I was able to create a PDF for my class on a month to month basis, which may provide an introduction about myself as a teacher, a brief introduction to my class, the class curriculum, and explain the technology that would be integrated into my classroom.

SocialBookmarkingEd422Spring10.doc Brian Kane:NETS I and IV
Delicious allows users to promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information.I created a "tag" and categorize websites using keywords provided, as well as those that are important to the user such as Conducting online researching immerses students in examining real-world issues in a virtual environment.
#1 I read and saw how that if a class room uses primary sources in a class room portrait_of_black_chicago/, the Sources were on How Black America and this photographer got in contact with the EPA.
#2 The gap is between: Racial and ethnic minorities English,language learners, Students with disabilities, Boys/girls, Students from low-income families. After reading and listening to Mr. Filbert, I feel that I am best suited for Minorities. The reason I feel I can help Minorities is that I grew up in an Italian family with little means and I can relate to Family.I also grew up in Valley Center were there was a lot of field workers, and their children went to school me, so I have more compassion for minorities. Also I have been married to two Hispanic women and had to learn their cultural.Another group is boy and girls, I can relate because I was a boy in school. I also have a 13 year old daughter in school. So I could answer both of the questions of you do not understand because I am a boy or a girl.I have also worked with men and women, I have coached men and women so I have a great understanding for the difference. I can also feel for the students with disability, because I have a disability, I have broke my back twice, and I had a learning disability growing up.Having a learning disorder growing up I have more compassion and understanding for children with learning disorders.Now that i have a disability I can emphasize with students with a disability.
#3 I have a 0 for a score I did not know that you could do any of those things, I am so technology lame.
After reading all those topics, I learned a lot. Now in todays world nothing is safe. Im can ruin a class, if the teacher is not aware, also school really cant do anything about what happens out side of class.I think life for kids seems easier, because of technology, but it is not. Now children have to woory about waht someone put on the Internet, what is cool in the whole world, what is going on at every minute of the day. Take me back to when lights on the street went out, then it was family time and nothing else. Man those were great time, no worries at all, at least no real harmful worries.
#4 I looked up history for the subject, and then looked up day and the events on that day. This is a great tool for teacher to go back in time and help students to learn about history every day. I will use that tool because it will spark interesting talks. then on the teacher site I went to lesson plans,this was also very useful. It gave you all kinds of topic to use, support materials, how to enhance your lesson plan. This will be a very useful web site for me.
#5 I am naturalistic 100%,Interpersonal 100%, Bodily-Kinesthetic 83%. I watched the video on Multiple Intelligences Thrive in Smartville. What I learned is that every student has their own way of learning, and sometimes the normal way of learning might not be the correct way. This school lets the students learn in the way that fits them. The students have multiple intelligences, not just one.

Level:Grades 6 to 8 Grades 9 to 12
Subject:Social Studies After the students came back to class then you could teach them about history and other walk out that happened.•How are the walkouts of 1968 similar to the walkouts of 2006? How are they different?
•What caused students to walk out in 1968? How have those issues changed or remained the same in 2006?
•Munoz and others who walked out in 1968 were arrested and imprisoned for conspiracy to "willfully disturb the peace and quiet" of Los Angeles. Do you think their goal was to disturb the peace? How do you think they would have described their goal?
•In both 1968 and in 2006, students faced arrest, school suspensions and criticism in the press. Knowing this could happen, they decided to walk out anyway. Why? Was it worth it?
•What issue would compel you to take the same amount of risk the students in 1968 and in 2006 faced? Have you ever taken risks to stand up for what you believe is right? How did it feel? Would you do it again?
•Munoz says his right to protest was ultimately protected under the First Amendment. How did the First Amendment protect the students who walked out in 2006? This would lead to a very long and thought provoking lesson.
#7 question #4In a 2007 study, UNICEF rated the treatment of children in the 23 wealthiest countries in the world based on 40 indicators of child well-being. Which two countries received the lowest ratings?
I would not believe that we had the lowest child care.question #9 According to UNICEF, the wealth of the three richest people in the world is roughly equal to the combined Gross Domestic Product of:
was also hard to believe that 3 of the richest countries had more money than 48 other countries.
#8 I received a 70% on the test. B:-) Sunglasses on head

