Chapter 6

Chapter 6 discusses "Fostering Online Learning w/ Educational Websites & Apps." The chapter starts off with a student teacher discovering the internet. I found this particular section very useful because it gave information on how the internet can be a key to your success as a teacher. There are plenty of web based programs that assist with teaching students.


Information management is another important subject in Chapter 6. Information  management is used to describe how organizations and systems keep track of data for making decisions and setting policies. With teaching, it used to provide digital resources to help a student's learning. Information management is important because with teaching, you need to be able to share information with the student and vice-versa. Digital resources are an easier way to keep information up to date. Some textbooks were printed years ago and the information can end up being inaccurate. It's a lot easier to use digital resources because you can easily change the information to make it correct.
Bookmarking and Cloud computing for teachers was another important section. Bookmarking helps you better locate a website that you use often. It electronically marks different pages and saves them with just one simple command. Cloud computing is slowly taking book marking's place. Now, we have something called "the cloud", which is stored on the web for the teacher to access his/her material, anywhere.

  1. Great cartoon! :) Remember that you want to reflect on what you learned from the chapter and not just summarize the information. So now that you read about social bookmarking/cloud computing, how might you use it as a teacher? What kind of impact does it have on students and/or learning/thinking, etc?
