Gateway to Technology Wiki space.

Reflection on Gateway to Technology Wiki space: The purpose of this wiki space is to convey pertinent information to the students in my Gateway to Technology class. It is on this wiki that students find their daily assignments, post their discussion comments, obtain their weekly vocabulary, view due dates, and check lists of assignments. This site allows for them to participate in class activities even if they are not in school. I believe this satisfies NETS-T 3 because this site communicates relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using digital-age media and formats.

Gmail email accounts for students.

Reflection on Gmail email accounts for students: I got the idea to use Gmail after I was introduced to it through University of Akron. I have required that my students create Gmail accounts to use for GTT class. Students use these accounts to email their journal entries, correspond with me when they have questions or concerns, and email other assignments, such as power-point presentations, typed papers, Inventor files, etc. I have them email me at my school email address, so that we are still communicating within the parameters of school policy.
