An interesting web-based tool I might use while teaching is google scholar (http://www.googlescholar.com/) for research. I like this tool because it has a lot of accurated info. Students will be able to research on various subjects.

The google scholar is good for academic sources. I would use google scholar because it is popular too. Also google scholar is easily accesable.

A technology skill I would like to most learn next is refurbishing a computer, because I had to get my computer refurbished from having a virus, and the process was simple I wished I would have learned it myself so that I wouldn't have to pay to have it done.

I would like to achieve my future educational techonolgy-related goals through staying updated with technology and continue to practice different skills I've learned through this course.

Chapter 8 dicussed security issues, ethics, and emerging technologies in education. securities issues are very important. It breifly dicussed terms like virus and worms. It had good info.

It is good to read about security issues because everyone is at risks for these things. It's good to stay protected. It's good to minimize the chances of encounering a security issue.

Continueing with my assignments right now. Waiting for the semester to end so I can take a breathe. Taking it easy.

Chapter 7 was about evaluating educational technology. It briefly dicussed what is appropriate. I like the rubric it has because the table is good for evaluating.

I liked to read about evaluating technology. It is bad that some sources are not accurate and very misleading. This was good info for me.

I'm filling in for blogs. Hoping for stable weather. Just taking it one day at a time.
