Week 5

By January I need to have a PDP done to get my educators license. Right now I have the initial educator’s license for teaching. With the tools gained from this chapter, I hope to use many of the sites for my own PD and use that for my PDP which has to be submitted to the DPI. Like the character in the example from the chapter, I do use a lot of word processing and research using the web. I hope to increase the use of technology in my classroom which is why I enrolled in this program. There will be challenges to accomplishing PD in technology because if the constraints we have as teachers, such as access and time to learn new technology. Each time I find a website which I feel is useful for my class, or for my PD, I add the link to my delicious account. There are a plethora of useful websites from this chapter.. such as teach-nology.com, scholastic.com, ncrt.org, and internet4classrooms.com. I hope to use those in the future.
Chapter ten was also interesting to read because it really made me think about what a school might look like in the future. If many colleges are offering large portions of their classes online, maybe we should be offering more AP courses online through the H.S.
