You can use our class blog site to post any questions you may have about class projects and activities. I have found that often students have the same question, so this will be one way that I can be sure you are all getting the same information from me.
One of your first activities is to post a response that shares more information about yourself. Please identify your name along with a few sentences about yourself. Please send the jpg file to me via email (kklopez@latech.edu), and I will upload your graphic to our blogspot. This will let others in our class learn more about you.

Hello! My name is Ellen Phillips and I just moved to Ruston from College Station Texas. I am not currently teaching anywhere here just trying to get settled in, get my degree and work toward Doctorate. I have taught the past 12 years at A&M Consolidated High School where I was a 9th grade World History and 12th grade Government teacher. The move has been good, and I am looking forward to meeting some people!

Hey everyone! My name is Amy Palmer. I am a Kindergarten Teacher at Creswell Elementary in Shreveport. This is my 5th year teaching. This is also my first year at Creswell.

This is going to be a crazy year for me with starting at a new school, finishing my degree, and starting LaTAAP. Wish me luck!!!
Does anyone know how we are supposed to do the following activity in BlackBoard? I cannot figure out how to start a thread and do not see an original post to reply to.
Thanks,
Irene Meade
>>>After you have finished reviewing at least three different web sites. Then post a response to BlackBoard that summarizes your findings. You should post a response that shares what you thought was effective in the web pages as well as what was ineffective. You should also post at least one additional response that is in reply to what someone else in the class has posted to the discussion board.
Hello! I am Beth Ferguson, and I am from West Monroe. I am currently on sabbatical but would normally be teaching at Drew Elementary in West Monroe. I teach fifth grade math, science, and social studies. I received my Master's degree from Tech 4 years ago in Curriculum & Instruction. However, I lacked this course in getting an Educational Technology Facilitator Certification. To fulfill my sabbatical requirements, I am also working on a library certfication. My husband and I have a 4 year old, Noah, and a 3 month old, Anna Beth. I too am looking forward to working with you this quarter!
Irene, you're not alone. I can't figure out how to post on blackboard either. I also had trouble copying the Cyberguides to evaluate the websites. Has anyone figured it out?
The discussion board forums did not initially import into our BlackBoard site when the course was changed from F2F to online. I have taken care of it, so you should be able to access the forums now.
Let me know if you have any other problems. Thanks!

Hello, everybody. I'm Beverly Bennett. I am the librarian at T. L. Rodes Elementary School in Haughton, LA. We have about 650 students in kindergarten and first grade and about 40 in preschool! I am pursuing a MSCI, with a Technology cognate. This is my second quarter in the program. I've been married for 30 years and have two adult children. I'm very blessed!
I am not sure that I did part 3 of the assignment correctly. I visited three of the sites linked to Susan Silverman's webfolio. I couldn't get anything to open for the Miss Rumphius Award site. Two of the sites I visited were similar - projects for teachers to use with their classes and display students' work. They were both navigated the same way and pretty much had the same stuff - just different subjects. The third one I visited was Susan Silverman's own website including biographical info, etc. If this was not what I was supposed to do, Dr. Kimbell-Lopez, please let me know so that I can re-do it.
My name is Victoria Taylor. I have been teaching 2nd grade for the last 7 years at Riverbend Elementary in West Monroe. I am on Sabbatical and getting my Masters in Teaching Braille. I am excited about this class.
Beverly,
I had the same trouble with the link. I ended up doing a search and finding my own teacher sites. I hope that was okay. I guess we both are in the same boat. If you have to redo the assignment, then so do I. I am pretty sure that it is okay though.
-Irene
For the second assignment, I copied the search guide, pasted it onto a Word document, and typed my answers there. Is there a different way, straight from the web page, that we are to do it?
Do we need a book for this course? I bought one and if I don't need it then I can take it back. Thanks!!
I emailed Dr. Kimbell-Lopez, and she said we will not need a book. She is using the required readings from the internet in place of the book.
Greetings! I am Phyllisia Mason-Hollins. I am a P.E. teacher at Caddo Heights Elementary, in Caddo Parish. I teach all grades Pre-K thru 5th grade and I love it! I am earning a Masters in Curriculum Instrution with a cognate of Technology. I am really nervous about this quarter because I prefer the face 2 face atmosphere.
bmferguson,
That's the way I did part 2, also. I saved them, but did not submit them to Dr. K-L. Are we supposed to?
Irene,
Thanks for the encouragement. I did look at a couple of other teacher web pages, but did not complete a critique of them. Good luck!
Beverly, we are to email it as an attachment to her. I am about to do that now.
Mrs. Hollins, I know what you mean about not meeting face to face. I want to know that I am doing everything we are supposed to. I don't want to miss anything that we are to be doing. On the other hand, it certainly is nice having that time and not having to put the money out on gas.
