Exit Questions for IT 365
1. Technology integration is using any form of technology in any subject area, such as, math, science, writing, or history. Integrating technology can be far more than simply using a computer, it can be a way of teaching and learning in the everyday life.
2. This semester I took Psychology and Education for Exceptional children. The class was taught by a means of technology. Each week there was a chapter quiz online. We also did projects on the computer using different programs and submitted them online.
3. A. Give an example of hardware-ram and software-Microsoft Word.
B. Give an example of a browser-www, firefox.
C. Give an example of a search engine-google, askjeeves.
D. Give an example of a spread sheet program-Microsoft Excel and database program- Microsoft Acess.
4. Copyright laws
5. Yes, because working with partners motivates you to learn and allows you to gain from your partners knowledge to have a better understanding of the lesson.
6. I believe the football game was a great idea because many of us are unaware of the technolgy around us. I think a good idea outside of class would be to recourd how often and the way we use technology in our everday lives.
7. Make the requirements for the twitter messages to be informational.
8. Blogger and the teacher websites. I look forward to using some of the different websites to benefit me in the classroom such as using cranberry on a subject.
9. I wish I would have learned more about how to use Microsoft spreadsheet and software on the computer that could be helpful for the future. For example, I enjoyed using the software on the computer to make the concept maps.
10.I believe that I learned about many aspects of technology that I did not know before. I also think the various web tools, such as, rubistar and trackstar will be an advantage to me as a future educator.

Adaptive Technologies
Scene 1
What activities do you think will be helpful in addressing the learning styles of your students?
-As a teacher, being aware of how individuals within your classroom best assimilate and
process knowledge allows you to plan instruction and activities that present information in a
variety of ways to address as many learning styles as possible. In the classroom you will find
students who learn in a variety of ways, with the three most common being visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. Understanding the different learning styles for each individual student will help make a more effective teacher.
Scene 2
How would this type of collaboration help your instruction and benefit your students?
-Any time of collaboration with another professional can be helpful in many ways. Juanita's advice gave Marilyn new ideas to not only benefit the students but also to help the way she prepares her insturction.
Scene 3
-How is Marilyn using graphic organizers to enhance the lessons? How will the use of graphic organizers help Oscar? One way Marilyn used graphic organizers is when she incorporated whisper reading and allowed the children to fill out their own blank graphic organizer map of the same orgaizer informaion. She also incorporated a sequencing activity for Two Bad Ands.
Scene 4
-Reflect upon your experiences using the Web to locate information. What difficulties have you encountered that might be addressed by using a WebQuest?
I use the web to locate information on a daily basis. Last week I used the web to show an educational viedo in the classroom I was subing for. I think the Web is a fast, easy way to locate information. A difficulty when using a WebQuest is that the school may not have access to a website to place the pages online. However, WebQuests are a great way to introduce students to a variety of points of view.
Scene 5
-List and describe three benefits the students gained from being included in Oscar's small group.
Allowing the students to work with Oscar benefited bothe Oscar and the students in many ways. The students worked together to achieve a academic goal. Working with Oscar allowed each student to be including in helping, tutoring, assisting, and general facilitation of each other's learning.
Do you think Oscar's experience would have been as powerful if he would have worked in isolation with Juanita? No because Oscar was not only able to work on social skills but also learned from his peers academically.
Scene 6
-Describe three ways in which Marilyn's use of technology addresses the needs of her class and allowed all students to participate in the lesson.
The class was abloe to learn about the author and biographical information at the same time. The students participated in the lesson by investigating Eric Carle from a new perspective while learning different writing elements.
The students participated in the lesson by finger painting colored papers with texture on newsprint. The students prepared an imovie.

Football game
Whether your at school or having fun, technology is used everywhere. Technology is being used all around us even at a football game. Besides the fans using technology on cellular phones the coaches and the players also use technology. The coaches and the referees use headsets that recall plays and players throughout the game. The scoreboard is also a big way technology is being used. Many people do not realize how often they look at the scoreboard at the football game. From everyday life to going to a football game, imagining life without technology is unthinkable.

