I am looking forward to my group project! Hannibal Public Schools use smartboards in their classrooms but I have never had the opportunity. This will be a very worthwhile project for me as it is something that I will definitely use in the future.
I am learning alot in this class. There is so much more to learn!
Today a quest speaker spoke to my students about Internet Safety and Cyberbullying. The presentation was in collaboration with the FBI and had personal stories of victims which really had an impact on my teens. A couple of my students shared their own experiences of harrassment and their information being obtained by strangers. Very interesting and scary for those of us with children. I am interested to hear your thoughts about cyberbullying.
I enjoyed doing PowerPoint in class. I will certainly need to do it on my own so I can play around and find all the cool things I can do with it.
Have a great week and happy blogging!

I agree that it will be fun to learn about smart boards and knowing how to use them will be very beneficial. That is really great that the kids that you teach are learning about cyber bullying because I think it is really important for kids to learn that picking on other people is not cool. It can lead to low self-esteem, a self identity crisis and even suicide in some cases. It is a good idea to teach kids not to pick on others.
I'm glad you mentioned cyber bullying last class. The small amount of information that you gave about it really caught my attention.
