These activities use technology to customize and enhance the program to fit the needs of my students.


 * Part II.- Blogs**

8. Blog (Your URL with a link to it here) http://twcarp.edublogs.org/ "Counseling Matters"

9. Describe how you could use a teacher blog to engage students in this lesson or unit. Explain how you could manage student blogs and how you might involve others in providing feedback for your students on their writing. I haven't fully developed this blog yet. I had some trouble understanding how to get it set up. I will continue to work on it after the workshop has ended. I do see it as a great way to post information and get feedback from my students. Also they could respond to information that I post for them to read.


 * Part III. -** **RSS/Social Bookmarking**

10. List some of the URL’s that you found that will be helpful for either teacher preparation or student research for this unit. Keep a record of where you have included your bookmarks or subscribed to your RSS feeds.

 * Part IV. - Wikis**

11. How might you use a wiki to enhance this unit or how could you have your students contribute to another wiki site to share their knowledge of content you are studying with the global learning community?

http://conflictresolutions.wikispaces.com/- will use my wiki to involve the students in problem solving. Each week, I plan to post a conflict letter for them to solve. They can work together or individually. Either way the Wiki will help them collaborate with each other and learn from each other in order to develop better skills for resolv ing conflict. I would monitor the responses and work with each girl to make sure they are on tract and appropriate. I would use a projector to share the final product with the group.


 * Part V.** **Podcasting/Streaming**

12. Share the titles and links to podcasts and/or videos that you found related to your lesson topic. How do you plan to integrate them? How might you create a podcast or video with students to enhance this unit?

-[]- I would have the girls in my group listen to this voicethread and comment on their thoughts about the analogy of their lives and the spring bulbs. Then we could take a stroll through the Memory Garden and have them record their thoughts in their journals. Finally, they could create a personal voicethread about their hopes for a drug-free, successful future.
