In chapter 8 we were introduced to certain aspects of the internet in the classroom such as websites and creating a class website that students can access from home. We were also introduced to online classroom management tools like practice test generators and electronic grade books. While describing out to design a class website, we also read about acceptable uses for class websites as well as privacy issues and filtering options. In chapters 7 and 8 we were also supposed to be working the digital images project. I found this project a little frustrating at first because I had trouble finding a central theme for my pictures. But then I remembered the trip I took to New York City with my high school marching band when I was a senior.
I found the section about creating class websites and the proper uses of them most interesting. I also enjoyed playing around with my pictures in Photoshop and fine tuning my skills. I haven't used Photoshop in quite some time and it was nice to get some practice and yet still have freedom to make it my own project. When I have my own classroom in the future I will definitely utilize the website creation section of chapter 8. I may also have students do their own creative digital images project.
