My pains and struggles this week have been the blocked sites and snafu's in the technology through the district. I worked on my Animoto video at home because I wasn't able to preview it in the lab. One thing I have thought of this week is that I want to integrate more differentiated instruction strategies in my lesson plans. One of the biggest issues when I teach technology to students is the different skill levels the students have and trying to make sure I am scaffolding for all students. I still need to plan a schedule for the year with students. I would like to use Weebly to create a portfolio of my lesson plans. I plan to stick with Google sites for the actual units since it integrates easily with my documents, student documents, etc. However the design elements in Google are very limited compared to the other Website builders that we tried.
My success this week has been trying new tools such as Animoto and Weebly. Overall, my immediate plans are finish my wetland animals Webquest, add to the Vermont webquest, make a brief Google Earth webquest, work on my Portfolio page (weebly) and make a loose plan of the units for the year. I also want to publish my animoto video (DCF books) and make an xtranormal video - I was thinking and introduction about me page.
