After reading chapter 6, technology integration really popped out, as well as curriculum. Curriculum is all the experiences a learner has under the supervision and guidance of teachers. Technology integration is all technology parts together with each subject-related area of curriculum to enhance learning. I learned technology integration in curriculum and some barriers included like lack of training for teachers and administration. I also learned about different types of strategies to integrate technology into teaching.
Some new skills I learned are dealing with chapter 6. For example, learning styles and how to incorporate teaching into the different styles. Another thing would be about the lesson plans. I learned how to draw up a lesson plan and insure that it integrates technology into a classroom.
Nothing really new to share, I'm really glad we won our football game! I may switch my major from teaching to youth services case worker. I'm not really sure yet. It's hard for me to make up my mind about what I want to do for the rest of my life.

After reading chapter 5, digital media plays an important part in American society as well as the rest of the world. Digital technology for education, business, and entertainment allows for everyone to use the world wibe web. There are also electronic books named e-books that are used more and more which allow users to read, save, highlight, bookmark, and many other things. Virtual reality is used more and more also to display entertaining images as well as educational environments. There are many different types of software that can be used to enhance learning on the web, educational simulation, and digital media.
The only new skills I have acquired are dealing with the Microsoft Word Training. I think those are helpful though, because I'm learning more and more about certain things that I never would have known. I didn't even know that some of these things existed. I think that the most important new skill I learned was dealing with templates and saving documents under different folders and different types of things (ie templates, rtf, html, etc).
I don't have anything new to share except that I just decorated my apartment for Halloween! I really like doing things like that. I think it's fun. I put up some decorations and lights with spiders on them! Halloween is exciting. Plus I'm in the process of babysitting my dog from back home. It's kind of different though, because I'm not used to having an animal here and she makes me get up EXTREMELY early.
