On the week of June 27- July 3, I had my first week of "Nature of Schools". This is an online class about education which challenges the students to think about education in new, innovative, and creative ways. In an always changing society, it is important that we continue to update our methods of teaching to stay in pace with the ways our students will be changing.
We did some interesting team collaborative work too. It is a different experience having to collaborate with another person over the internet than how I am used to, which is normally in person in an actual classroom setting. Once I got used to using the WizIQ program, it because easier.
I am familiar with several of the programs and web sites we have been using so far because I remember them from Teaching With Technology from the Fall of 2010, so not all of this is as unfamiliar or intimidating to me as I'm sure it is to some of the other students.
