July 6th

 In today's class we started out with a 17 minute Ted talk by Sugata Mitra that show the power of children's will and desire to learn, and if left alone to their own devices they will accomplish amazing things. It really was a facinating glimpse into the possibilities of education and technology.

We also learned about a program called Jing, which proved to be very useful. It allows you to capture screen shots and videos and save them for future use. This will be a great tool to help save things that would normally be difficult to save. I can't wait to try it out.

Finally we created out own wikispace for teachers. the will give us our own LMS system that can be used as a hub for your class to check assignments and look at upcoming lessons. you can make into what ever kind of space you wish and customize it depending on the class you are teaching. Overall again the tools we used today will be very useful to use in planning my lessons and with my learners.
