3. How could this website be useful as a teacher? How could it be useful for your students?
It could be useful for both teachers and students because the students could be connected to the teachers network and the teacher could put assignments on delicious. They could also put the websites they need to post on.
Students can use websites in their network to show their teachers their homework and that they understand concepts while the teacher is helping other students and to help with different subjects in school.
Remote Access Questions:
1. Pick some of Mr. Fisher's blog entries and read them. What are some of the ways that Mr. Fisher uses technology in his classroom?
He uses blogs, email, internet messenger, and many other technologies in his classroom. I see both good to this and bad. He is promoting a “gamer” generation but what about those students who are not gamers?
2. What questions would you like to ask Mr. Fisher?
I would like to know if his blog between LA and his school were actually working. They are different times zones and I want to know if all the students actually like it.
3. What did you like about his blog?
I liked how he told what he was thinking with what he was doing in the classroom. I don’t like I would like a live stream of video going through my classroom the entire time. You don’t know if you could stop people from watching.

2. What questions would you like to ask Mr. Glogowski?
How is he able to teach his class with not the same structure as teachers are using now?

I really liked his blog because it was his actual genuine thoughts. I like how is does not want to be the norm but wants to change it.
Blogs in Education Questions:

They are programs that take your favorite blogs and put them into one program (text format).
