Hello,
This week we had a speaker come talk to us about wordpress. He went through all the steps of putting together a very simple website. All the information I learned today will be very helpful when I am creating my final project. I am looking forward to learning more about word press as I go along with creating my project. We also talked some more about dream weaver. Although it seems like an interesting program I am choosing to use wordpress for convenience. I am using wordpress because I can work on it anywhere. As the weeks are winding down this will be the last new thing we learn about. One more blog post to go.
Until next week

Week 8
Hello,
This week we took a look at coding. I have never had any experience with coding. We started out on a beginner program called hour of code. It was an easy introduction to coding. It also was a lot of fun. They make coding in to games and puzzles to make it easier to understand. Coding has never been something I have delta with before but I actual found it very interesting. Working with this program made me want to learn more. Hour of code is a great program for any age. As we keep moving forward with technology learning how to code will be a great skill. I look forward to learning more next week.
Until next week,

Week 7
Hello,
This week we looked a little more at podcasts and had sometime to work on our assignment. I am going to read a children's story for mine. Although I have not finished I have learned a lot about the program. Today we also started working on building an app. We first took a look at some apps and planned a lesson around them. Then we used the website Ibuildapp.com to make our own app. Although we only went through the basics I learned a lot. An app can be very helpful in communicating with parent and helping keep in touch and letting them know what is happening. Making an app is a cool process and one that will be a useful tool when I become a teacher. An app is an easy way for parents to stay informed. This week was very informational and I am looking forward to discovering more.

Week 6
Hello,
This week we finished creating Google earth tours. I did mine on places to visit in Oregon. This program can be helpful when teaching children about different places around the world. This week we also started to look at making podcasts. Podcast can be a great tool for children to use on their own for extra resources as well as incorporating them into the classroom. Our new project is to create a pod cast. For this project we can do a number of things including reading a book or going through the letter sounds. Today we just took a look at the garage band application, but we have yet to actually start the podcasts. We also talked about the challenge of making multiple choice questions meaningful and to require deeper thought. We also took a look at how to tell if a website is reliable or not and went through some of the ways to decipher whether or not a website is reliable.
