system using mobile phones, Twitter, and the web in place of clickers (Paz,
2017).The Poll Everywhere software allows teachers to engage learners, by
creating questions that allows students to use their mobile devices to respond
using text or pictures. According to Deng (2019) the use of modern technologies
has positive effect when learning assessment tools include student response
systems like Poll Everywhere (Deng, 2019). This technology tool “encourages
questions and class discussions” (Paz, 2017) and provides an alternative for
those students who may not be comfortable with speaking in class and also for
those learners with hearing impairment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Form, Google Drive, Google Doc, Google Slides, etc (Ramadhani et. al, 2019).
Therefore, through this google classroom platform, the teacher is able to
differentiate content by creating lesson activities and assignments and make
them easily accessible to students online. Students are also able to upload
assignments and the teacher is also able communicate and provide them with
feedback on their assignments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I teach my students how to solve-real
world problems, by teaching them problem solving skills and the steps in solving
a problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A strategy that I might be
able to implement within my classroom to allow students to solve real-world
problems is to allow then to be involved in activity based learning. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">My students know how to
design and ask essential questions. The essential questions are asked during
and at the end of my lesson. In helping my students to ask essential question,
I would present students with a scenario on the topic and then stimulate a
discussion for students to share their views and solve problems based on the
scenario given. In using the six D’s (define, discover, dream, design, deliver
and debrief), my students will be given the opportunity to formulate essentials
questions so as to solve given problem. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I consider the ability to
debrief as most important. This is because, it allows students to re-evaluate
and question the process in completing or solving the problem. Also, as Lee crochet
stated, debriefing allows one to, take time and go back and look at the product
and ask ourselves how could this product be made better now or next time. Global

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The most difficult of the 6
D’s would be deliver, as at this stage, students must be able to solve the
problem and then be required to produce and publish the solution. According to
Crockett et. al (2011), students must go all the way to deliver the solution,
as without fully implementing the solution, they will never know if it will
work </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">(Crockett
et. al, 2011). </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A benefit of solution frequency is that it provides
students with a step by step approach to solving a problem, as Crockett et. al
stated, solution frequency will help students navigate through complex problems
within the classroom and in their personal lives” (Crockett et. al, 2011).
Solution frequency also allows the teacher’s role to be shifted from the distributor
of knowledge but a “facilitator of learning within the classroom” (Crockett et.
al, 2011). A benefit of essential questions are that they promote inquiry based
learning and allows students to be fully involved and engaged during learning.
McTighe and Wiggins stated that essential questions “<span style="background: white;">stimulate thought, to provoke inquiry, and to spark more questions (McTighe
& Wiggins, 2013). It also allows students be “engaged in uncovering the
depth and richness of a topic”</span> <span style="background: white;">(McTighe &
Wiggins, 2013).</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

will be those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn” <span style="background: white;">(</span>Crockett & Churches, 2011, p.17).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The advancement in technology in the 21<sup>st</sup>
century allows students to learn in varied ways. Hence in teaching my students
how to learn, unlearn and relearn, as an educator I must “<span style="background: white;">shift the responsibility of learning from the teacher
to the students” (</span>Crockett & Churches, 2011, p.18).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, the benefits of teaching my
students to learn, unlearn and relearn, allows me to create a learning
environment that fosters inquiry-based learning as well as student centered and
active learning, where students are fully engaged and are given the opportunity
to learn at their own pace using technology. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In teaching my students to learn, unlearn and
relearn, online digital tools for e.g. voicethread can used to promote 21<sup>st</sup>
century skills such as collaboration and communication. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><br /></span></div>

relearn, I am able to allow them to explore the new technological advancements
and use them to think critically and solve problems. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In being aware of technological changes and
ensuring that they are effectively implemented within my lessons allows me to fulfill
the ISTE standards for teachers by using technology to foster students learning
and facilitate independent learners (ISTE, 2008).</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><br /></span></div>

ensure that it fosters the concept of teaching students how to learn, unlearn
and relearn. <span style="background: white;">According to Dede et. al (2013) the
implementation of 21st century competencies requires a restructuring of the
curriculum (Dede et. al, 2013). Another challenge that I may face is using
effective strategies to meet the learning needs of all my students. </span></span></div>

theory, instructional strategies and technology tools all correlates to support
teaching and learning. According to Orey (2010) “</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Constructionism
builds on the "Constructivist" theories of Jean Piaget, asserting
that knowledge is actively constructed in the mind of the learner” (Orey,
2010). Therefore </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">in the constructivist/constructionist learning
theory, the learner is able to construct his or her own learning from
experiences and prior knowledge, as such this theory of learning promotes active
learning as well as discovery learning by allowing students to discuss their
ideas and evaluate their learning. In a constructivist classroom the learner “</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">investigate,
create, and solve problems” through instructional strategies such as “collaboration,
discussion, presentation, and engaging in authentic real world tasks” (Orey,
2010). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The teacher is able to use the
instructional strategies to aid in students learning by being a “facilitator that
guides the learners along their paths of learning” (Orey, 2010). </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">The technology tools are the
software that can be used to support and enhance lesson so as to increase
students understanding of concepts. </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Therefore, with the instructional strategies and an
understanding of the learning theory, the technology tools can be used to carry
out lessons effectively and promote a deeper sense of learning for all
students. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">According to Pitler et. al.
(2012) “students who generate and test hypotheses by engaging in problem
solving have a clearer understanding of lesson concepts” (Pitler et. al, 2012).

