Research Paper Proposal

Hello Leaf Fans!

I am thinking about doing my research proposal on proffesional development in educational technology. The reason i chose this is because students are being surrounded more and more by technology. Television, cell phones, billboards, computers ect are all a regular part of our students lives. In order to even come close to entertaining kids in my classroom as much as these technologies i'll need to use technology to my advantage. I will also focus on teachers who play the dumb card when it comes to technology and refuse to use these new advances.

Brodeur

Hello Leaf Fans,

Today I want to discuss Martin Brodeur's performance against the USA on Sunday. Brodeur got the second strait start on Sunday against the USA which resulted in a 6-4 loss. Durig the game Brodeur made some questionable decisions to play the puck when he probably shouldn't have. What do you guys think?

Review of Bloom's Taxonomy

Knowledge:
1. Students can collaborate on new ideas and learning
2. Proffesionals in the area can comment on the blogs
3. Easily updatable to ensure new knowledge is readily availible

Comprehension:
1. A new type of learning environment
2. No time contraints on posts (could be done at any time)
3. E-learning is the way of the future...why not get them started early?

Application:
1. Can be used to facilitate discussion within your class
2. Good reference abilities (posting link to references)
3. Can recieve comments from other proffesionals in the field about issues or ideas you have

Analysis:
Yes, because there is room for comments and editing. Static website simply include information that cannot be edited or commented on. Blogs facilitate discussion in order to come to a conclusion about a problem.

Synthesis:
The stronger the push towards E-learning the more blogs will be utilized. Blogs will become a major part of students lives both for socializing and educating themselves and others.

Evaluation:
1. Loss of social skills
2. No concrete guidline or manners of conduct on blogs
3. Less of a roll for teacher in the traditional sense

J.S Giguere

Hello Leafs fans!

So as most of you already know the leafs beat the Devils last night in Toronto 3-0. J.S Giguere newly accuired from the Ducks posted a shut out. Giguere was only the second goalie to post a shut out in his debut...the first being Eddy (the eagle) Belfour. Phaneuf got in a fight in the first period and Sjorstrom assisted on the first goal of the night. The new look leafs are doiong okay so far...will it continue??
