Introduction

     My name is Daisy Haynes and I created this blog for my It 365 class.  This blog includes my journey through this semester in this class. Starting from the very first assignment to the last. Our final project is this "blogfolio". It will include all of my assignments from this class, the revised versions of course.
     Each assignment that we did in class is very crucial to our educational career. We learned how to do concept maps which are a really easy way of breaking down an otherwise difficult topic and explaining it easier. Using concept maps as a learning tool is very interesting also! We also did an activity where we used the web to create four articles that teachers use often. We made our own rubric, online quiz, worksheet, and puzzle. These items are necessary for basic curriculum in the classroom. Next, we created a blog, that's where this blog originated from. Originally this blog only contained the five NETS-T standards and our comments on them. Now we get to use this blog to create and even further learning experience. We also got the chance to learn to make our very own webpages!! The instructions were to pretend we had already graduated and had our very own classroom...FUN!! Assistive technology activity showed us how to incorporate people with disabilities into our classroom so that no one was left out. It gave us tons of resources that we could use to enable all students to learn. We also learned about the no-no's of plagiarism and how to revise to correct these errors. Finally we had some fun making a movie story on the theme of our choice.
