Walk Like an Egyptian

I don't know who these kids are, but they sure look like they are having fun. Doesn't it look like they are walking like Egyptians?

Internet for Teachers

When I first saw that I was scheduled to take Internet for Teachers this fall, I laughed loudly. At first it sounded to me as though future educators are so technologically inept that they offer a course on how to use the internet to find information or lesson plans. To be honest, it sounded like a really unintelligent course.

I arrived at Bloomsburg in May and completed 12 credits over the summer. Toward the end of the summer when my classmates and I started to compare our schedules for the fall, I began to learn more about this Internet for Teachers course. Apparently, I would have to purchase a domain and publish a website. Gasp!

For years and years I have avoided learning about how to put things on the internet. Now I am taking Internet for Teachers, and I am excited to learn about how to design websites.

Children 12 and under are growing up with the internet. I remember learning to use search engines when I was a freshman in college, that was ten years ago. If I am going to stay ahead of or at least keep up with my students, I better know how to design a website that will benefit my students and enhance their education. I better be able to equip them to compete in today's changing world of technology.

In addition to designing a website, I also need to create a blog. I am getting a head start on that assignment.
