I chose Itunes because I was familiar with this podcast. It is very easy to use, and you can get music and videos from it.

Podcasting

A podcast is a way to gather music or videos from an Internet source for your computer. The way podcasting works consist of software programs being downloaded so you can get the music or videos from an RSS feed. Teachers can have students get information from podcasting and watch it to save them both time. One example of podcasting is Itunes. This enables you to download music onto an mp3 player. Podcasting is revolutionizing music and videos. It allows you to access files and have them in hand-held devices. This will help the school systems by once again having more access to new technologies.

AVL

I would lik to talk about the AVL (Alabama Virtual Library), and the ways it can be useful for teachers and students. The library is an online source for information so you wont have to leave your house at anytime unless you dont have internet. It works by typing in key-words on the subject you are looking for. This will cut way down on time for teachers and students so they work can be completed at a more effecient rate.

The way it works is teachers give an assighnment to students and they look up the answers. It's as simple as that! There are various grade levels to choose from all the way up to the college level so the information can be gatherd more quickly. This was just a breif intro to the new way of gathering resources.

About Mr. Sullivan

I really enjoyed the presentation. It was really important that we understand these type of programs for students with disabilities. I also like the fact that Mr. Sullivan was legally blind teaching these programs. I also have a friend with muscular Dystrophy who graduated from college that uses similar systems. I think the presentation was very relevant to what we are learning.

THINKING ASSIGHNMENT

I feel the article is very interesting but absurd. To compare search engines and Google to LSD, and other drugs is ridiculous. It is not an addiction to search for topics, it's a faster and more efficient way to find information without having to go look for hours in libraries. Somebody got bored when they wrote this article, and it shows with the information that was presented.

Alex

Alex is a web based system for everyone involved in the education process. Like ACCESS it is a new project underway, gaining more information to strengthen it. Teachers can get lesson plans, as well as having contact with other teachers. Students will be able to pull up web links to correspond with the material they are learning. It also has a course of study that enables you to search for credible information on your topic.

The Website is very easy to use, allowing students of all ages to interact with it. I find the lesson plans very useful, and in detail on basically any subject being taught. You can also maximize your search options by signing up for for an account which is free of charge.

ACCESS

ACCESS is the future of learning for high school students. This site is great for students, teachers, as well as parents. It offers advancement in education for high schools. It provides students with the best internet services to better their education. It also provides teachers with advanced technology to inhance learning for students.

The funding of ACCESS will be provided by the state to kick things off. There is also a great map in the site detailing where the ACCESS sites are located. This is the future of learning, so it is very imparitive that educators and students get familiar with it.
