"I can not be very unbiased about this since I am a part of this group you are doing this with, but this is like how i am doing my lesson plan and a great outline of what is to be expected. Basing it off of the outline given for the project, it seems…"

Lauren replied to Terry Fonseca's discussion Need Feedback - Lesson Plan for 8th Grade Women's Rights Movement of 1800'sLauren replied to Diana Hansen's discussion M.B.A. students taking classes on Facebook"I could see students using Facebook as a part of the course, but I do not think that it should be their sole communication or way of learning. There are so many different types of technology available today that there is no harm in using a social…"
Lauren replied to Rachel Gendron's discussion Digital story"you should do funny voices on your narration Terry - that will liven up the presentation! :) Seriously though, the background music will probably determine the students' interest; that and the use of images the include things they recognize or…"
Lauren replied to Andrew Pass's discussion Textbooks?"Although if you are covering history it is almost all bias if you think about it. Discussing events that happened in the past, you are only hearing one side of the story in textbooks. Whether we try to or not, all our stories turn out to be is our…"
Lauren replied to Hana's discussion Longer school year/ Longer hours in the day?"I would not mind seeing year-round school implemented around the country. Although summer is nice, it would be nice to have more short breaks during the year instead of one long one in the middle of the year. Being away from school so long leaves…"
Lauren replied to Amy Broomfield's discussion Are test really fair?"I sympathize with this topic because I feel that I get text anxiety at times - especially when the bulk of my grade is reliant on solely test grades. I have always felt stressed by standardized tests in grade school. I always felt that I could do…"
Lauren replied to Diana Hansen's discussion Enrollment in online courses increases at the highest rate ever"My university does offer online courses as well. Although I do not know all the numbers, I do know that when registration comes up and there is an option to take an online class, the online class quickly fills up first. I am currently taking my last…"
Lauren replied to Daniel Boyle's discussion Blogs v. Wikis v. Web Page"Giving the student the option of choosing which they are more comfortable with should be the best plan. If it is a group project then a wiki would probably be the first choice, but if it is an individual project then a blog would be ideal."
Lauren replied to Kaila Soltez's discussion Homework: yes or no?"I do not believe that homework should be abolished completely, but I am not opposed to cutting down the homework assigned at all. I think the problem for students with homework is the massive amount that is required for them each day or week. If…"
Lauren replied to carl smith's discussion Teaching for Tests"As a not-so-great test taker, I dread being evaluated solely on my performance on a test. I do realize that it is necessary to determine where you are in your education, but I do not like to be taught just to pass a test. If you can teach something…"
Lauren replied to blank's discussion Prezi...a new way of presenting!"I think the "thrill of something new" is a big factor - especially with children. The convenience of always having access to the presentations is a great relief as well. It is another version of a power point, but nothing like it at the…"
Lauren replied to Carolyn Mahan's discussion When should 'new technology' be brought into the classroom?"The budget has to be the first consideration when choosing technology in the classroom. While it may be fun to have things like an iPad, you need to have a reason for having it, as well as a plan to obtain the correct number to be efficient or…"
Lauren replied to Lynn Merrell's discussion Is technology essential to teach today's students?"The idea of writing English assignments seems dreadful to me right now, but looking back at when I had to hand write everything, I appreciate it more. Although I always pick typing something as a preference, if I did not have the background I did I…"
Lauren replied to Patrick Lynch's discussion Moodle anyone"This is exactly what I feel about Moodle. A detailed syllabus makes you remember what is due on what day, what we should expect for the day's class, and of course the fact that there was never a question of what is expected of us."
Lauren replied to Mike Beverly's discussion Dropping 200 lbs in 1 year - Will tablets replace standard textbooks?"I like the catchy headline for this post! It's an attention grabber for sure. There definitely should be a wave of textbook updates sometime in the future. If schools look at the fiscal differences alone, most will jump at the chance to save…"
Lauren replied to Chester R. Cruzado's discussion WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS SCHOOL POLICY? Teachers will be suspended if they will use social networking sites in education."Wow! This concept amazes me! I can not believe that something like technology (which is immersed in our culture whether you try to avoid it or not). Teaching children with technology will only be beneficial in helping them in today's society.…"
