week 3

I had never seen, or heard about the Inspiration program, and honestly, I think it is a great idea. I know that when I was in gradeschool, it was hard to understand how to make maps, outlines or really and organization. I didn't understand how it helped. I think this program will and does help students in many ways. I wish we had it when I was in school!'

I think research papers are the best use of technology. It makes the students think outside the box about where they are going to have to find their information. Students can help eachother with feedback and corrections by reading and reviewing their peer's papers. I have done it before in the classroom and it honestly helped me to see it in another student's point of view. You can use technology tools to help with feedback and review by maybe having a blog where they can post their papers, and students may comment on them. The first time I had to teach a new topic was a little scarry. I am a dance teacher, and I'm use to teaching high school girls. I was given a class of 3-4 yr old girls. My biggest fear was they wouldn't learn the necessary material to improve their skills. So I researched how to teach, and what to teach and ways they would learn the best. I'm in my 4th week and it has gotten so much easier!!
