Blog #3

What: This week in class we started part one of UEN. We opened up an account and started figuring things out on the program.

So what: With UEN I will be able to work at home and in the classroom easier, this program was designed as a web page so we can edit it and then parents, student, and other teachers will be allowed to view my page. With the tabs I can add multiple subjects, it is a good way for me to stay organized and on top of things!

Now What: Now that I know about this program I hope to use it to close more communication barriers, this program is not only easy for me to use but it is easy to access and find information. In the classroom UEN will be nice to use for multiple reasons, it's quick and easy, keeps me organised, and allows easy access for others to be more involved in the students lives. I hope to keep up with my UEN account and have it be a helpful tool that students will find homework help on, parents will find information to help with their students on, and everyone will be involved.

Video Reflection: I loved this video. It showed that not only are teachers important but it is the students responsibility to make a difference in ones life. It may help to have a great teacher, but regardless it is ones own responsibly to make something of themselves and manifest their talents. Everyone has a talent, its a students responsibly to find out what it is. Education is extremely important, no matter what someone wants to become, they will do it better with an education, what one does with their education is what becomes of the future. Everyone can try, and there is no excuse to not try, in America we have the freedom to decide our own future and its not worth taking it for granted.

  1. This is a great description...I enjoyed reading it. I would like to suggest that you utilize the headings of What?, So What?, Now What?, and Video. This will ensure that you receive full credit for your postings in the future.

    Although I enjoy your postings for the most part, I need to get a bit more from you with each posting. You need to have about 3-4 sentences for What? You need to have 2 paragraphs for So What? and 2 paragraphs for Now What? plus 1 paragraph for the video. The posting was somewhat shallow and therefore that is reflected in the grade you earned.

    I enjoyed reading about you catching the spirit of discovery! I look forward to introducing you to new tools weekly.
