Getting started...

This class is going to be about integrating technology into your teaching. We hope that once you are finished with this class that you will leave with all sorts of wonderful ideas on how technology (not just the computer but technology) can be used as another tool in your classroom, both by yourself and by your students.

Given that the piece of technology that we will be focusing on the most in this class is the computer, we should learn a little more about some of the dangers to your own computers.

Read the article "Your PC May Be Less Secure Than You Think." Discuss one thing that you learned from the article and one thing that surprised you. Note that discuss means "to examine or consider (a subject) in speech or writing," and not simply to list or state.

In addition to your own post, please reply to at least one other student. You reply should be more than simply telling that student that you agree or disagree with them. Your reply should either substantially build upon what the other person has already said or refute what they have said using evidence of you own.

If you come across a blog where someone has already responded to the person's initial post, try someone else's. This way we don't end up with 5 or 6 responses to one person's blog and no responses of 3 or 4 students' blogs at all.
