Unit 7 Musings

The idea of creating connections is very important in the high school classroom, as I begin to plan my Ed Web I am trying to envision what it is going to look at. Although the samples have helped, I am still working on wrapping my head around how to make students feel a connection. Part of the problem is making them functional for the students. As I continue to work on this and put ideas to paper it is becoming clearer. The first Ed Web will be a challenge and something to build on from.

Unit 6 Musings

In our You Tube activity, I thought it was great to see the different clips that everyone was able to share and look at. Utilizing You Tube though in the classroom is difficult for me as a high school teacher though due to it being blocked on our system. In order to utilize this piece of technology I have to rip it using a program called Sea Tubes to be able to have it available for use in my class. My district has blocked a number of these sights due to the chance of students viewing and posting inappropriate material online and Teacher Tube does not have the adequate resources that I am looking for yet.
