New Term

Working on School Work Stinks When Sick

 

 

 

 

Who knew Dr. Cowan would create such a monster. Here it is a new term and even though I have a new teacher for this summer class I'm hanging on to my blog. Its a great way to vent. 

This week we had to create a presentation about Technology Integration:

1. Technology Integration: What is it? What it isn't.

2. Explain the difference in the following terms: a) technology integration, b)Education technology, c) Instructional technology, d) Information and communications technology (ICT)

3. What does the research day about the effects of technology use for teaching and learning on the academic achievement and student success of elementary aged students?

 

It had to be a YouTube video between 5 - 15 minutes in length.  We could use anything we had used in pass classes.  Not really a difficult thing.

 

So this is what happens when you get sick on the day its due: your computer gets a virus and won't let you do anything until you clean it up and you miss a great talk at church because, first you have to drag yourself out of bed. Then when you turn your computer on to put the final touches that virus you picked up freezes your computer.  I did all the things that Dr. Cowan would expect from me and then it took almost 4 hours to get my computer to work.  I had reached the 11th hour with only 4 minutes left to get it into my Black Board. When all was said and done I had to put only the tiny YouTube I created as part of the total production. You've got to be kidding me, all my work and the product I had produced is simply the final product in a blog that only I read. It couldn't be due one minute after  midnight, I'm sure I might have made it in time with just one more minute. Okay, maybe this week I'll do a simpler product for this weeks assignment. Save time, save headaches. Dr. Cowan would be proud.

 

SO THIS IS WHAT I HAD HOPED TO SUBMIT INTO BB
