Standard 1 Facitiate and Inspire Students Learning and Creativity Module 2....This module focuses on tools that encourage communication and collaboration on line Frustration and Understanding... The whole filtering issue is a problem in it -self. We do have laws and regulations to protect our children and privacy, but the filtering and blocking system seems to be in over-drive to a point. In order to get on the internet at our school students and their parents must sign an acceptable use of the internet. If they intentionally get on inappropriate site they lose their use of the internet. We have a new filtering system at the school, but seem to block out everything. SO,SO FRUSTATING. Of course some sites should be blocked, but teachers and students need to be better educated on internet safety. At some point you need to trust that people will do the right thing. Social bookmarking forum... This was a great experience and what a great way to keep track and share important web-sites. It is not only helpful to teachers of the same field of study, but to others teachers in different field of study. . A teacher conducting a sewing class and using measuring to size up a pattern would also be the same for math teacher working with formulas and other math problems. Social bookmarking will be great at any grade level and will help all teacher to collaborate with each other and the students. The 21st century technology will open so many exciting tools for the class of tomorrow.

They can fit nicely with any classroom's content area and grade level. They are fantastic vehicles for doing research, being creative,sharing and publishing information. Each timeline has a discussion section,so a class can debate certain topic and share more details and suggestions. This is the tool I will be using for the Family Consumer Science classes. We can exchange many different ways of teaching every FCS Standard that is in our curriculum I feel as a teacher I can help to get Family Consumer Science involved in the 21st century and all the technology that comes along .The students at any age level will be so excited with all the new ideas that technology can offer. Reflection on meeting this standard (So What?)

The following web-sites I hope to use in Family Consumer Classses grades 8 to 12.They are very good web-sites and easy for students to appreciate for then content is so on tack and ready to use.

Module 7 Discussion of Idea and Tool Exploration I am always amazed by how many on-line tools there are. I have enjoyed exploring some of them. I was not impress with Ning or Twitterand think I will stay clear of then two for the time being.One of the sites I checked out this module was Voki. This site is very cool and you can create a representation of yourselp. I also looked at Slideshow which is a site for sharing powerpoint. The best tool I found was the go2web20 site. This site lists and organizes all of the millions of tools available on line and give a short description of what you can do there. Standard 1 Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity AUSTIN AREA SCHOIOL LIBRARY

Standard 1 Facilitate and Inspire Students Learning and Creativity

The library at Austin Area School is all about my friend “Pat”.Pat is the reason I can do what I do today on the computer for she was always willing to help out and put me in the direction l needed to be. Our library has a variety of different tools and I sure more will be added all the time The students at Austin Area School were all educated with Miss Pat and all that she had to offer. We now have a new teacher in the library and Mrs. Stuckey will not have a problem to carry on and keep our library going forward to the 21st century. POWER library and ACCESS Pennsylvania were the two biggest programs for our library to join with in quite sometime. To show how Access Pennsylvania book-borrowing from other school districts is such a help to last minute students working on a research project. I was in the library on a day when Miss Pat was teaching the 8th graders about verifying internet sources and making sure that the information that they were obtaining was correct and accurate. The video conferencing tool that the library got through the literacy grant that would not only link us …...LIVE.........to other school districts, but to any other place that uses the same sort of technology ...What a form of collaboration to enter the 21st century and I know that students at the Austin Are School will be ready.
