Final Reflection
- What do you feel is the most useful technology (or teaching approach) you have learned this semester?
I also am really excited to use google sites in the classroom. I had no clue about that stuff, but now I can totally use it like it's nothing. It is a tool in my hand I intend to use.
- How do you plan to use this or other technologies in your future teaching?
- How can you use technologies (the ones we learned or others) to engage your students in ACTIVE learning?
When it comes to wikis, I was really excited by the possibilities I saw in it. Depending on the class being taught, and the students in it, I believe that wikis could make classes more interactive, valuable, and engaging for students. Personally, I am taking a teaching grammar class right now, and a particularly valuable resource is the class wiki. It is a lexicon of grammatical examples. I intend to use it in planning lesson plans like monks used feathers in writing Bibles. Wikis can be so valuable. Doing something like that, with the wiki examples, or creating a class study guide wiki for whatever class it is, could really enhance students' learning!

Wordclay
Here is a link to an anthology I assembled of poems and short stories that I have written. I published this book using wordclay.com, a self-publishing website.
It is, as Derrida would say, textually fabulous!
