UEN

What: In class we learned how to use and create a UEN web page for personal and public use.

So What: UEN alone, I've found, contains a lot of information for teachers. Regardless of creating a web page, their are endless amounts of teacher helps within UEN. I hope to find many more useful things as I explore the possibilities. Creating the UEN public page was also illuminating, because, for me, I feel it fit the things I desired in a class website better than google sites. I feel I was able to maneuver and add all the extra stuff I wanted... although I know either works for classroom sites, I really like the flexibility and the helpful teacher stuff provided by UEN.

Now What: Well, I still have a lot of exploring to do... I am really taking in all the technology I am learning and it is a little overwhelming at times... I just hope I remember all this cool stuff when I need it most. As for UEN I still have to finish my assignment and then I will really know how it suits me, but I think (so far) that I really like the possibilities of UEN for classroom web pages -- I feel I could do almost any classroom task on this thing! Also, I think UEN is a little easier for student management... at least I think students would be able to maneuver through it better.

Movie Post: "Did you Know?"
Very eye opening, but the movie seemed a lot like last weeks movie "Pay Attention." I feel these movies are good at opening my eyes to the lack of education we are providing students, but I also feel their is a void of how to FIX this problem. Neither of the videos really gives me an idea of how to teach English with all this new amazing technology and information, and I am no tech geru I need help figuring it out and thinking up teaching opportunities. Although I like the video, I wish it provided me with more in depth ideas for using technology information in my day to day Lit. class.
