 * // I learned the importance of being more detailed when giving a student an online assignment. The way you gave us instructions forced us to be engaged and follow each step to complete the assignment. I also learned the difference between web 1.0 and 2.0 tools and how to use those effectively in the classroom. I am ready to use peripherals in the classroom so that the students can express what they learning. These tips, if used appropriately, will allow for a fun, productive learning environment for students. (James Howard)  //
 * // Teachers should use more technology and not be afraid of it. Technology helps students learn in more ways than thought possible. Many techers are not comfortable with technology and all that it brings but they should take into consideration what the student could learn and teach others. Technology is helpful in any subject from art, math, music, science and reading. Teachnology helps students learn in other forms that may help keep interest and motivates them to learn.
