Week 3 Review

Class this week really consisted of three major sections of content:

• Understanding the link between standards and objectives
• Playing with HTML Code (tags)
• Introduction to LiveText

These sections are not categorically related to one another, however they are meant to have impact on each other in some respect. Understanding the link between standards and objectives helps you to write and create strong lessons. Lessons (and the lesson you have for homework) can be created electronically in LiveText by creating documents. Documents created within LiveText can be further enhanced using HTML coding (tags).

Creating lessons is something that simply takes practice and understanding how objectives fit into standards also takes practice. Knowing how these things come together is not as simple or concrete as identifying the answer to a simple math problem like "2+2". This is especially true of the technology standards for students. These standards are far less concrete and more 'nebulous', but many examples of how teachers hit these standards exist.

Next week we'll start taking computers apart - or at the very least, looking at them and the peripherals we use with them.
