I Pad Application
I must say I enjoyed exploring an Ipad for the first time ever. It is very interesting and I found my self spending quite a while exploring the Ipad. There is so much to be offered. I found many applications that were interesting an fun. The app I chose was called Scrap It! It is an app that allows you to do all kinds of things. It seemed to be very creative and fun. I would defenitly use this with my students in my future classroom. Digital scrapbooking goes mobile with Scrap It! Scrapbooking has evolved into an awesome classroom tool. In the classroom... here are some things you can do with this app:
- document a fieldtrip
- student portfolio
- classroom news
- capturing moments!
- scrapbook your way through a story/novel
- compile multiple projects into one document
- mobile bulletin board
- publishing student work to a website
- showcasing students
- How would you use Scrap It! in the classroom?
ISTE NETS-T-List five ways you will use technology with your future students.
1. When I become a Teacher I will inspire student creativity by promoting, supporting, and modeling creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness. I will let students express themselves.
2. When I become a teacher I will engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
3. When I become a teacher I will promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes.
4. When I bome a teacher I will model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments.
5. When I become a teacher I will develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress.
------------------------------------
When I become a teacher I will participate in local and global learning communities to explore creative applications of technology to improve student learning. I will also exhibit leadership by demonstrating a vision of technology infusion, participating in shared decision making and community building, and developing the leadership and technology skills of others.

WebQuest worksheet & Questions
Your Role
Your Impressions
1. Which two of example WebQuests listed below are the best ones? Why?
I feel like the Grow School Greens and Ancient Egypt were the best WebQuests overall. I feel that They were very colorful and grabed my attention. I also felt they were informative and useful. Grow Schools Green was very informative and interesting. Ancient Egypt was interesting an informative. The topic grabed my attention. Could be something I could relate to.
2. Which two are the worst? Why?
I feel that Underground Raiload and Ice Cream were the worst becuase yes they were very colorful but didn't seem as beneficial. I felt they could of been more informative and factual. Underground Railroad was not as grabing and interesting as the rest.
3. What do best and worst mean to you.
Best and Worst mean different things to me. Best means the absolute suburb of all the other items in the group. It couldn't be better, sows the best qualities and offers the most. Worst to me means it is uncolorful, not factual, not useful and does not seem to be needed to be used. Best can mean the most appealing and useful as well. Worst to me could mean useless and unappealing.
