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.
