This particular article was a little on the negative side of how technology is used in school. There several hints to show that she was excited and ready for her new computers to come into the classroom. But as you read along into the article she goes on to talk about the many negative points that these new computers caused her as a teacher. One negative aspect was the fact that she felt disconnected from the class because she spent so much more time in front of her computer instead of interacting with her students. She goes on to talk about how less time was spent teaching and more time in front of her computer screen. Another factor was when Finally, Heller believe that her role in the classroom had changed dramatically from a teacher to a computer monitor. She found herself having to monitor all her students on their computers, checking on whether they were doing what they were supposed to do or chatting and emailing their friends. This article gives us a different point of view on new technology. Rather than having technology has a tool in teaching she complained that it was more of a disturbance or burden to her teaching. It is interesting to read about this particular teachers feelings towards new computers.
1. My first question is can this teacher figure out a way to manage her time both teaching and computer usage?
I believe that with dedication and hard work this is very possible. In the article she complains about time being taken away from teaching and more in front of the computer. Well for me I think this is something that can be solved by good time management. Use your time wisely in the classroom and use it teaching and interacting with the students. So this gives you the opportunity after school and during lunch to go in front of the computer.
2. The next question is she talks about how there are already computer administrators monitoring the students so is it her job as a teacher to monitor them as well? I think that she can mildly monitor her students by walking by and make sure they are doing what they are supposed to be instead of chatting online or emailing others. So by doing this it does not burden as becoming a computer monitor, knowing that there are computer administrators on the job.

Using web based applications in the classroom can be fun and be a great way to teach students in this new age of technology. The fact that students can work together and collaborate on several types of web based application is an awesome way for them to interact and socialize with one another. Now knowing that there are many web based applications online that are free gives us the freedom to use these tools to our discretion. Blogging, social book marking, and photo sharing are some of the new web based applications that teachers have access to online. I believe these new tools can help students become creative, interactive and collaborative in the classroom.
Blogging can be a very important tool in a classroom. Especially in a science class to record what happens in a monthly or weekly basis can be crucial in many experiments. Blogging can make the students aware of other student’s progress and it also gives them a way to share information with one another. By interacting and collaborating with other students it creates a social network and a fun way to learn from your peers.
How could I see my self using these web based applications in my future classroom?
I would love to introduce these new web based applications in my classroom. Especially having blogs on a daily or weekly basis, because it gives the students an opportunity to interact with another and work together to complete their assignments and it is also fun. Sharing photos online can also be a great way for them to visually see each others photos, and to how they use photos in their homework, reports and presentations.
How can we use these technologies be entered in the classroom without costs?
One way is to probably go into the computer lab once a week to use the computers. The majority of the web based applications are available online for free. So this is a new technology that costs the schools nothing and is very effective.

Intro Letter Jonathan Sandoval
Hello my name is Jonathan Sandoval, I was born in Yokosuka, Japan but I am not Japanese. Both my parents are originally from the Philippines, which makes me Filipino. My father was in the U.S. Navy and was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan when I was born. When I was 4 we moved to San Diego, Ca where I have been since. I grew up in South San Diego until 4th grade. From 4th grade until High School I grew up in Rancho Penasquitos in San Diego. I graduated from Mount Carmel High School in Penasquitos and then graduated from SDSU with my BA in Graphic Design.
I have a pretty thorough overview of technology and have a lot of experience with working with technology. After I graduated from college I was a graphic and web designer for 5 years and still free lance every now and then. In the graphic design industry Mac is the computer of choice so I am basically a Mac person, but I do use a PC as well. I depend on technology every day. When I get up in the morning I usually check my email and constantly check it throughout the day. I am using the 2008 Microsoft Word edition. I also know how to use older versions of Microsoft Word.
A commitment to diversity and educational equity is what spoke out to me mostly in the mission statement. I believe that this is important in obtaining a teacher's credential because the world that we live in is very diverse. Especially, if you are looking to teach in Southern California we have a large population of Hispanic, Asian and other ethnicities. Providing equal education to all students is also important in that I believe all students no matter their intelligence deserves an education.
