Social Networking
Social networking to me as of when this class started was facebook. I have my account but only socialize with my high school friends, family and allow my students that have graduated. I have to admit I am not a social butterfly like other people. I enjoy reading other peoples comments and sharing pictures but that is all I pretty much use it for. I guess I am still kind of shy to all this technology.
I feel social networking will help me with my professional career. De La Salle is a very small private school. I am the only career and technical teacher and this makes it difficult to collaborate with other teachers. Hopefully I will be able to use this tool to meet and learn more from others.

Using technology to make a difference in education
I believe we need to utilize technology in education in order for us as teachers and for our students. Over the past week while learning about RSS, blogging, Google docs, zoho and many others I realized how behind I am in technology. If we do not bring all different types of technology into our classrooms our students are going to fall behind. I thought the videos of the students using google docs proves that the kids are much more interested involved when they have different learning tools.
Increasing your skill in using technology
I did not feel like I was this behind in technology until this class. I knew there were a lot of tools out there but I never thought there was so many types of ways to create a document with so many similar and different technology tools at the same time. I have to say I am very overwhelmed already this week. I am excited about learning this new technology but I feel like this is a lot of new information and we are moving quickly. I plan to take what I learn from this class and teach my family and my students at school. I am very interested in seeing where other people are in using technology or even if they are aware of what is available to them. I had no idea what I was in for. My plan is to use the information I learn in class and incorporate it into my classroom as much as possible.

Visually Who Am I?
Using Powerpoint we were assigned to describe ourselves visually. My presentation describes where I have attended school, where I teach, technology tools I have utilized and my family.
RSS Page
One of the technologies we learned about was the RSS reader. It is a great way to view all of your favorite sites in one place.
