My Digital Story Description
My Digital Story is about of what I learned in this course: the fundamental concepts, knowledge , skills, and attitudes for applying technology across multiple disciplines.
Besides,there is a group of photos of my classmates with whom I shared our experiences in teaching and technology. Throughout this Digital Story I had the opportunity to narrate my own story and describe how this course met all my expectations, becoming a teacher with a modern view of education.

Second Life Project
Second Life can teach users how to work effectively in a group by allowing them to experiment with behaviors that they may be reluctant or shy to try in the real world. Hundreds of leading universities and school systems around the world use Second Life as a part of their educational programs. Linden Lab works enthusiastically with education organizations to familiarize them with the benefits of virtual worlds, connect them with educational peers active in Second Life, and showcase their inworld projects and communities.
A large, active education community—with hundreds of K-12 and higher education members—are engaged in Second Life.Second Life has also proven a valuable professional development medium for educators.

Computer as teaching tools
Computer has become one of the most important things in our lives. As teaching tools serves both teachers and students. I think that the use of integrating technology in classrooms facilitate the way to communicate and collaborate peers, parents, and the community. Also, it has helped the students to learn in fun and novel ways. C as T T has evolved into a very cool teaching and learning tool.
Reflection on AUP
AS I read and studied our new assignment, I was clueless on how completing this assignment thoroughly. When I looked up, I saw my solution, there it was, the Internet. When you really think about it, there are countless things that could not be done without technology and its modern sources that simplify many difficult tasks.
As a future educator I personally find this assignment to be helpful in many ways. One of the first things I realized is that I cannot be a successful teacher without knowing vital rules of the FEAP. Rules of the FEAP include, the (EAP) Florida Educator Accomplished Practice, which indicates: “The professional teacher uses technology (adequately) to establish the active learning environment with existing and innovative technologies available at the school site. She/he provides students with opportunities to use technology to gather and share information with others, and facilitates access to the use of electronic resources.” This rule makes me aware of the Internet service at schools.
Through this assignment, I now comprehend that parents/guardians and students could be notified that their daughter/son will have a secure and efficient manner to use the Internet. However, the use of Internet through the school is a benefit, and therefore not required. Consequently, any inadequate use, may be an immediate elimination of this benefit. Due to the Legislation, the school will provide information on the following legislation relating to use of the Internet in which educators, parents and students should be familiar with:
· Data Protection (Amendment) Act 2003
· Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998
· Interception Act 1993
· Video Recordings Act 1989
· The Data Protection Act 1988
It is important that students must get a password or are allowed by a teacher/administrator to have access to any network, website, or any application.
Moreover, the impacts our nation’s young students receive every day from technology has numerous benefits. One of them is that they are able to create, design, and learn network programming with websites, also that they will have the opportunity to enhance their abilities on posting artwork, projects (as policies and approval processes, according to the content that can be loaded to the school’s website, require), homework assignments. Sources like these, just gives students more options to creativity.
In conclusion, as the world’s most powerful nation grows and creates new computer technology to prepare our future leaders, the more capable we will be as teachers of succeeding in the teaching field. Ways of improving the learning experience of our children are offering our assistance to increase their knowledge, studying skills and motivation. We, teachers must also update our skills by attending conferences, seminaries and parent meetings. Achieving our goals and helping our students achieve theirs will pay off with a successful, emerging nation.

Nancy Melara first blog
I decided to be a teacher for many reasons; one was because of my Dad's family. As I grew up I noticed that most of my Dad's relatives were teachers. Furthermore, teaching became one of my dreams that later on became real. I believe that teaching is one of the ways to help people become successful, and be successful myself.
