As I read through chapter in our books i found much of it to be quite interesting. The chapter was about using the internet and different distance learning tools. Some of these tools are student research and web based assignments. Some of the negative aspects of using these methods are the threats bresented by things such as Inappropriate Materials,
privacy and safety, and fraud. the chapter also covered different things to deal with the web such as search engines and how to judge the quality and integredy of the sights being evaluated. this information will help me as i try to continue integrating technology into my classroom experiances.

This video I found on teacher is great. It is an Introduction to either and American lit section or an American Lit course its self. This is great to me for several reasons. First of all, i have been struggeling to find a was to bri ng technology into the classroom and this seems like an amazing way to do it. Not only would showing this video be a great intro to the course but it brings a technological aspect that the students will be acostomed to and find interesting. The other thing that I thought highly about this production is the quality in which it was put together. It felt as if i was wathing a movie trailer for american lit movie. It almost had a dramatic aspect to it that really jumped out at me. I would love it if one of my teachers showed me this before a class and I would love to create something like it for a class of my own one day.
