EDLD+5364+Week+5

 This week I learned that is very important to reinforce the efforts of our students and it has been researched by McREL’s. I really like the Effort Rubric on page 157 of our text Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that works. I give participation grades, at that is really how much effort you put into the class. This would be great to help me give a more suitable grade and have something to back it up. I learned about Survey Monkey. I think this can be a useful site to help me get feed back on different lessons that I teach. Once again this week I learned how important technology is to our students today. We need to make sure we are using blogs, wikis, podcasts and other Web 2.0 tools to teach our students. These tools can allow our students to see these our lessons that we are teaching in new ways.
