Week 6 Reflection

I seem to be a day behind everything this week as I build my presentation for the Classroom Research class.  The process of locating art, creativity (creation & design), along with self-actualization within the Fairbanks School District has been a very useful practice.  It allowed me to go over the smaller details within the plan for technology integration that would benefit the emotional and creative growth of the student.  I found there was two part to the plan.  There was the actual plan and then there was scope and sequence.  Scope and sequence seemed to lay the specific standards that would be applied to the classroom.  There were multiple occasions where digital citizenship was brought up and I didn't really touch on this enough.  Once I read Thomas' blog I realized that the digital citizenship classes I've been teaching should also add vocabulary such as inspire, acheive, support, compassion, etc. I also enjoyed the discussion.  I also thuroughly enjoyed Andrea's & Colin discussion of the pros and cons of instant messaging.  It touches on how important it is to include cyber ethics in a tech plan.
