Static and Dynamic Technologies
https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0Bw6PSvr5BsgQZTk4NWU5NWItOTdjMi00Yjk2LWIzZTYtMmFiMzI4MTY1ZWU2&hl=en
As an online student I feel that I am more on the dynamic side of the continuum. Through both of my courses this quarter I feel very confident in the amount of collaboration and communication I have done with my fellow students through either a wiki, blog, and discussion boards. In both of my courses I have been given a topic to work on from the instructor, but the content that I have to provide comes from my own knowledge and research. In the area of content I am actually quite surprised with what I have learned in the area of creating projects to provide and learn new information. The multimedia project that is due shortly has been quite a challenge in many ways, but I am learning new ways to present information. Along the way I have gathered information for my topic of mobile learning.
Where I feel that I am more on the dynamic side as a learner I don't feel as an educator I'm there for the way I am presenting information to my students. Some of the areas such as communication and collaboration are still restricted by my school district in how we use technology, but I need to work more on having them create more content so that they can learn more about the objectives that I am presenting to them.

In creating the graphic organizer of the 3 C areas I thought of my classroom, students learning, and my teaching instruction. I tried to envision what areas I would like to use various technology with my students, how I could use it, or what I am currently using. Right now I feel that I’m in a technology rich district, but we are forbidden to use many tools to engage students.
While looking at the technology tools I found that many overlapped in other areas. Currently in my district we are using Skype to talk to other building so that we can professionally plan and collaborate together, but we are not allowed to use it with students. I think that would be a wonderful technology to have two classrooms full of students share science experiments, writing, or complete a reader’s theater project from . The same idea came to mind for blogs and wikis. I have several students who are very shy and reserved when it comes to speaking out in class and sharing their thoughts, but when they put pen to paper the ideas flow like a waterfall. If they were allowed to keep a student blog or start a group wiki I cannot imagine the knowledge they would be able to share with classmates or another age similar classroom. Wiki and blogs in my mind fit in all 3 C areas.
Content can be delivered by the educator, the students can collaborate together, and continued communication can come from the educator and the students combined. The educator posts questions so that all of the groups of students will respond (Durrington, Berryhill, & Swafford, 2006, p. 191).
