ACCESS

This program helps students to prepare for the AP exams. It also helps them prepare for their graduation exams, which I understand have now been taken out of some schools. You can review for a multiple of classes and I think it would really help students to prepare for their tests. To visit the ACCESS website,

ALEX

I thought that ALEX was a great website to use. It would definitely help out new teachers. It gives you ideas on what to teach so you won't get lost. You can click on any subject and grade and it will help you out. It breaks down everything for you. It shows you what you can do with your children each week. It has every subject from english and math, to languages and driver and traffic safety education. I think this would definitely help out a lot of people and encourage others to use it.

I think these skills are needed, but I don't think I have all of those mentioned. I can get on the Internet and navigate my way around, but that's about it. I definitely need to work on it. To check out the video on New Media Literacies click here.

In some ways, I could see how it may be easier to be a teacher of a networked student. Basically, you could just tell them what to find and learn about, and they could. You would be there for support when they get stuck or need guidance. On the other hand, if you're not that experienced with the Internet, etc., it may be harder for you to help them out along the way. I know that I still need help when it comes to these kinds of things. To watch Wendy Drexler's video click here.

This Is How We Dream

This video was about how we used to get our information. We used to go to the library and gather books, now we just turn on the computer. I know that technology is rapidly increasing and getting better by the day, but right now, I don't think I could do this. I would hope to know how one day and teach others about it.
