On tonight we met and we had two presentations. Ms. Cannon and
Mrs. Powell gave a presentation on how to make Business Cards.
In their history of the business cards I learned that "business cards"
goes all the way back to the 15th Century. And what we call
business cards started out as being called "visiting cards" and then
they were referred to as "calling cards". In order to make these
cards you must have the following things: computer, softwear
(MicroSoft Publisher), paper and a printer. And they showed
a very beautiful card with a photo on it.
Ms. McGee presented on Pasco Spark. I learned on tonight that
this is not just software or hardware, but that it is an intergrated
Science Environment. It has a touch sreen and a very big resolution,
which is 4x's the size most handheld data loggers.
Dr. Kang talked to us about 5 Stages of Technology Integration.
The five stages consist of Entry, Adoption, Adaptation,
Appopriation, and Invention. He touched basis on our Propsal
again, and he informed us that we will present on the next class.
He explained that we will have only 10 minutes to present and
five minutes to answer questions. Dr. Kang said that this is the
very last powerpoint that he will present.
Well-----Dr. KangI must say I have enjoyed this class. Now I must
be honest and say that the first I didn't think I was going to like my
peers teaching me about technology. I said I wanted you to do it,
but I really like the way you had the students to teach us, and at
the same time you did too. I must applaud up .

We were out of school for the Thanksgiving Holidays.
And I truly thank God for all his many BLESSINGS,
both GREAT and Small. For I do realize that HE is
the REASON for ALL of our SEASONS.

On tonight we had quite a few classmates to present, and I
was among thatbunch. I really had been kind of nervous,
and like everyone who has to present on the nights assigned,
I think no matter how you matter how the indiviual may be
prepared you still will have a tendency to get a few of those
nervous bugs in your stomach. And this is exactly what I had
on tonight for some reason. Well---we had the following
people to present on the following things Promethean
(Ms. Johnson/Ms. Mikell), IPad Mac (Ms. Riley/Ms. White),
I Photo (Ms. Nicholas), Flash Cards (Didn't get the names).
Well-------about 7:30 p.m., my parter, Ms. Willis received
a very upsetting emergency call concerning one of her family
members. So guss what------I think the few bugs I had in
my stomach increased (smile), because I had to do the pre-
sentation by myself. Well-------I made it through it, and my
classesmates informed me that they think I did a really good
job. As I always say, "PRAISE BELONGS TO GOD".
Dr. Kang did a presentation on Googleearth and on some-
thing called Gloster Making, which I really enjoyed, and this
would make your presentation live. Both of these pre-
sentation were very interesting, and it was something I had
never seen before. To be honest I enjoyed ALL of the
presentation on today, and YES--------I even enjoyed
myself (smile).

On tonight we met to work on our PROPOSAL. We looked up some other
samples on line to try and get a clearer picture of exactly what we are really
suppose to be doing. The movie says, "ARE WE THERE YET"? Well--------
the answer to that is "NO"---------Dr. Kang, but we are sure working on it.
And again thank you so much for allowing us to do this Clinical, and if you
want us to do another we sure will accept your offer. Thanks again.

On tonight we had three presentations and they were as follows: Please note I will just touch basis on the
jest of their presentation.
PRESENTATIONS
*Engrade Helps Teachers*
The presenters for tonight was Ms. Woodberry/Ms. McDowell were scheduled to give this presentation but it was only given by one presenter. In htis presentation we were informed that rather than carrying around a gradebook we could set up a web-based site on the computer online, which would allow teachers to provide information to not only be sent to students but it could also be sent out to parents. It allows students/parents to see upcoming homework, assignment scores, class grades, attendance, and private messages.
It was explained to us exactly how we would go about signing up for the Engrade Account. We were informed that this site is very private, secure, easy to use, and what is so good about this is that it is free. It was stated that "Teachers really love Engrade" .
*I-POD Touch*
This presentation was presented by Ms. Lisa Bond and Ms. Ramona Landry. During their presentation they informed us of all the things that the I-POD Touch offers, which were as follows (a music player, a video recorder and player,internet, a calendar, contacts, voice memo, game center, just to name a few). We were informed that that the applications are basically free. They said if there are any prices they start at 99 cents and does not go over about $9.99.
The presenters showed and talked about some of the assessories that you can get to go to your I-POD Touch. We were informed that if we wanted to purchase an I-POD Touch the prices range from about $200 to about $400+ .
*Introduction to Excel*
This presentation was presented by Ms. Erica Jones and Ms. Jackie Milsap, and they informed the class of their objectivies concerning their presentation. They defined what a Spread Sheet is, and they defined it as being a program that allows an individual to use data to forecast, manage, present and present different information. I learned that a Spread Sheet can be used by Shools to compile grades and payroll. It can be used in Sports to compile team statistics. I learned that for Personal Use, suchas with checkbooks or household expenses and with Business for payroll and investments.
*Back To The Lecture*
Dr. Kang discussed our Technology Proposal. He told us the purpose of the Proposal is to request support for our project and our organization. He addressed the tips we would use for success that we would use. And he addressed the Proposal Request. Dr, Kang basically addressed how we would do the Proposal, and he gave a website we could use. And he stated that on November 9th we would meet to write our Proposal Writing as a group. My group members and I would like to take this time to say, "THANK-YOU" Dr. Kang for your kindness.

