Self Introduction


Shyann Fermahin 


Answer the following question, what is your favorite technology gadget or gizmo and explain why it is your favorite.
  • My favorite technology gadget or gizmo would have to be my iPhone 5 because I am always on it.  It pretty much holds my life in there.  Whether its my photos of my loved ones, or a calendar of my daily schedule, this helps me build my day along with apps to keep me sane through all the daily challenges life seems to give me.  
In this class we will have an online small group project, please describe your work style and two skills or traits you bring to an online group. 
  • I am very supportive to others and also committed to getting my work done.  I believe that school is a priority and education is very important which is why I would like to become a teacher.  

A link to an online video that focuses on the need for teachers to address 21st century learner OR A link to an online video example of a teacher integrating technology into their classroom and facilitating learning,
  • I found this video on youtube, it was a college professor who decided to experiment with twitter and incorporate that in the classroom.  It was a way to get students to use technology by computer, cell phones, and note taking if they wanted to, but would be posted online.  these posts was a way to pull this class to put their knowledge out to share with everyone through class discussion.  It worked to be successful even of you aren't physically in class to learn what is going on, you can still find ways through technology to gain the same knowledge.
