Some Useful Educational Technologies for Teachers
Go to the Useful Tech for Teachers page. Pick one technology that has the most potential to you as a teacher. Play with it and create one sample product. Share your product on your individual page (Tech Share page) either through a hyperlink or an embedded object. Each of the techs should take a short time for you to begin working with a sample. Watching some of their video intros will help. But don't feel guilty if you cannot finish this part within the 3 hours of class time. The previous two parts are the must-dos for the week 7 class.
