Google Docs-Lab #3

Today we learned how to use Google docs. The link to Google docs is below.
Instead of sending emails with attachments, this is a quick and easy way to send email docs instead.  Everyone that you invite can look at the document, comment, edit, and also chat with others that are viewing the domument.  In the end we made our profile info into a booklet. as you can see in my picture. I think that Google docs is very innovative and is much more safer than sending regular emails with attatchments. It is also more convienient and much more organized. I think that I will definitely use Google docs in the future.

Here is the link for Google docs.

WebQuest!

This week in class, we started working on WebQuests. I decided to do my webquest on hockey for beginners. If you are interested in seeing here is the website, here is the link to my page http://www.student.lhup.edu/tkoser/WebQuest/Hockey%20for%20Beginners.htm. I feel like I did a really nice job on it. Not only did i naje a student page but i also have a link to the teacher page. You can simply navigate to that page by going to the teacher page link on the webstie. I feel that this kind of technology can be really helpful in the future to me as an educator. The possibilites are endless for teaching with technology and I really look forward to using this progam in the future.

My Concept Map

Hey everyone! So far this class is really teaching me a lot of stuff about the technology that is out there. I really enjoyed using Inspiration for our indiviual concept map. There are really endless possibilities of what can be achieved. This is my individual concept map that I created using Inspiration 8. The concept map is part of our collabrative project about recycling. I once made my own paper in high school and used my concept map to illlustrate it. I think that this program can help everyone, from teachers to students. They can really use this program to be creative and organized at the same time. This concept map isn't the most elaborate map but I think that the possibilities are endless. I can't wait to learn about some other programs that can help me in the future.

Introduction

Hey everyone! First off I just want to introduce myself. My name is Tyler Koser. I graduated from a small high school called Penns Valley Area High School in 2008. I enrolled in Lock Haven University in the Fall of 2008 as a Health and Physical Education major. I'm still a HPE major and I'm loving every minute of it.

I decided to be a Health and Physical Education major because I really enjoy working with kids. I always loved PE when I was in high school so I decided to take up this major. Plus, I love playing sports and being physically active, so I just felt that this major was a perfect fit for me.

As far as technology goes, I feel like I'm pretty good with it. I can do basic tasks like work with Microsoft Office, browse my pictures and music, and other tasks of that nature. I feel pretty comfortable when it comes to technology, although it can be frustrating at times!

I have taken one online class before. It was a basic music class. I took it the spring semester of my freshman year. It was an okay class. The thing that I liked most about the class is the freedom that I had in the class. I could decide when to do the work throughout the week. I think that if I had to choose again, I would still take it as an online class because let's face it, I'm not really into listening to Beethoven on a regular basis.

Last, but not least, one interesting fact about me is that my brother and I share the same birthday. We are six years apart to the day. June 23rd to those that are that interested when our birthday is.

I look forward to doing blog every week and reading really interesting things about everyone in class.
