So, I have a new layout...didn't like the old one! This one is pink! And I like it! lol ok I'm a dork.
I am very excited about christmas. I can't wait to see my family and friends over the holiday's. And there are parties (Danielle!). I love how friendly and spirited everyone is during this time of the year. It's probably my favorite time of the year, well other than my birthday. I haven't started christmas shopping yet. I've been to budy with school and work and well life in general. I am going to knit hats and give them as christmas presents. The good think this that I have a lot of extra yarn so I'm not spending any money!
So I am really enjoying this technology class. Learning about all the things I can put into a blog is really interesting. There are so many different elements to a blog! I never thought about using different technologies in a classroom. I continue to be amazed by all the new technologies in the classroom!

Reflection about Classroom Technologies
During my daily computer routine I check my e-mail, my facebook, the news, the weather and a few of my favorite blogs. I spend part of my morning reading what other people have to say about various topics from shoes to the news headline. I have become accustomed to reading the thoughts of other people and never would I have ever thought to create my own blog. So here it goes...
This blog was started for a class I am taking at Johnson and Wales University. The computer class is about using new technologies in a classroom. I find the subject extremely fascinating. The classroom has changed so much from when I was a young student; today there is the internet, blogs, podcasts, powerpoints, video clips, etc. I could not imagine integrating all of these new technologies available today in a classroom. I am excited to learn about how to use them in my future classrooms.
A blog is something that I would have never thought to use in classroom. But it could be very useful. For the teacher a blog could help keep assignments organized and available for students to review from home. A blog could be a place for students to display their own work or get feedback from peers. A classroom blog could be a great place for teachers to keep a running record of what his or her students are accomplishing. It could also be a place for parents to keep track of the classroom too.
After learning about blogs during the first two weeks of this technology class I hope and plan on using blogs in my class. I also hope to continue with this blog. So come along and learn about technologies for the classroom with me! :)
