Reflection #2

In class we learned about Google and the many resources it provides. I thought I knew the majority of the things Google offered, but realized I was wrong. I know how ti use the e0mail, calendar, and Google docs. All of which i find extremely useful. I did not know about iGoogle and was able to explore it a little more outside of class, and it is something I plan on using from now on.
As a teacher, I plan on using Google docs for my personal use, but also with my students. I think it is a great way to do group work. The calendar is something else I will inform my students about. I use it and love it because it reminds me daily of the things I have going on. It will be helpful for me as a teacher, and for my students as well.

I found the video to be very uplifting. Rene has obviously had a rough life, but her attitude is one we can all learn from. She has a passion and it is something that she is pursuing. Though she knows she is not in the ideal situation with her mom, she knows that she can make the best of it. I could be better at this. I need to be more positive in approaching situations and make the outcome the best I can. This is also something I want to teach my students. It is an important lesson in life, and one that can make life more enjoyable as well.
