Story boarding!!
I will use prezi slide show web 2.0 application to create my presentation.
The first slide starts of with the tittle and the opening paragraph and point of the entire story. Technology and what they are doing, which technology being used, and how long they are using it. The story is important because the education crisis in the world is a problems and everyone blaming teachers is the problem and not making students take responsibility is a major problem. Teachers are not here to entertain. Anticiapted music techno sounds
The second page is the Technology what technologies are we using it has a list from cellphones, ipads/tablets ipods/mp3 players, desktop computer game systems like xbox 360 and PS3. It has pictures of a few of them as well found using google sites. Anticipated music cell phone sounds.
The next slide titled how much time they are using on technology. This would be looking at technology in a negative light. It has a paragraph with Kaiser foundation study has found how much children are using on technology with a picture of a clock.
The next slide will have a few question that a students interviewed by me will answer. Questions include They will tell me specifically what they use, and for how long do they think they use the technology. I will specifically want to know how much time is spent on cell phones, video games, TV, music, movies, Ipads, internet and how much time do they multi task. Then I will ask them how much time a day do they spend on educational tasks. Then How much time do they spend on educational technology. I will ask do you think that more technology in the classroom. Which will keep you focused longer? Will it improve your chances of learning? What are your grades like now? Do you consider yourself a good student? How many times a day do you feel bored in school? What is usually happening? Is the teacher lecturing are you testing, quiet reading ?
What modes of technology do you have in your class room presently? Projectors, Tv,s VCR, DVD players, Smart board, computers, internet? What technology would you like to be added. Are there any classes presently that has you sing technology most of the session, Library time and/or Computer lab. What mode of technology helps you to learn better in your opinion? What keeps you more focused? Which one do you want because it seems to be the funnest? What modes of technology do you think you friends would want and benefit from? How much time are your friends spending on educational learning with out technology? How much time are they spending on technology for entertainment purposes?
The next slide has a you tube video that shows teachers discussing benefits of technology used in classrooms.
The six slide has a list of what skills that Technology in the class works in from the Jenkins article, it lists skills of play to negotiation. Anticipated sound will be sound kids playing.
The seventh slide is the my answer to help kids learn in class. It is the smart board technology slide that has 2 smart board videos that discussed the pro's and importance of using a smart board in the classroom, not just to entertain. and which skills the smart board include.
Anticipated slide of smart board stats and article link to support it why smart technology is important.
The next slide would be the importance of teachers guiding learning and giving appropriate instruction to go along with using technology to advance learners. Anticipated pic would be a teacher giving instruction using technology .
Next slide is to a wrap up of key points, anticipated music is motivational song, pics of technology smart board.
The last slide is by bibliography slide it list all my sources that I retrieved information from.

It is reported by Kaiser foundation that children age 8-18 spend 7 hours and 38 minutes a day on technology for entertainment purposes. That is 53 hours a week. It also reported that children are using multi -modes of media at the same time so that averages to 10 hours and 45 minutes. So if students are spending this much time on entertainment media will they spend that much time on educational media. Can we get children to participate in education modes of technology.
So as stated before in Pensky article Turning on The Light 50-70 % are bored in school (43). Well I always tell my students I am not here to entertain you, I can not make school a level 10 excitement at all times. You have to take responsibility for yourself and education. You need to focus on what is important in life and right now school is the most important thing in you life other than family and your religious beliefs. School is your job and take it seriously. So lets see has anyone tried to implement what students value the most into the classroom, technology.
The New York times in 2011 article In Classroom of Future, Stagnant Scores say the scores are stagnant. An initiative was taken in 2005 in Arizona the Kyrene School District and they invested 33 million in technological advances to improve the learning of students. But it was no successful. This has taken place around the country and the same results happen. Students are enthusiastic about learning but it is not translating into success.
I will talk to a few students and interview them and see how much technology do they use. They will tell me specifically what they use, and for how long do they think they use the technology. I will specifically want to know how much time is spent on cell phones, video games, TV, music, movies, Ipads, internet and how much time do they multi task. Then I will ask them how much time a day do they spend on educational tasks. Then How much time do they spend on educational technology. I will as do you think that more technology in the classroom will keep you focused longer? Will it improve your chances of learning? What are your grades like now? Do you consider yourself a good student? How many times a day do you feel bored in school? What is usually happening? Is the teacher lecturing are you testing, quiet reading ?
What modes of technology do you have in your class room presently? Projectors, Tv,s VCR, DVD players, Smart board, computers, Internet? What technology would you like to be added. Are there any classes presently that has you sing technology most of the session, Library time and/or Computer lab. What mode of technology helps you to learn better in your opinion? What keeps you more focused? Which one do you want because it seems to be the funnest? What modes of technology do you think you friends would want and benefit from? How much time are your friends spending on educational learning with out technology? How much time are they spending on technology for entertainment purposes?
By asking all theses question it can help me get the perspective of one or two students and the interest in technology on and entertainment level and on an educational level. I can activate what students knowledge is and what can benefit their learning the content being taught. I can process this by texts, video but only of me saying what the kid as reported. Pictures and my voice.
I would want to further the child conversation and discuss about a specific technology of smart boards. I can asks each student do they have any knowledge of a smart board. When and how have they used a smart board. Did the smartboard keep you from being board? Did it enhance your learning? What there any interactive components that you were able to use and or manipulate. Did you play a game on the smart board. If it was math did you write the problems out or did you just write the answer. What did other students think about the smart board lesson. Would you have gotten the same knowledge from just a teacher standing up with a piece of chalk and a chalk board. Now I need to find the research and the back up to show the benefits of the smartboards in class and some potential pitfalls of a smart board in class. I can also try and see the relations to test scores of students with and without smart boards inparticularly. The smart board is an interactive tool that enhances the learning process. I hope I can explain this through the text, photos, and clips.

Web log 4
My web 2.0 will consist of a calendar, gradebook, email system, and live interactive chat/discussion board.
I will use a calendar from jotlet. https://www.jotlet.net/
I want students and parents to be able to check important dates and event happening in class. They can see when homework assignments are due, when quizes and test will be and what materials are covered. It will show current units being covered for all to follow.
I will you a grade book from engrade. http://www.engrade.com/
Engrade is a secure website where all users will need a user id, pass code and id from the teacher to even be able to use the site. It seems to be well organized an easy for students and parents to navigate. Students and parents can check students grades and progress on each individual assignment and in the overall class.
Gmail mail.google.com is a email system that allows students to contact their teacher directly through email, students may have question and the teacher can respond to them very quickly and in depth. Students can feel free to write what ever they want because only the teacher can see what they are asking so students do not need to feel uncomfortable at all. This is a discussion directly between the student and teacher. Not the whole class.
Scribblarhttp://www.scribblar.com is collaborative communication web 2.0 page that has real-time multi-user whiteboard. Students can upload images and share. It has user lists and text chat. It includes live audio communications. Good discussion forum.
