My knowledge of technology is fairly extensive. This does not mean however that there is not room to learn more or improve on my skills and knowledge. The best thing I have discovered lately is livebinders in this class I have already begun implementing the use of livebinders in my position, not only as a coach but also a classroom teacher. I am also trying to learn more about how to use livebinders so that I can teach others in my department and we can use it as a collaborative tool. This has been a great course in terms of using the concepts learned immediately and directly in everyday teaching.
My campus internship has been going well. My on-site mentor has done a great job of involving me in many aspects of the everyday workings of a campus. I have a couple of activities left such as textbook distribution methods, transportation safety, and food services operations which I will do in the fall. As far as hours are concerned I have already met or exceeded the requirements.
My research project is a different story. I have collected all my data but as of now I have not put it all together in presentation form. I have a blueprint in my mind but have not had the time to set down and put it all together on paper. As soon as the first week of school is over I plan to set aside time to get this project completed.

Web Conference Reflection
The web conference attended was interesting. There was a lot of discussions concerning the blocking of collaborative on line tools by local school districts. Students discussed other options other than facebook which can be used in the classroom setting. One option was using edmodo, which is a facebook for education tool. Also discussed was the use of google docs in for collaboration in and out of the classroom. Also discussed was the way that students learn to cheat when using such tools as dropbox. Overall it was concluded that there are many tools which can be used when trying to use technology for collaboration.
