final reflective post

Transforming With New Technologies has lots of good and important information that I need to know to be able to become the teacher that 21st century needs. Each chapter of this book taught me so much to help my students as well as my kids at home.All the experience that I had in this class is reflected in all of my assignments that I worked on in this class. With the help of Transforming Learning with New Technologies text book and Mrs. Coleman, I was able to achieve many things that I couldn't do my self.The Blog we created in class,the activities in class and the discussions and assignments made individually and in classmate groups really help me to assist better my students at work.It also made me think of how important is to know what you are teaching and how you are teaching in the class. I realized what a teacher needs to learn to become a real good teacher.

My blog help me to better understand  the chapters from the textbook (Transforming Learning With New Technologies).For instance technology integration stages and issues, from chapter 12 (299). This subject taught me how big of a challenge it is  for a teacher to be able to make a good lesson plan, so the students can feel engage with the daily lesson with out making the class boring or confusing. I had the chance to learn about  Multicultural education in  21 century schools subject .This really helped me understand and help better my students. Each one of them regarding their nationality has a special way of learning and I need to make sure that I can assist he or she on the best way possible. Every chapter in the book was very helpful to better help my students. I will keep my blog to go back and review all what I learned with Transforming Learning With New Technologies.

I really enjoyed the discussions with my classmates. The discussions we worked on in this class taught me to see and to understand each different subject in a different way. Sometime we have our own point of view, but when we can read what others think about the same subject, we can understand better  the meaning of it.  In my work,discussions helped me to better communicate with the teachers that I assist.We can dialogue better when I have the knowledge of how to use technology to assist ELL students better.

The activities that we did in every class was a very nice experience.It taught me different ways of how we can use technology to assist our students. I really enjoyed the activity of the GPS systems. This is a good activity to use with my six graders at the beginning of the year in world history.

the assignments that I worked on all helped me very much.The web quest assignment was a very good experience for me. I had the opportunity to talk with teachers that I assist and to talk about  how to work on lesson plans. that is something that I would like to keep for my records.I learned how to research and to evaluate a  website page to make sure that is safe for my students to navigate.

Collaboration helped me under stand many information ,like for example how can home work,summarizing and note taking,Cooperative learning and other subjects can help our students to be more successful in school. From my point of view, this class as others that I have attend this semester is just perfect ,the only thing I can think of is that we need more time to explore all the different good information to research in our 21st technology  class.

Hi, my name is Laura Guzman Moreno. i am from Mexico i have been in Naples for 9 years. i have 3 kids,2 boys and 1 girl. i am looking in to be an elementary teacher.i never thought about been a teacher until my first year working in gulf view middle school. i been taking classes since 6 years ago taking one class per semester.i enjoy working as a teacher assistant. i like anything that has to be with helping kids and parents.usually what i do is translation.i'm also in college classes because i want to set an example for my kids for the reason that i don't have many graduates in my family.i want them to go to college and to have a career which i couldn't have when i was young.

my philosophy is that teachers need to be patience and to really love to be one. i think that to be a teacher is a very big responsibility. with my experience in gulf view  i see teachers always working extra hours to try to help on the best way their student.

Chapter six has very interesting subjects, and all are very helpful information for teachers and students I believe. As I was reading the  chapter it was pretty difficult for me to pick something to write about. But building a standards connectors is something that I do like to have, is like a teachers diary,we can have everything in there. As transforming learning with new technologies mentions, "to build standard connector, you need access to the internet and one of the data management or social bookmarking technologies"(138). This is one reason why this coarse has been so hard for me because we need to be computer masters to be able to achieve what a teacher of the 21 century needs to achieve. It is nice to know that I  have started to build my own standard connector with what I already have learned in this coarse. It is very challenging but I will keep on going.
Webquest,virtual field trips, and video conferencing sounds very interesting. I haven't hear about that yet, but I will investigate more about how it really works.
The trip in webquest really sounds interesting. "Virtual field trips,takes students to places all over the world without ever living their classroom or school computer lab" ,as transforming  learning with new technology mentioned (141). I really would like to have that experience. 
Lesson plan is another subject that got my attention. teachers seems to teach the class like so easy but to create that lesson plan really make me pull my hair. It explains what a lesson plan needs to have ,but when I go to the web page is like different stuff in there. I really enjoyed working on this lesson plan. even if you don't make a very good lesson plan ,It trains to give a better explanation of the lesson.

 Reason for teaching with clickers,
According to transforming learning with new technology, student participation systems with clickers have numerous instructional advantages (288). I enjoyed and agreed with this information about working with clickers in any subject in class. active learning means that students and teachers has the opportunity to know more of each other. Students feel free to answer questions with out the embarrassment of being laughed at by other students. Is also an advantage for the teacher because she can see who needs more assistance to incompletely understand certain problem. So when the teacher offers help to the student he or she feels more comfortable to express their thoughts on the certain problem with the teacher.
 Another advantage for the teacher is that with the clickers, she enjoys more time with students because she is getting Real time feedback (290). This means that she gets instance answers on class work,homework or quizzes. Teacher has extra time because working with clickers she will not need to enter grades because it will automatically be entered by the students responses.