E Journal 2 Brian Kane: NETS IV and V
Brad M. Maguth, BM, & Elliott, JE. (2010). Using Podcasts to develop a global perspective . Iste online journal, Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=February_No_5_4&Template=/MembersOnly.cfm&NavMenuID=4495&ContentID=25244&DirectListComboInd=D
This Journal was on Podcasting, podcasting is using the internet and technology to reach wider opportunities. With the world in some people minds in serious distress, a podcast can reach more than just their local town. The podcast can reach around the world. This class in Ohio took the idea of global warming and made a movie or a podcast. This class took the idea of Meet the Press and made a educational script. These class mates took six of the most people in the world with the most influence on global warming. After doing the research on what the thought these people might say and do on a Meet the Press. These students made a script and had the audio done like it was a real Meet the Press. Using technology these students from Ohio could reach the world with their podcast.
Question 1.Should more schools develop a podcast system in their schools. The assignment was an authentic learning experience in that it allowed students to showcase a degree of depth on an important global issue, led them to be well informed on multiple perspectives, and gave them a chance to discuss current global issues. (Brad M. Maguth, & Elliott, 2010)
Question 2.Will technology help students in the world be more aware of the global diversity in the future. At a science, technology, engineering, and math high school in Columbus, Ohio, we are using digital technologies such as podcasting to engage students in learning about other cultures. Podcasting not only allows students the opportunity to interact with digital technologies, it also allows students to apply what they know and reach a wider, even global audience. Having an authentic audience via the Internet motivates students and encourages them to appreciate culturally diverse perspectives. (Brad M. Maguth, & Elliott, 2010)

Ejournal 1 Brian Kane:NETS III and V
Doug Johnson, DJ. (2009). Computing in the clouds. Iste online journal, 37(2009/2010), Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Publications/LL/LLIssues/Volume3720092010/DecemberJanuaryNo4/Computing_in_the_Clouds.htm
This Ejournal was cool for someone who knows very little about how computers and the web work. I am one of those people who have very little knowledge of how the whole Email, Internet, Web, and anything to do with computers really work. This article shows how to use the “Cloud” which is the word for Google Docs work. One does not need an expensive computer set up to be able to use the “Cloud”, the Cloud is free, so that can free up space on your computer. The more space you have the less you need to buy for storage, the less storage the less expensive computer you need. The really neat thing about the cloud is that schools do not have to blow their yearly budget on expensive computer. This will allow schools to purchase more computers than before. Now every child can have a computer, as long as they use the cloud.
Question 1 is how someone starts to use the cloud. Someone would have to start to move all their files to the Cloud. Computer. Rather than using a full-scale laptop computer, I've been using a 10-inch ASUS 1000HA netbook that cost about $350. The smaller keyboard and screen size took some getting used to, but now I can work on the computer for long periods of time. The speed is acceptable, the battery life is good, and the wireless connectivity is fast.
E-mail. Both my school's Microsoft Exchange system and my personal Gmail accounts already have robust online e-mail clients. My biggest challenge has been moving all my saved e-mail from my hard drive—based Entourage/Outlook client to my online Gmail account, and then tagging all that old e-mail so I can find it again. (I have a folder mind, not a tag mind, I'm afraid.)
Web searching and bookmarking. I already have a www.delicious.com account, so I just imported the bookmarks I had saved in my browser.
Word processing, presentations, and spreadsheets. After years of using Office, the move to Google Docs for my day-to-day productivity has been surprisingly easy. In fact, getting away from Office's "feature creep" has been refreshing. However, although Docs is fine for writing short pieces, it's not practical for writing a book. But how many of your students will be writing books? (Doug Johnson, 2009)
Question 2 is using the cloud safe and secure. This is probably the deal-breaker for many skeptics of this trend. As a devout belt-and-suspender kind of guy, I'd encourage you to keep local backup copies of all important online documents. But Jeffrey Kaplan, managing director of the consulting firm ThinkStrategies ("Five Myths About SaaS," CIO, March 23, 2009), assures, "Although service disruptions experienced by Google...get plenty of attention, those types of incidents don't happen very often, and they don't last as long as many enterprise outages. And there hasn't been a major compromise of a SaaS [software as a service] operation reported yet, even as we continue to read regular accounts of security breaches in traditional IT environments."
Are my files private? Can we trust Google and others not to peek at our stuff? This is another major concern. A slide in an online seminar offered through Google Apps Education Edition claims that:
• Google does not own your data.
• Google does not share your data.
• You can keep your data as long as you want.
• Google will remove your data when you ask.
You can take your data elsewhere. (Doug Johnson, 2009)
