We are learning how to use Power Point activities and teach students how to use Power Point.
As a teacher, student, colleague I can use Power Point to make great hand-outs and presentations. We are doing this so we can learn how to teach future students how to use Power Point to make good presentations and hand-outs. This can apply to me in my material I prepare for my classes of instruction. This technology means that my students can have more resources while learning material. To my colleagues I can also teach them how to covert Microsoft Power Point into Microsoft Picture It.
This new information does not change my current schema as I was already aware of all PowerPoint abilities. This information will not change the type of teacher I will be in the future because I believe technology should be a very important instruction method. The students can perform an assignment of making a Power Point collage of a country of their choosing. They will use this hand-out to present the country and several aspects of the country. They can collaborate with one another over the internet in groups of two. This will help me become a better future teacher as it will allow me to put more responsibility on my students and teach them how to be better independent. This information will help me to become a better future colleague as it will allow me to teach them how to use Power Point as Picture It. This will allow us to engage in workshops to teach one another new things.

Digital Camera
We are learning how to use the Picasa program to make a PowerPoint presentation of UVU.
As a teacher, student, colleague I can use Picasa to give great presentations. We are doing this so that we can learn how to use this program which allows us to modify pictures and make them have different effects. I can use this in my other classes and work in order to give presentations. This technology means that I will be able to present materiel more effectively and powerfully.
To my future students, this means that I will be able to show them how to make culture presentations with great effects. This information does not change my current schema since I have use programs like this in the past. It only servers as a reminder of the diversity they can supply to an assignment. This information will make me a teacher that is technology based and thus provide more diversity for my students to do assignment. The students will have to make a culture presentation. In groups of two the students will choose a country and find many pictures to make a power point presentation. As a future colleague I will be able to show other teachers the program so they can teach it to their students; and also give presentations to our department. Changing the effects of pictures is a great way to get viewers attention and express emotion.

Internet Safety
I am learning about the importance of internet saftey. After personally reading and learning about many factors of internet saftey, as a class we discused the dangers and precuations of the internet.
As a teacher, student, colleague I must know that the internet can be a very danguores place and that I must be very cautious. We are doing this to educate us on the real life dangers of the internet. This applies to me becasue I could come accross material in the internet that could harm me legally, emotionally or moraly. With technology there come great responsiblity that I must take in count.
This technology means more responsiblity for my future students. They will be educated on what is allowed and not allowed and will be held accontable for not keeping the rules. This new information changes my current schema as it helps me realize of the dangers of the internet such as bullying. As a Spanish teacher, before going to the computer lab I can assign my students to go over the saftey precautions and rules with a classmate. This will help me be a better teacher and colleague as I will be held accountable for doing my part of not allowing miss-use of the internet. As a department we should not be ignorant nor let our students be ignorant and obligate them to go over a internet saftey assignment before have access to the computer lab. Greater Technology = Greater Responsiblity.

Digital Stories
I am learning how to make moving digital stories, I am doing this by creating a culture digital story lesson.
As a teacher, student, colleague I will be able to belay more powerful messages as I connect to one's emotional side and get them to really think about the point I am trying to display. We are doing this so we can be able to better our presentations. In the classroom and my other classes I can use this tool in order to present more diverse lessons as digital stories tend to get one's attention. This is a great technology resource that will allow me to be a more powerful presenter/teacher.
To my future stutdents, this technology means more engagin lessons that makes learning more effective. This new information gives me the new schema of using emotions to affect learning, which will result in better diverse instruction. As an assignment, students will have to create their own 3 minute culutre digital story in a group of three. I will become a better future colleague as I will be able to teach my fellow teachers how to use this type of lesson to instruct. In our department we can make a requisite that in our program all students hafve to make a culture digital story. Digital stories are a simple tool that can have very strong impacts. Thus, for how simple it is to make a digital story, everyone should become aware of the great cons they provide.
