Blogging Assignment

So this is my blog for my Technology for Teachers class at Lewis. I've attached a picture of a future Flyer baseball player for visual appeal. I think the blog was relatively simple to create, navigate, and update. Our discussion on Tuesday centered around learning theory. After creating my lesson plans for both Word and Excel, I believe that my Microsoft Word lesson falls in line with the Transformative Uses theory. My lesson had centered around conducting internet research and applying the data to an economic principle. In doing so, students were engaged in higher level thinking skills by adapting their technology skills to a task but taking it one step further to explain their reasoning for choosing a vehicle for various uses.