Video questions
1. Do you feel that you are 'low hostile' or 'high hostile'? Low hostile.
2. What do you feel are 'aggressors' in your life? At school? A few aggressors in my life is time, organization, and decisions. Some days I get stressed because there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. At school an aggressor is organization. If assignments and papers are not organized is stress me out. A big aggressor in my life is making decisions. I always worry that I will make the wrong decisions.
3. Out of the three patients the doctors are researching, which one do you think is "high hostile" and "angry"? The monkeys
4. What do these findings suggest to you about your own lifestyle? That i do not tend to have high blood pressure or get stressed out because i do not have a dominate nature.
5. What are the negative medical effects the research team discovered happens from a 'high hostile' and 'angry' person? Being a 'high hostile' or 'angry' person effects a person's health in a negative way, such as raises blood pressure and heart rate. An 'angry person' has higher stress hormone levels and tend to have more clogged arteries which effects the cardiovascular muscles in a negative way.

Teachers Webpage
The google website is a great idea for teachers to use. The website allows you to create a webpage including the information you want to share with others. My webpage has five different pages. The first page is a resume about myself and background information about why Iwant to be a teacher. The next few pages are about different topics that in my opinion are helpful hints for others to know about, such as, tips about sunscreen. The last page has a list of web resources that i believe the general public and teachers may find very beneficial. Making your own webpage is a great idea for anyone to consider. I plan on keeping my website and showing my coworkers or students in the future when im a teacher.

Cranberry
I believe that cranberry is a very helpful tool that many people can use to learn. Cranberry can be used by teachers in the classroom to help students learn individually about useful information. Every students academic achievement is different and Cranberry allows the person to create a learning tool for each individual. I will definitely use Cranberry when I become a teacher and also to help me as a college student!

Children's Story
Once apon a time there was three little kitty cats that were sisters. There was a mean cat named Margret, a lazy cat named Lola, and a sweet cat named Summer. The mean cat always made fun of the other cats and never showed them any respect. The lazy cat always got the sweet cat to do all her chores. The sweet cat always kept to herself and never complained.
One day the cats had to buy a gift for the mom cat named Eloyse. The mean cat bullied the cats at school and took their money to buy a present for the mom cat. The lazy cat just gave the mom cat something she already had. The sweet cat did not know what to do because her sisters already had a gift for the mom cat. The sweet cat thought to herself I will make mom cat the best gift in the whole wide world! Margret the mean cat doubted the other cat and knew she had the best gift. Lola the lazy cat did not care whether her gift would be good or not. Margret the mean cat used the money she had stolen to buy a brand new collar for her mother. Summer the sweet cat was so sad that she was not able to buy her mom cat something beautiful like a brand new collar. The cats woke up one morning and it was Eloyse the mom cat’s birthday! Margret gave her mother the brand new collar to wear and the mom cat was thrilled. Lola the lazy cat gave the mom cat some booties that have been worn. Sweet Summer gave the mom cat a box that she had made. Margret was making fun of Summer because she had given the mom cat an empty box. Lola and Margret laughed at Summer. Finally when her sister cats had finished making fun of Summer she whispered to Eloyse the mom cat and said the box is full of kitty kisses just for you! The mom cat had never had a gift so thoughtful, and loved the sweet Summer kitty so much!

