Gadgets

I learned how to add gadgets to my blog!  How fun!  Now I'm feeling a little more up to par....

I just glanced through the comments on my blog.  I hope we don't disappoint anyone.  Our presentation is over the method of using case study in educating on the importance of the hand-off tool.  Our wiki page has references for hand-off tools, but we did not create our own.  We are using a case study in which the hand-off tool failed.  By using this method our intent is to educate on the importance of using the hand-off tool correctly.

In Review...

I have been reading other blogs tonight and found mine to be sorely lacking.  There are some very creative people in our class!  I enjoyed the voki's that people put on their blogs.  I was able to get a link to open to a voki on our wiki page but did not try to get it on to my blog page.  I have never done a blog before.  I have found that  it's fun and easy!  The biggest thing that I have learned from this assignment is the use of technology.  I don't think of utilizing these various technological methods in teaching as it was not available when I was in school.  However, students today expect this and we need to know what it out there and on the horizon.

Our presentation is this week and I published our power point and references to the discussion board.  I feel pretty confident in presenting this method as I have been using it in my teaching practicum with the second degree students.  In my literature review I discovered that the method of case study in education spans across the educational fields and its origin actually stems from the Harvard school of business.
