Objective 1

 * 1) == Knowledge of available and emerging technologies that support the learning of all students. Documented by Web 2.0 Resources and Activity Wiki. Other options are Social Bookmarks and Software Evaluation. ==

=Web 2.0 Resources:= Some of the most helpful tools that can be utilized by a classroom teacher are Web 2.0 resources. These resources are tools that teachers and students can use to create, share, and publish work. These resources easily allow the user to showcase knowledge in a creative and individualized manner. Web 2.0 tools involve many different aspects of media including video, social media, and presentation software. Animoto video has become my favorite program within the Web 2.0 tool chest. The user friendly aspect of the software appeals to me as a teacher but more importantly, it is welcoming to students experimenting with the program. Students easily create professional video clips using the resources available to them on the site or using their own media. The finished products of an Animoto video are always impressive.

=Activity Wiki:= ==== Activity Wiki: //The activity wiki that I created corresponds with my classes reading of Margaret Haddix's Uprising which tells the story of three girls whose fates are linking to the factory fire. In the lesson, my students will view a variety of media that chronicle the tragic event. They will also write a eulogy to memorialize one of the characters that did not survive the fire. Students will also peruse the legal rights of workers to discover the legacy left from the fire. Within the wiki, students will answer and create "big questions" that may guide and aid student thought about the matters at hand. The following objectives are directly linked to the activity wiki.//====
