Welcome to Ed 422. . .

Welcome to another awesome semester of EDUC 422. . .Technology Tools for Education. I expect that you you learn a lot about how to integrate technology into the classroom, as well as learn how to ramp-up your digital life ;-)


I will use this blog to keep everyone updated on the weekly requirements for the course, as well as model for you how to create a blog for your future classroom!

Technical Issues: While this course has no required text, you will be required to subscribe to ISTE, the International Society for Technology in Education (see link on this blog), as well as purchase a subscription to TaskStream, an online portfolio generator.

For TaskStream
(also linked on this blog): You will need to self-enroll in two separate portfolios. Here are the codes you will need:
Local: 6SG3BA
TPA: JF5BNH


I will also ask you weekly questions on this blog that you will need to answer. Some are related to education and most are related you your lives. . .It allows me to build community while ensuring that you are reading the weekly posts!

This Week's Question:

  4. My favorite piece of technology is my fiancee's iPhone! It is the most addicting think there is out there. But my own piece of technology...that would be tied between my phone and my camera. I don't go anywhere without them. :-)