On tonight once again our Hattiesburg (PACE) Site experienced some techinal difficulties, and it took us about 30 plus minutes before we were able to see some of the things the presenterswere discussing concerning their Emerging Tech Sowcase. On tonight the three presenters (the three groups) were as follows: Sandra Hilbert and Sharetha Bullock informed the class how we could make a moving using Microsoft live Movie Maker. They informed us how we would go about getting our videos and photos onto our computer, which was Step One. Then they informed us in Step Two how we could edit our project, and in Step Three which was their last step, they informed us how to go about publishing our movie on to the web.
The second presenters (Diana McClendon and Sharon Hall) informed the class how we could go about using FACEBOOK. First they gave us a history of Facebook, then they informed us of how we would go about logging in. They informed us that the actual cost of Facebook is free, but that in order to post an Ad on Facebook, it could cost from $25 to $30,000 plus dollars. They also informed us of what is really needed in order to post pictures and other information. They went in to deatail concerning what skills would be required to use Facebook when it comes to actually using Facebook in the classroom. They said that when it comes to the classroom Facebnook would be used so students would basically get to know other students. But they stated that this is not somethng they would recommend that students use in the classroom, because they felt it could be too tempting for the students to use it in other inappropriate areas. I learned that in order for someone to be on facebook they should be at least 13 years of age.
Emma Powell did not present on last week as scheduled, and she presented on tonight. Her presentation on tonight was discussing on how we would go about using oovoo for video chat, sending files, and recording with your webcam. She went through all the steps, and she contacted her niece (Nicole). She experienced a few problems, but she did go through the steps.
According to the agenda for tonight we were suppose to have another presentation on how "Engrade Help Teachers", by Leveta Woodberry and Adrienne Mcdowell, but I think they may have been the students from the Amite Site who were experiencing some problems getting to class because of a very bad accident Dr. Kang discussed on tonight about "Standards". However, I had put all this information on my blog on last week. Please note I was out ill on last week, so I just assumed from the information that I received via e-mail that was addressed on last week.
On tonight Dr. Kang asked us to address two questions, and they were as follows:
QUESTIONS
* "How might ISTE Standards influence our classroom"?
Personally I think because it gives access to technology as well as to other resources, it definitely assists in meeting the educational equity of students who make be diagnosed with what is referred to as "Special Needs", and by doing so this would be a form of quality instruction through technology.
* "How does the use of computer and internet influence a
teacher's pedagogical practices"?
Personally I think the use of a computer and internet has a significant influence, and it plays a
GREAT part in a teacher's pedagogical practices. Because for example as Ms. McClendon and Ms. Hall discussed during their presentation said that Facebook could be used a social network for ALL type of activities. So although they did recommend it because everybody is entitled to their own opinion, they NEVER said that it couldn't be used. So this (FACEBOOK) could be one form of pedagogical practice through the use of computer/internet that a teacher could utilize. Another form of pedagogical practice that a teacher could use through the use of computer/internet could be from what Ms. Emma Powell discussed in her prersentation on tonight concerning "OOOVOO". In her presentation she informed us how this form of technology could be used in the classroom for conferences with parents, to share information concerning the students' work with the parents, to use as an after-school tool to help assist a student in need of extra help,
and it could also be used as a way to let Guest Speakers give lectures.
