Chapter 9&10 Blake Stanger

I know that blogs are going to be a tool that I use for my classes. This class has shown me the value of the blog in a learning setting. I know that students can learn from blogs and use them like a personal journal, but the teacher has great access to them.

Interactive story books are a great resource. I worry about my students doing their readings. I think that an interactive story book would motivate and make my students much more likely to do the reading. This way I can use technology to show my students that reading is a great tool for learning.

I want to make sure that my students who have alternative language needs are well served and they feel my efforts are genuine. I will make sure to look into the subject material and see that it is a real subject that foreign language learners find interesting and is a part of their culture.

I want to make sure that my presentations are interesting for students and they stay engaged and focused. I will use presentation aids like key note to their full potential and make my presentations interesting and engaging for students.

I will make my academic language and vocabulary accessible to my ESL students. In this way I will help them to engage in the language they are learning, and to use they're learning in the actual field that they are trying to progress in.

I want to know if learning a foreign language like spanish would be a large benefit to me in a teaching position.
