Lab - September 16, 2010

 In today’s class, we started off by signing in using the smart board.  When doing this we had to slide our name to under the search engine we use most.  I was surprised that almost everyone said that they use Google compared to other search engines, especially Bing.  I really thought that more people would say that use bing, just because it is becoming so popular and you are hearing so much more about it. 
                My favorite part of the lab was when we talked about the book chapter project, not only because it clarified a lot of questions I had about the project, but also because he gave us a lot of tips on how to give a successful presentation.  This was very interesting because not only does it connect with this class and the project we need to do it for, but it also helps us to become a better all around speaker and hopefully a better teacher.  I plan to implement these strategies for good speakers as often as I can in my professional and personal life. 
                We also used a game to discuss Chapter One of “Rethinking Education” that was called “get off the fence” in this game we were able to get up and move around the room while voicing our opinions about certain things.  I really liked this game and I hope to be able to use it in my classroom someday!
