Final Unit Plan

Blackboard is down currently. It is so frustrating when that happens especially during the end of class. I wonder why there are many problems like that. I guess it pays to do assignments as soon as they are posted. For our class at least most assignments are outside blackboard.

Final unit Plan

I got some good feedback as far as modifications and additions. Now I see how all of this tie in together in creating a unit plan. In comparison to you guys I got some work to do. I hope my final will be as good as you guys.

Elluminate Assignment

I thought that this technology was an excellent example of bringing the the classroom and live instruction directly to your front. The video I viewed was "Learning in the new world: Time to Overhaul Training", by Chris Majer, aired on 20100330. The video was about how their organization will come out and evaluate your methods of instruction. They will also give you feedback and advice on how to better run an organization. Well known organizations they assisted were the United States Army, AT&T and Colombia records. The theory actually worked because of the measures of effectiveness it had with the military. Just by changing the way of an organization works has positive and effective results.
The Pros of this technology is that you can have an audience from anywhere the internet is available. You can cover great distance and save money by attending a seminar. The cons of this is if you are in an area that can not pick up the internet service. Using this in the class room is great because you may have a student that is in the hospital or at home due to injury or illness. Communicating with parents is good when they are in the military and they can view in on a day of class.

Favorite Technology 2

Our instructor was disappointed about most of the class selecting power point as a favorite. I still like power point but the other technologies are interesting too. Power point is old and several versions have emerged but the technologies taught in this class are very usable in the classroom compared to power point.

Power Point

Power point is an interesting program because you can discover something new on it with each use. It is used for almost all presentaions today to deliver to students and audiences. You can create picture slide shows for personal viewing of for educating purposes.

Favorite Technology

Actually I have several favorites. I like them all that was introduce to us in this class because it was the first time I have ever used them. Now I know were to research and reference using the technology introduced to us in this class. Power Point was my pick because it was the very first thing I was forced to use with presentations and classes. So all introduced in this class has a little favortism in them.

Final Unit Plan

The final unit plan is different and new to me. I see how you can build your own personal reference with the collection of other plans by different people. I know that unit plans help you develop lesson plans and also orient lessons that week after the teaching of the unit plan.
