Tech Post 2

So I decided I wanted to say more for my Tech Posting. I wanted to introduce an excellent Open Source tool for Algebra and Geometry use. GeoGebra.org is a great visual open source software tool that Math teachers can use in the classroom and for individual use. The software has over 50 different languages and a forum that allows discussion of complicated math problems, This website is a hub of mathematicians from all over the world.

Tech Post: LCD Projector

For my assignment blog post I'm exploring technology in the classroom. I feel one of the most underrated tools in the classroom right now is the LCD projector. Its versatility is underrated because most teachers are to busy using it. It's like right underneath their nose. Some educators out there might think I'm being over the top with this idea but think about it. Interactive white boards...Really? I'm not saying it's a bad peace of technology but it's difficult for some new time users. The whole LCD Projector is interactive just as the whiteboard but is just a mirror of the desktop of the classroom computer which makes it a natural to navigate. Not to mention quick, easy and relatively cheap technology, they should be in every classroom. I'm not saying that all we should focus on is LCD projectors, it's great to explore technology like white boards or individual tablets. Isn't it more important to produce results? That's what LCD projectors bring to the table.

What do you think?

Open Post

Hello Readers,

So I just wrote a huge post and was about to post it when Blogspot decided to be a total peace of crap and redirected while I was just about to post losing all my writing.

THANKS OBAMA

So I'll try to write up what was talking about before. I was lamenting about my Internship. I'm very thankful for internship with all the opportunity given to me to find a career but I worry. I have to pay this organization money to work for them. I'm paying somebody to work. That is just insane. What if things don't work out and I'm not hired by this organization. A waste. A total waste.

Sometimes I hear about teachers graduating and getting a job at age 22. HOW?

The requirements are so time consuming to accomplish. I wonder their SECRET. YES SECRET.

Thanks for reading,

          Hello! Thank you for reading my blog for LAE 4343 Programs in Teaching Language and Composition instructed by Dr. Elizabeth Scanlon. During this Spring 2015 semester I will be using this blog to complete various assignments for the class. After the class is over I plan to convert this blog into a type of virtual resume and a information disbursement tool.

A little about myself for my first post. I was raised up in the Orlando area where I attended Oviedo High School and Seminole State College of Florida where I graduated with honors. I’ve done various service learning experiences at Lawton Chiles Middle School and Jackson Heights Middle School in Seminole County Florida. I’m now in my final semesters at UCF applying to various graduate schools while exploring my career path.

As of right now I'm interning for Florida Virtual School. My class assignment is Language Arts III taught by Traci Handlin. I'm excited to be working with this class and I'm learning a lot in the process of adapting to a virtual teaching environment. I'm attending full time classes at UCF as well. Look for more post in the future as well as more features are added to my new blog.

Sincerely,

-Rich
