Week Two: Your So-Called Digital Life ;-)

I know that week one is always a bit overwhelming for those who don't spend their lives on a computer. This week, I will ensure that everything from last week is clear and that you feel comfortable with my expectations in this class. . .I know I ask a lot from you, but you will receive a lot of support!

This week I want to ensure that everyone has a functioning blog (most are already on the blogroll) and that you posted your Intro Letter with a picture. And don't forget your Twitter account!
We will discuss the Journal Article 1-5 assignment, EdTechProfile and the scan. . .I also want to discuss iGoogle, RSS, Twitter, and Photobooth. . .fun will be had by all, I promise ;-)  Hopefully, you have had a chance to subscribe to ISTE and TaskStream.  I will show you how to self-enroll in the appropriate programs.

Journal 1: "Computing in the Clouds," by Doug Johnson from the Dec/Jan 2009/2010 issue of ISTE's Learning and Leading with Technology.  For a few more days, this article is free.  After this weekend when they change issue's, you will have to be a member to access.
I will go over in class how to access the L&L online version.

Don't forget to comment on the weekly questions. . .it is part of your attendance and participation grade for the semester.

    I like Switchfoot, I just saw them in concert in Hollywood and they were amazing! Their new CD is way better than some of their old stuff and I listen to it all the time on my commute to CSUSM :)

    It is always hard to answer this question I say it was all based on the genre of music. Lady Gaga and Keisha are my favorite pop singers at the music. Jack Jonhson and No Doubt will always be my original favorites thou :)

    My favorite band is "The Makaha Sons". They are a Hawaiian band whose music brings me back to my childhood as well as tell you who I am and what I am about.

    Currently I am really into country music. The newer country music has a little more of a rock and roll sound and a little less twang. My favorite singer/performer is Keith Urban. I went to a concert over summer and fell in love!

    My favorite band is Sublime. I don't even listen to them often these days. But when I hear some of there songs I am swept away to an older time. Sublime was the first band I ever listened to and 40oz to Freedom was the first album I ever bought. They were my introduction to music.
