Module 1

My name is Priscilla Curran and I am a languages (I currently teach French) and Religion teacher. I decided to do the Web2.0 course so that I could keep up to date with the latest technologies and see how I could use them in my classroom on a more regular basis. I have found, especially with the teaching of languages, that technology is the best way to keep the students motivated and interested. In Module 1, I enjoyed setting up my igoogle account and adding gadgets to the page. I can now easily the view the weather in Paris each time I sign in and the currency converter will be useful as well! I also found the link to the 20 most useful Web 2.0 tools interesting. I am looking forward to completing the next modules and seeing how I can best use this technology in the classroom.
