Had to come home and try out this site that I had heard about, but had never tried. Laurie you do such a great job of explaining and showing us how to us so many amazing tools to enhance learning in our classes. I made a quick review for area and perimeter, can 't wait to try it with my math class tomorrow. Is there a way to share the quizzes you've made so that teams could take certain ones and divide up the job? I see the share button but does the person just use that code or do they make a copy?

Reflection on readings
What is the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge?
I enjoyed reading this article because the visual really put into view just how balanced instruction has to be while using technology integrated into lessons. One of the issues I have worried about since hearing about the one to one devices, is that it could become a babysitter for teachers who a). don't know how to effectively use it, or b). they use it as busy work to occupy students.
Teachers and districts are going to need to be proactive about training teachers to use technology effectively and purposely in their lessons. Teachers will need to weigh the option of using technology as opposed to paper pencil. When does it make more sense to go paper pencil. If lesson takes twice as long to do on computer, may not be a good use of technology intergration.
This week we tried out the Google Tour to build our Oregon Trail 3D across Nebraska.
Here's a link to see a student example.
