Comments?

Please, anyone know which domain to type comments from on others blogs? I keep trying to post comments to complete our assignment but it has me choose a domain like AIM or LiveJournal etc (and none from blogger) and it won't let me post comments! I have tried using the google gmail domain but it says something about cookies is null (whatever that means) :(((

Thank you!!!!

Technology In Class Reflection

We have used several different pieces of technology in our classroom this semester. Perhaps my favorite has been Powerpoint. I know Powerpoint can get stale after a while and from too much use, but I really enjoy creating interactive and interesting Powerpoints. I like the creative control. Powerpoints can be used to make any class lecture more interesting, also it can be used as an integrative tool that gets students more involved in class discussion.

However, Powerpoint also has its pitfalls as well as any other piece of technology. Powerpoints can easily become stale and uninteresting if used to often. Also, if Powerpoints are not made interactive, students can lose focus during class and drift into inattentivity.

I think if Powerpoints are used seldomly and in interactive and creative ways, it can become a very useful tool for the classroom.

Hallo!!!

Hi! My name is Brett and this is my first Blog! So please bear with me... hahaha (^_~) I am a senior at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania studying B.A German. I am creating this blog for my SEDU 183 Technology class. My goal is to graduate here in May of 2011 go straight into Graduate school for Communication Studies.

By creating this blog, I hope to enlighten others, be a source of inspiration, or provide humor to those who need it. Sometimes my life is really just plain chaotic and I think you will get a few laughs here as well. I'll type more here later :)
