02/12/10 Weekly Respone Text

By being unsuccessful at posting my video updates I am writing my weekly response: Well for this week I was very frustrated at first with the actual assignment of posting the web cam response which took a lot of time out of my busy schedule but I did learn a lot about actually setting up a blog account and how cool it is to incorporate into the classroom for my students to use in the future, its is especially a great tool for students in the area of Special Education who like to use the media as apposed to traditional assignments. I found communicating with my classmates can open your mind in terms of specific viewpoints. This is very different for me especially when in a traditional online course you never really communicate at all. with your fellow peers. I am very pleased with the course so far but feel that the technological difficulties held me back a bit that is why I am instead of being viewed on a video clip. I hope to gain more knowledge in the field of secondary content area reading skills especially in the realm of using the media outlets.
