Journal 10 “I Can See Me” Timothy J. Frey NETS-T 1 & 2 & 3
The “I Can See Me” principle is that children can actually see themselves and realize what they are doing right or wrong. The main idea of this principle is for students to reflect on their work and improve what they do in their mistakes. In “I Can See Me: Webcams in the Classroom,” suggests that by using webcams, students can watch themselves so that they can see what they do wrong. Then the video is taken to be reflected between the teacher and the student so that they teacher can point out issues that the student didn’t see. Then the student is sent to reflect and watch the same video again, but this time also considering the issues pointed out by the teacher. This method has proven to improve reading skills and posture skills as well. When high school students find themselves having to do a speech in front of people, they are intimidated because they don’t know how they look, that is why this is a great method again.
Does this method change high school student’s perspective of speech as a high school student?
Ultimately, the “I can see me” method does change High School Student’s perspective because they are less intimidated of getting in front of people and show what they have to present. The issue is that students find themselves freighted by the fact of talking in front of people, but with the webcam they have the opportunity to see themselves and see what the audience would see in a presentation. They also have the chance to improve what they don’t like about their speech skills. But most importantly children have the opportunity to do it individually or with only a teacher, then they can do the real thing, meaning in front of other students. Practice another very important thing to do in speeches. Frey reflects on that webcam usage in class does improve their student’s opinion and skills of speech.
What else is there to Webcam and “I can see me” principle?
In addition to the fact that has the chance to improve what they don’t like about their speech skills, they also have the opportunity to share and incorporate this video in different places. The purpose of sharing their video and the information is for other institutions to use the method and realize that it’s a great way to encourage their students to use the digital tools that are available to them. Communicating this great tool also enables other students and peers know a way for them to improve their speech skills and a way no to be freighted when it come to performing speech. If I can sum this article I should say that this principle can “ enhance our instruction and add a new effective technique for teachers. The ability to easily capture, store, and share digital video will lead to many exciting educational opportunities for our students and teachers.”

Journal 9 ---Teach Your Students to Share Using iCyte NETS-T 1-3
Huston, D. (2010, November). In Teach Your Students to Share Using iCyte. Retrieved November 30, 2010
Huston, reflects one the way teachers have their students research. He states that teachers give out topics and lets them loose without telling them the main point of research. He implies that research should not just stay in paper. He believes that research found should be shared through network such as iCyte by creating a bigger social bookmarking. He explains that there are other networks such as Delicious, or Diigo, but iCyte is better because students and teachers unite in a type club for a same interest. When there is a same interest search become easier for anybody. Bookmarking research helps other students in their research.

In terms of research, what bookmarking engine is better for students?
According to Huston, iCyte is the best bookmarking engine because it is the only one that saves different categories of research for different fields. Huston says that other bookmarking engines don’t have different categories to make the search easier. I thought that Delicious was great already the way it was, but now that I know that iCyte is better, is great. I didn’t know it could get better. Teachers should begin using this search engine and teach their students to use it as well. I think that in order to expect good research h from students, tools have to be delivered to them in order to make it easier for them. This way they can actually enjoy the assignment.
What is the best way to make research easier for our students?
The best way to give an assignment is to teach students the best way to teach them the best way to search for the information that we as teachers are looking for. If we have big expectations we should supply them with search engines such as iCyte. Currently iCyte is not very commonly used, but with in time it will be used because it is a great search engine, great for social networking with same interest students, and a great way for students to collaborate with other students and even teachers. iCyte is a great way to teach students how to collaborate and even to save their research so that other students see the research.

Journal 8 --Save the World with Web 2.0 NETS-T 3 & 4
Lauren Cifuentes explains how Web 2.0 can save the world. With this term she means that the current young and children can learn the importance of becoming ethical people and with professionalism they can save the future world. Cifuentes believes that teachers and students can mutually learn to be people with strong ethics, concern with poverty, collaborating in causes to help other countries, and understanding the importance of balance in the government. After all of the information is conveyed both ways, the most important is to know how to collaborate and share the information through the web like in facebook, twitter, and delicious. Communication tools are imperative and take a huge role in Web 2.0, because that us the best and fastest way to get to more students than just a classroom. The student’s responsibility is to go to other students and communicate the importance of ethics.
How does language enter in the plan of saving the world?
Language takes a role in the plan of saving the world because in Web 2.0 there are sites that support the importance of learning more than one language. Language is a big issue now a day and it has been since diversity existed. Tolerance is a huge problem in this world, and if teachers are able to teach students the importance of diversity and accepting other language, we can have a world without wars and hate. On the other hand, if the teachers themselves don’t believe in the importance of diversity then there is no way for them to teach the importance of diversity. This job of saving the world with Web 2.0 is not simple, we need to start from the roots meaning that we need to teach teachers and then teachers need to teach students and the students can communicate to their friends.
How is involving students going to change their perspective of life?
Involving children in projects such as aiding people on poverty will let them know the need that many people are into and that way they will want to do something when they grow up. Additionally, as part of Web 2.0’s plan, students need to be taught the important of balance in the government and the distribution of money in the world. With projects like this, children will understand that the distribution of power is imperative and when vote time comes they will make the right election. Also, if many students are taught about the importance of ethics, when they stand in the white house with a high position, they will make the right decision thinking of other people.
