My Target of Focus

Connecticut Social Studies Standard 3 (Historical Themes, Grades k-4) is my target of focus for the semester. I hope to not only learn more about visual learning, digital imagery, and the impact of technology in class, but also have high hopes in incorporating what I learn in grad school so that I can transfer project ideas into my teaching. Some of the ideas that I would like to try in class include: (1) using a class blog to promote writing, (2) using tools like Wordle and Inspiration to increase visual learning, and (3) creating a website for my classes to use in order to find HW assignments and project help when they are at home and need help.