constructivist-based instructional strategy, my learners are able to become
empowered learning and creative communicators, who are able to use a variety to
technology programs, as well as innovative designers who are able to use
technology to identify and solve problems (ISTE, 2016). As an educator, I see
myself becoming a facilitator of learning through the use of technology by
designing digital age learning experiences (ISTE, 2008) for my students. One
technology tool that would be useful within my classroom, is that of a
brainstorming software such as a graphic organiser, which can be used within my
classroom to help students organise and summarize their thoughts and see
connections between concepts, According to Pitler et. al. (2012) “Graphic
organizers and teacher guidance help students to be successful in higher-order

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Over the years the education system have been
evolving and as such, the varied approaches to learning have been reformed so
as to meet the needs of our 21<sup>st</sup> century classrooms. Therefore, new teaching
strategies are being employed by teachers within the classroom so as to better
facilitate learners. The behaviourist approach to learning, infused with
instructional strategies and technology tools all plays a vital role today in
enhancing 21<sup>st</sup> century students learning. According to Orey (2010),
behaviourism is defined by behaviourist learning theories as “</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">changes
in behavior that result from stimulus-response associations made by the
learner” (Orey, 2010). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The effectiveness
of teaching and learning results in a change in behaviour and an effective
teacher, uses varied methods and strategies as well as technology tools to
promote positive outcomes in students. According to Dr. Orey (2015) “behaviourism
revolves around operant conditioning’ (Laureate Education, 2015), through
reinforcement and punishment. However Dr. Orey (2015) Stated that “of the two,
reinforcement is considered most important” (Laureate Education, 2015). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Behaviourism approach in the classroom is
mainly about observable behaviour of learners. However this approach can be
adapted so as to suit the learning needs of our 21<sup>st</sup> century
students by infusing technology and diverse instructional strategies. Dr. Orey
(2015), explained that “operant conditioning can be incorporated in programmed
instruction” (Laureate Education, 2015), this behaviourist instructional strategy
is used collaboratively with technology that provide students with support
during learning. One example of a programmed instruction as outlined by Dr. Orey
(2015) are tutorials which are used for learning that gets the learner to “make
a decision” and the system then provide the learner with feedback as to whether
the answer is correct or incorrect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
approach have been used in my classroom, to help reinforce concepts that were
previously taught and also encourage self-paced learning, which helps students
to evaluate themselves with minimal to no teacher assistance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The behaviourism-based technology approach
can be located through various websites in which I am interested in exploring
with my students. One behaviourism-based technology that would be useful in my
grade 9 math class is Webmath.com (2016), which can give my students practice in
solving mathematical problems. As well as internet4classrooms (n.d.), for
students to get online and interactive practice in mathematics. The combination
of behaviourism, instructional strategies and technology tools helps to support
students learning, through in class and homework activities. However, Pitler
et. al (2012) recommended that we “teach students about the relationship
between effort and achievement” </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">(Pitler, 2012, p. 58).</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">In today’s
technological environment, the use of technology correlates with 21<sup>st</sup>
century students and their learning. Hence, the technology tools and websites and
tutorials can be used to enhance the students learning through reinforcement.
However, </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Orey (2010) asserted that, Behaviorist techniques have long been
employed in education to promote behavior that is desirable and discourage that
which is not. (Orey, 2010). Behavorist-based instructional strategies and
technology tools have been used in my classroom setting for students to do online
learning activities which does not allow students to complete a stage until they
have successfully mastered it, as well as tutorials and other drill and
practice activities. Pitler et.al (2012) noted that, technology is an excellent
tool that allows teachers to create websites and galleries that provide access
to classmates, parents, and the public at large (Pitler & Hummell, 2012). I
try at all times to promote a positive learning environment within my
classroom, my students are awarded and provided with feedback when they have
completed specific tasks through positive reinforcement. According to Pitler
et. al (2012), "Technology helps students and teachers to better track the
effects of effort and provide more immediate feedback to students."
(Pitler, 2012). Students are able to post their work on wikis and other
websites for teacher to access and provide students with feedback via email or
through other medium. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

educator to become cognisant of the ISTE standards for students and teachers.
In using these tools and strategies within my learning environment, my students
will meet the ISTE standards by becoming empowered learners, by using
technology to “seek feedback informs and improves their practice and
demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways” (ISTE, 2016). Additionally, using
the various behaviourism based technology tools allow my students to become
“computational thinkers” in solving mathematical problems using technology. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ISTE for teachers’ strategies that are
addressed in using these tools allows the teacher to “use technology to create,
adapt and personalise learning experiences that fosters independent learning
and accommodate learner differences and needs” (ISTE, 2008) also allows the
teacher to facilitate learning by “creating opportunities that challenge
students to use a design process and computational thinking to innovate and
solve problems” (ISTE, 2008). Thereby promoting learning for all students. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

