On tonight we had 3 presenters, which was Cristal Holmes, and she presented on how to burn a CD, Sherry Samuel and Diane Reese who presented on how to do a powerpoint, and Darron Daniel who presented on how to go about creating an xtranormal. All out all this presentations I must say that this was the most EXCITING one I have seen yet. This was very interesting, and it denefitely was an "eye catcher".
We did a Group Activity. We had to create a Concept Map and address the factors affecting technology in classrooms today, and we had to submit it to Dr.Kong.

CLINICAL
On this Evening we went to our PACE CENTER (JONES) to their Computer Lab, in an effort to complete
our Survey of this center's technology resources. Because of evryones work schedule we were unable to arrive at the facility before 6:00pm on last night (September 14, 2010). However we have made arrangement to meet early on our next clinical, scheduled for September 28th, in an effort to complete an assessment on a four-year old child.
Please Note: The child we choose to assess because of confidentiality reasons, we will not be able to give the name of the child. we will use an alien name, and give the results of the assessment. The Assessment that we will conduct is called CPAA, which is basically a short name for " Children's Progress Academic Assessment".
The purpose of this assessment is to screen the children who attend JONES (PACE HEAD START), who are ages 4 to 5. This assessment can go up to Third Graders, but because PACE HEAD START only service Pre-K, this is the only reason we addressed children ages 4 to 5.
The computer lab is not as large as some of the labs in the regular City or County School Districts,
however, the children at this Center is able to able to use technology to develop skills that they may have not been able to otherwise receive, because even in this 21st Century there are so many families who do not own a computer.

On tonight in class we had two classmates to present their Technology Showcase. The presenters were Ms. Weaver and Mr. Woodard. Both of their showcases were very intense and they included a lot of important information. Ms. Weaver explained to the class how to create a blog, also referred to as an Electronic Portfolio. Ms. Weaver explained before setting up your blog, you need to first set up a GMail account. Ms. Weaver informed the class unless you wanted to pay, you should look for free links. And she recommended http://www.blogger.com/. She explained that there are four different elements involved in creating a blog or electronic portfolio.
Mr. Woodard discussed video/audio clip editing. he explained to the class how to bring the real world into your classroom. Mr. Woodard explained that photos could be added as an advantage. he went on to inform us that one of the major disadvantages is really not knowing how to use this particular forms of technology. Mr. Woodard stated that there are two types of videos and he explained taht they are as follows:
Dr. Kang reviewed and touched basis on information concerning some of the theories we talked about on last week. Dr. Kang had the sites to create and draw a concept map. The concept map had to show the relationship among concepts. This map showed graphical tools.
The three theories were as follow:
Next week we will not have class, but our group which consists of five individuals will work our cliniacal activity. we will resume with class on Tuesday, September 21st.

This is the second week of class and Dr. Kang lectured on the different learning theories. I learned even when it comes to Technology that learning theories consist of Behaviorism(Reinforcement-Reward), Congnitivism(Information process), Constructivism and Connectivism.
I learned that the key elements for the 21st century, learning consists of the following things just to name a few:
Dr.Kang begin to teach the class how to create a website. However he only had two minutes, and he ran out of time.
Next week I would like for Dr. Kang to take his time and teach us how to create a website in an appropriate manner, so we will know exactly what to do.
Dr. Kang discussed the clinical activities he wanted us to complete as a group. He also touched basis on the Grant Proposal we would work on as I understood to also be a group project.

- Technology is used to develop skills
- People teach and learn with technology
- Technology is used for different assessments

The first week we introduced ourselves. We went through what our Instructor(Dr.Kang) called self Introduction Part I and Part II. We didn't really learn a lot on tonight because we were experiencing some problems and it was very hard to hear because of all the talking. I really couldn't understand much of what Dr. Kang was saying.
We were placed in groups and we were asked to create a "wish list". My group was under the impression that the list we created were things that Dr. Kang would teach us to do.
Next week I would like for Dr. Kang to teach us how to do some of the things people may have had on their wish list, because so many of us are not computer literate.