Students involvement means kids get very interested in answering questions with out getting embarrass for answering a wrong response. Students have told    me  its okay if I'm wrong because no one will make fun of me for getting the wrong answer. My ELL students feel a lot better when they answer math problems on clickers because they feel shy of their accent when they speak. 
Question entered instruction is also a very good time to use the clickers with groups of students. In my experience, my ELL students are placed in groups with non ELL students who can speak their language, and it is very convenient when they are having discussions. its easier for them to get involved in the lesson and to answer questions in groups. My ELL students feel more comfortable  to answer question with the clicker instead of speaking in class.

Electronic Grading Soft Ware is a virtual record keeping program.It calculates and grades,tests,quizzes,class  assignments, home works and participation just to name a few. this program can be used by teachers in all the school or as personal. this soft ware also keeps track of attendance,support lesson, planning and moreover manages teachers correspondences.This fabulous soft wares can even perform administrative functions. the best thing I like about this software is that teachers can easily find out where her students needs more practice because of the quickness of this software to calculate the grades on all areas in the class and even the homework. Teachers can easily find out what lesson students need to work on more.

quiz.4teachers is a collaborative learning. Is a  very good website for planning the class. It is more like a blog with many websites to explore depending in what subject we want to use. personally, I am more attracted to math because it's what I do the most in my job. 

so I found a very good website in quiz.4teachers, about math. it is called buzzmath.com. It has a very good variety of different math situations from pre-k to 12 grade to explore.It has many other websites for all subject to explore.

      Technology Integration Stages and Issues.

Integration in Technology is a very important factor in today's 21st century learners. As teachers we have to commit our selves to learn the right use of technology. It is kind of hard for us teachers to be, when we as students can't afford to access this kind of technology. If we really want to be successful as teachers we first need to be successful in technology. At my place of work we just started using mobymax.com and the teacher that I assist was very exited today when she was sharing with me that this website was very good because she didn't need to calculate grades because mobymax.com calculate the grades for each student.Our students are practicing vocabulary on mobymax.com. I think that everything has to be with the teacher willingness to navigate and learn how to achieve all these different kinds of websites available for us to better teach our 21st century learners.Transforming Learning with new Technologies mentions, "A technology-using educator can defined as someone who:

makes informed choices                            

Explores technology

Promotes changes (299)

Making informed choices means that we as teacher need to the best website to help our students to be engage with the daily lesson with out making the class boring or confusing.
Explores technology means that it is well define that we can use technology with our students to write about any issues to critic or to analyse for example politics in our economic class.
Promote changes, I really liked how Transforming learning with new Technology defines it, "promotes change at the classroom ,school building, and system levels. Rather that "change for change's sake," change should be intended to make it possible for every student to reach her or his full learning potential."(299). I had this experience in one of my classes that I assist . The teacher made a change for technology, just for "change's sake"! the change didn't work because he didn't put his effort to fulfill his and the students needs. He didn't under stand how we suppose to play the game and what the lesson was in the game.so he didn't have no choice but to stop the activity and learned by himself the website till he completely engage with the activity so he could explain the students how and what they were learning with that game.
I really enjoined reading about tracking Technology Trends. As a teacher to be I know I need to keep on going navigating the web with new website and programs that we have every year. I just wish I could have more time to navigate all these web pages to learn more about new technologies for teachers and student and in general for all human beings.

chapter nine is very interesting as well as all what I have read in this book. As I was reading Power Point and next-Generation Presentation,I can agree on this subject about power points because the language art  teacher that I assist at work, uses power point with the students and they really enjoy the class while they are practicing their phonetic skills. As Transforming Learning with New Technologies says " Technology educators think about power point in terms of information presentation design-the arrangements of writing and pictorial information so the intended audiences can easily and clearly understand it" (223). I totally agree with this article. L/A teacher teaches the phonetic skills and  while teaching the students, the students are making their own power point with vocabulary, notes and pictures.power point works very well because it is more convenient to   go back to it, in contrast if they do their notes on paper they always misplace it and they can't see their work again.

literacy Learning with Digital Cameras , I haven't had the opportunity to use this method. it sounds interesting and i will keep researching it ,so I can use it with my Ell students. looks like is the same thing as power point but with their own pictures.Concept Books sounds good for my ELL students and is very good. Students remember more when we use picture books with the vocabulary. As Transforming Learning with New Technologies says "As resources for beginning readers and English Language Learners, concept books offer another opportunity for teachers to use digital photography to promote literacy learning" (231).I agree with this comment. students can engage more with the new language when we use this method.

I also read about Next Generation Web 2.0 Presentation Tools. it got my attention the Animoto subject because I remember that my son use it last year in P.E class,he need it to make a video of his own.He was exited about it and did a wonderful job.
