21st skills

I like how the skills are divided up from basic to higher level. It makes a teacher feel like she doesn't have to cover all of them just the ones that can be used in a lesson. The examples used in the classroom did a good job of showing how to keep the content and incorporate technology. Building on those concepts seems to improve other subject areas. I also liked how not everything the class did was technology based. There were still experiments and other things being done.

googlepages

NETA did a good job of going over the different ways to search for things on google! I like the search guidelines for looking for information. I think for third graders this is a good place to start for researching topics. It would narrow the information for them to look at. Then I wouldn't feel like I'm being pulled in 10 different ways. Searching would also be easier for me in case I want to bookmark the sites we need to go to.

first post for class

I am taking a class called 21st Century Learning this week. This will be my blog on this class. looking forward to new technology features and projects!
