The END!

Today, we tried using Avatars once more to help with class. It was a very interesting idea because people could talk with one another without being in the same room. However, we had so many technical difficulties that for our group, it was ineffective. I go back to my previous statements about it, I would wait to have the kinks worked out before I would use the avatars with my class. It would be a fun way to teach students about places if I were able to create my own worlds. The system imprudence had a couple locations of Gettysburg, and I think that it would be a very informative lesson if I were able to 'show' the students, through an avatar the location of Gettysburg. This class has been quite informative about the use of technology within the class. I would appreciate having some sort of email or link of the websites that we used so that I could have them all in one place, if possible. There are so many possibilities when it comes to teaching students. I find that technology just opens up the possibilities!
