Reflection

What are your reactions to your findings?
I have learned that I am not as technologically swavy as I have always thought. I am learning new things all of the time.

What will you do differently while searching for information on the Internet now? I will validate the website that I use using the techniques I have learned in this class.

How confident are you with the information you have used in the past? I feel now that much of the information I have used in the past may not have been very reliable.

What are some implications for the future of our students if we fail to teach them these skills in school? I believe that many students will be confused by the information they find on the internet and will have a difficult time determining whether information is accurate or not.

Do you see any advantages for organizing your information via Delicious and/or Google Reader? I like Delicious. I now have a place for the websites that I find that have good lessons or teaching ideas. I would always forget to save them or write them down and now I have a place for my work.

What are some ways you think you could use these tools in the future? For the computers in my classroom I could use delicious to bookmark the websites that the students are able to use. This could help to keep the students from finding incorrect information on the web and inappropriate pages.

What purpose did you have in mind when developing your Wiki and have you started to implement your ideas? My idea is to create a Wiki for middle school math teachers to find tools they need for their classroom. I have bookmarked some pages that I would like to link to my Wiki but that is all I have done so far.