Going Green
Going Green
Go Green with the University of Southern MS landscaping. Watering lawns, gardens and landscapes in the U.S. adds up to 8 billion gallons of water every day. “For every 1% that you increase your soil’s organic matter, you increase the water absorption capacity by 16,000 gallons of plant-available water per acre, down to one foot deep” (EPA). If you must water, only water once a week and give it a good soak early in the morning or after the sun goes down. Check the forecast and let Mother Nature handle the chore for you! Soaker hoses offer a great alternative to sprinklers and can conserve up to 50% more water. Consider using an outdoor water timer to ensure that you are watering correctly and only when necessary for healthier plants and less wasted water. When using a sprinkler to water the lawn, make sure that the driveway and sidewalks are not getting watered also. Make sure to give soil time to soak up water, so if water puddles, stop and wait for it to be absorbed. Try to direct the run-off from gutters into the lawn so it will be absorbed rather than streaming into other water supplies. Lawns need only about one inch of water a week to stay green in the summer, so be conscience of this fact, especially if your area is in the midst of a drought.
Another way to go green in landscaping is with your fertilizer. Every 40-pound bag of synthetic lawn fertilizer is manufactured with the fossil fuel equivalent of 3 gallons of gasoline. Organic fertilizers, on the other hand, are often recycled biproducts such as corn meal, animal manure, fish emulsion or seaweed. The EPA estimates that only 35 percent of lawn fertilizers ever reach the grass plant; the remainder is volatized into the air or seeps into groundwater. Synthetic fertilizers overload your lawn with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. While such practices make your lawn look greener, they often lead to a weakened soil system which is more vulnerable to attack by insects and diseases which then make synthetic pesticides and fungicides necessary. Gradually, lawns become dependant on this cycle of chemical treatment, and chemical treatments often wipe out all soil organisms, good and bad. Organic fertilizers not only feed the grass, they nurture the soil, creating a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties. A natural soil environment is loaded with good soil organisms, all of which play a vital role in recycling nutrients.
The University can also go green with the Mower. Gas-powered lawn mowers collectively contribute up to 10 percent of the air pollution in the U.S. Electric mowers are far less polluting and the newer reel push mowers don't pollute at all. Lawn mowers and other gas-powered lawn care equipment contribute to 10% of the nation’s air pollution, according to the EPA. Electric mowers present a great alternative to gas mowers as they reduce pollution, make less noise, and are less expensive to fuel. Electric mowers also start automatically with the push of a button which makes it easier. "Small gasoline engines, the ones associated with lawn mowers, weed whackers and hedge trimmers, are some of the worst offenders in terms of air pollution..." says Paul Tukey

Second Life
I think Second Life is neat and that it reminds me of a viedo game. Second Life is user friendly and is not very hard to figure out. My Second Life name is Summer Paneer. I started playing it last night and walked around as Summer Paneer. I came along to another person named "Soap Spore" I was not sure if it was computerized people or other people like me so I asked. The people in the game are other people like me because I asked "Soap Spore" if he was a real person like from the United States and he replied " I am a real person, but im from Colombia." I continued to talk to "Soap Spore" and he told me about himself then some blonde came flying up and he left with her. So I continued to explore and came apon the two and they chated with me again then I left like I was going to find another person because "two can play that game". All and all it was fun playing on Second Life.

iphone
I beieve having students use the iphone at a university is a great idea. The iphone allows students to accomplish so many things in the palm of their hand. For example, providing students with campus directions is helpful in so many ways. Students learn their way around campus without being late for class. Teachers can notify students when class is canceled or update students on class assighnments. Students can be more aware of deadlines and when work is due. Students are allowed to interact with other students outside of the classroom. Students can participate in hybrid courses wich allows for convenient scheduling options for students. Overall I believe the iphones for colleges will be a success.

Technology in early elementary
I believe technology in preschool and kindergarten is a good thing for children. Opening up technology at an early age will help improve the children's' readiness skills. Technology will help support the students' learning skills when used in a planned and guided manner. Technology gives students a whole new way of learning other than the "chalk board". I believe the only disadvantage would be money. Some schools do not have extra funding to provide every grade of classroom with computers. Overall I feel that technology in the classroom is very beneficial to the students and teachers.

The following tools are essential for a teacher: Word processing, spreadsheets, databases, concept-mapping. Word processing is the writing, manipulating, and storing of textual material in a computerized medium, and it is a tool that has become a vital everyday function in classrooms, offices, and homes. Word processing will be advantage for teachers and students to use in the classroom. Teachers may assign students to create a report using word processing. Spreadsheets also benefit teachers to use. Spreadsheets can calculate mathematical formulas thus make it easier for students and teachers to understand mathematical equations and symbols. Databases are beneficiary for teachers to use in education. Databases can file student’s grades, schedules, and accounts that way the teachers have less paperwork. Teachers also use concept-mapping tools in the classroom to teach lessons to promote energize learning. Concept-mapping gives students a fun way to learn.
