I think teachers should do more in a classroom than just lecture.  This does not necessarily have to mean elaborate lesson plans, either.  Teachers should find ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/04/14/check-these-out/ I was reading some of the blogs that came through the blog feed for our class and came across a link to a website called embedit.in.  At first I was unsure why things had to be embedded, when I knew how to link things.  But, I read a little bit ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/04/07/embeditin/ Once again, I am behind on my schoolwork - in all my classes, not just in ED 483.  It seems like I am always working on something, but never get it all finished to my liking.  Part of it is the technical difficulties I've been having.  Anyway, I'm catching up ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/04/07/some-fun-things-i-found/ Well, I finally came to a decision on a direction I want to go for my final project.  I also finally had time to sit down by myself and made the video capture - I have to admit I would feel foolish if I was around others when making it.  ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/03/25/my-jing-video-its-about-time/ I've been catching up on blog reading recently, and am really enjoying the blogs written by my classmates.  Not only do I learn a little about each person every time I read one of their blogs, I am also finding new technology and new uses for the technology I am ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/03/23/technology-and-my-classmates/ I have been trying to learn more about Twitter and its practical uses.  So, the Evan Williams video was interesting.  I showed Twitter to a friend of mine and he is trying to use it more.  So, I sent him a link to the video also.  I have a few ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/03/23/ted-videos/ We have learned about many different types of technology available.  Many of them will be extremely useful in the classroom.  Others will even be useful in everyday life, whether you are a teacher or not.  some others are just cool and fun to play around with, but don't necessarily have ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/03/22/my-favorite-technology/ Well, I'm giving this another try because I am a stubborn person.  Hopefully I will discover something different that makes this 12th try better and more successful than the other 11. Sweet!  I don't know how I did it or what I did differently but it worked!  This is just my ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/03/10/jing/ I'm sure the suspense is driving everyone wild.  You guys just cannot wait to see my first Jing capture posted online.  I just know it!  However, I have some bad news to report.  Although I have had several successful attempts at capturing a picture of my screen with Jing, I ... http://csironen.edublogs.org/2009/03/10/suspense/
