of technology with science instruction in order to be in compliance with NETS-S. Many interesting and creative application were discussed one being using microphones to make podcasts detailing their scientific discovery. The article stresses the importance of introducing the many technological tools while eventually letting the students imaginations grow to a point that they will be able to choose which tools they will use in creative ways.
What are the benefits in incorporating digital technologies in subjects such as science?
I think incorporating the use of technology in creative ways can further the understanding of the subject once students become involved in the creative process. Students are getting the opportunity not only to learn the core subject but utilize and expand on their creativity, while learning to utilize different technological methods.
Can Technology be used in this way among even the youngest of students?
I believe even the youngest of students can express creativity through the use of technology with guidance and help. Technology is an excellent teaching tool that even kindergarteners can benefit from. The tasks just have to be age and subject appropriate. Students at this level can also speak into microphones and with the help of the instructor make their own podcasts about their particular subjects.