able to apply the sources researched for this module’s discussion by using my

Thereby improving teaching strategies and enhancing the learning environment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">Initially when I started
this course, I had limited knowledge of some of the latest web 2.0 tools that I
can use within my classroom. However, the media, resources and activities of
this course have helped me to develop my own technology skills as a
professional teacher, as now I am more aware of the various web 2.0 tools that
I can use within my teaching and learning environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was new to using some of these tools and as
such some of the activities was a bit overwhelming, for example when I was
creating the Twitter account and using it to post tweets. However, after
completing this course my knowledge have now been broaden on the tools that I
can use within my learning environment. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
new awareness have now transformed the ways in which I view teaching and learning
and how much more effective my lessons can be if I explore the new changes
within the technological environment and use such change to influence the way I
plan and conduct my lessons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 36.0pt;">

of the teaching and learning process with respect to integrating technology, in
how I am able to use the tool to promote collaborative learning among my
students. I am now more aware of how powerful technology can be within the
learning environment. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a bid to
facilitate the changing 21<sup>st</sup> century classroom, I would integrate
technology within my lessons so as to promote student engagement, communication
and collaboration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">One web 2.0 tool that I am
willing incorporate within my classroom is creating wikis or google-sites to
enhance my learning environment. However the potential roadblock to using this
tool within my classroom is access to resources such as a reliable internet
access. The institution at which I work is located in a rural environment,
therefore, there is not much I can do to overcome this issue of limited access.
Another potential roadblock would be the time to effectively create the wiki-site,
and also time to teach the students how to properly navigate and use the
website. However, I would schedule my time to create and update the website,
and also have sessions with my students outside of the regular class time to
teach them how to use the tool. I believe, my students will eventually become
fully competent in using the tool and consequently overcome this issue of time.
Using the Wikisite/googlesite will help to develop my students “technology
literacy” skills (Applied Educational Systems, 2019) as they will be able to
develop competence in using the tool. According to the ISTE Standards for
students (2016), my students will be able to develop “communication” skills and
also become “global collaborators, by using the digital tools to broaden their
perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with others (ISTE
Standards for students, 2016). My students will be able to use the tool interact
and work with others to complete task thereby building their 21<sup>st</sup>
century collaborative skills. As an educator in implementing this web 2.0 tool
within my classroom, I am able to achieve the ISTE (2008) standards for
teachers by becoming a “facilitator of learning” by using technology to enhance
learning as well as “designer of learner driven activities, (ISTE, 2008).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

concepts and topics covered within this course aligns with an issue <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I might want to study, in finding out how
technology can be used effectively within the classroom to facilitate learning.
There is minimal usage of technology within my school environment. Hence, I see
a great need for us as educators to know how to use the advances in technology effectively
within our classroom environment to impact learning. I believe for us to move with
the changes within society then we need to start within the classroom. Our 21<sup>st</sup>
century students, requires diversity, hence the onus is on us as educators to
cultivate a learning environment that focuses on using technology to enrich
learning for our learners. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I chose the
specialization, “integrating technology” within the classroom, so as to aid me
becoming more aware of how I can use technology to transform education and
lives of my 21<sup>st</sup> century students. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

tool to be used within my teaching environment. This Web 2.0 tool can be used
to enhance my lessons, as it would allow me to post resources and content
relating to the subject that I teach and also add links to other websites. Thereby
allowing my students to have access to the learning resources and also interact
and share their views and opinions outside of the regular classroom. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Richardson (2010) states that weblogs can be
used to gather and organize internet resources, (Richardson, 2010, p.51).
Therefore incorporating blogging within my teaching environment will allow my
students to become discovery learners, as I could have them use the blog to conduct
research so as to gain additional information relating to concepts taught
within the classroom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

currently teaching grades 10 and 11. Blogs are an essential web 2.0 tools to
use within my classroom, according to Richardson (2010), having a space to
publish course curriculum, syllabus and homework assignments makes weblogs a
powerful course management tool </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">(Richardson, 2010, p.34).
Richardson also states, that weblogs expands the walls of the classroom and
allows for collaboration to be more diverse and accessible. </span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-JM; mso-style-textfill-fill-alpha: 100.0%; mso-style-textfill-fill-color: #0D0D0D; mso-style-textfill-fill-colortransforms: "lumm=95000 lumo=5000"; mso-style-textfill-fill-themecolor: text1; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;">The syllabus for Information
Technology, is lengthy, hence I believe using weblogs in my classroom would
benefit me and my students greatly as it provides an avenue for not only collaboration
for students but also for teacher to manage students’ course materials.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

equitable access for educational technology to meet the needs of diverse
students. Another standard that is met by blogging is the teacher being a
facilitator of learning with technology by managing the use of technology and
