Thing 10
The lesson plan assessment that I would change would be my unit on Checking. In this unit it is a hands on activity that has very little technology involved but I would incorporate a blog on checking and ask specific questions for the students to repond to based on their checking pkg that would verify that they were actually doing their own work and able to explain how they came up with their answer. This activity would be a form of evaluation that would also include peer evaluation through discussion posts on each others comments.

Things 23 - Reflection
WOW what an amazing assingment.....I am still fighting with one assignment....that darn voice thread, but have no fear I will not let it defeat me....LOL!!!
I have enjoyed each and everyone of these assingments....some much more that others....my favorites include wallwisher (what a great idea), wordle (this one I have used before), and Images....I loved working with these resources for digital imaging and will use these resources over and over with my classes. There were a few activities that I did not find as exciting but all in all it was well worth the time and stress to complete my 23 Things!
These activities have inspired me to be a more engaging teacher to my students through the use of all the technology tools and resources that we have had the opportunity of learning. With the knowledge and experience that I have obtained though this assignment I believe I have the confidence needed to promote technology tools to not only my students but also my fellow teachers!!!! I could do lesson like this all the time!!!!

Thing 22 - Reflection on WV Technology Conference
I attended the Game Design session hosted by Mrs Game design herself Denise Stalnaker. Denise is the state manager for Globaloria and taught in Randolph County. Her session explained the excitement of how students are learning through the use of websites, wikis, blogs and other technology tools while they learn how to create a game based on an educational issue. It was such an exciting session that I applied to become a part of the Globaloria world and just recently found out that I was accepted to teach this program starting next year.....I am EXCITED!!!!! and so are my students!!!!!
