I. After reading Adopt and Adapt , Synching Up with the iKid: Connecting to the Twenty-First-Century Student, and the Framework for 21st Century Learning, post a reflection based on what you read and your own philosophy of what teaching in the 21st century in Puerto Rico entails. Your reflection should appear under this post. I suggest that you write your reflection in a Word document first and then copy and paste unto our post. Remember that you won’t be able to see your post until I approve it-so don’t worry if you don’t see it. This post should be in before class on September 6.

Hi teacher consultants,

Once again we meet. This time for a course about the use of technology in the classroom. EDU 612 explores new trends in the use of the computer within the classroom environment. As part of our work, we will study the elements which should be considered when using technology for classroom activities and put into practice what is learned.

As we have done in the past, I will place in this blog most of the materials we’ll need to achieve our goals. I’ll also be asking you to post frequent comments in our blog or in your own.

I’m so glad to have you back and am looking forward to working with you once again.
