A bit about the blog...

As many of you may recall, I’m a full-time student at Duquesne University & hope to graduate in the summer session this year. I’m writing my dissertation on Internet use among faculty in teacher preparation programs. I’m at nearly 200 pages right now & still have a chapter left to write! I have senioritis pretty bad!! With all the time I’ve spent on my primary job of teaching at SRU & whatever time is leftover working on my dissertation, I feel like I haven’t been keeping up on information about new technologies. So, this is a place I set up for you, my students and colleagues, to share with me & with each other cool stuff you know.

I’m hoping that we will learn a great deal from each other. Please feel free to share things like:

Tips about how to do things faster or easier on the computer

Free resources

Lessons that incorporated technology & your observations about them (surely there are more stories than the ones I’ve shared in class about good/bad episodes in the realm of tech use for instruction!)

How to…

You can also use the blog to communicate information about upcoming events that you think might be of interest to SRU pre-service teachers!

This is also a place for you to ask questions & support each other as we go into the last segment of the semester in which there is much independent work to do. You may post original items or comments to one another.

Again, I’m looking forward to the collective knowledge base that will form & the opportunity to interact with each other.

Thanks for participating in the Summer Tech Class blog!
