Anthro Tech Assignment:
In this assignment, we examine technological resources and culture of Seward High School. Through a series of directed questions (inventory) and reflection, I have a much better understanding of what is available and what may be lacking.

Digital Storytelling (DST) Project:
DST combines the age-old art of communicating something of importance with current technology that helps to make it engaging. Using the history of fish traps in Alaska as the story, I will introduce my environmental science students to this media. They will create their own DST based on current or proposed projects in Alaska with environmental implications.

Internet Resources:
Throughout the day and week, there are number of websites that I utilize as resources for instruction or facilitating my practice.
Read this paper for a full list of websites and why.

Online Education Community:
Perhaps it is fear or just stubbornness, but social media is as appealing to me as writing a paper about the benefits of the spork. Don’t I have better things to do? Frankly, this is my primary reason for not engaging in social media. While the benefits of connecting with an online community focused on sharing ideas related to a common theme are obvious, chiseling out the time everyday to filter through the blather has not been a priority. Fine, Dr. Ohler, I will grin and bear it.

Individualized Education Project:
The following paper explores how I can learn a new technology and incorporate into my classroom. Since students will have to create a DST next semester and the school has computers loaded with Window Movie Maker (WMM), I better learn how to use it myself.
