most important thing is to make sure that the website you are getting
your information from is credible. Another thing….”what goes on the web
stays on the web”, all students need to respond appropriately to things.
Once something is in cyber space you can’t take it back. Lastly, cyber
bullying has become a serious issue with growing technology; I would
like to see a class during the beginning of the year explaining the
dangers of it just as we do with hazing and domestic violence. I also
think that the parents would benefit from a course as well with emphasis
on warning signs to look out for in the event their child is a victim.</span>Gru (Rochelle Abrams)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06649378078715131080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031307518913290270.post-22974978012708625212012-03-23T06:38:00.001-07:002012-03-23T06:38:40.176-07:00tool #9 Incorporating classroom-based devices as tools for learning.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">select Heat
Index and WunderMap. These two apps are perfect for helping athletic
training students actively monitor the weather while making the direct
correlation of how it relates to outdoor sports and heat related
illness. We would perform mock stations using iPad2’s and net books. We
would have four stations (recognizing signs and symptoms of heat
related illness, preventing heat related illness, SBISD HEAT Policy
Guidelines and Weather Monitoring) Each station would have a
accountability list on what has to be performed. Once these skills are
mastered in a mock session we would then take them to an official
outdoor sports practice utilizing the skills they learned in the mock
session. This project would be repeated several times in the fall during
the critical days of heat and repeated in the spring when the cold
policies would likely be implemented.</span></div>

possibilities are endless when it comes to using these devices from
instruction. They can be used to track injury trends, prevention,
documenting cases of infectious disease such as MRSA. The iPad2’s also
have camera’s so pictures could be taking of an injury to record
progression or regression.</span></div>Gru (Rochelle Abrams)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06649378078715131080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031307518913290270.post-8894634046752726232012-03-23T06:35:00.002-07:002012-03-23T06:35:44.146-07:00Tool #8 Taking a look at the tools!<br />

The
expectations will be set high from day one. With technology comes high
responsibility so having the students log into the devices with their
id's would be good. I believe having a check list that must be
completed before the end of class will also help the students stay on
task. Finally, just plain old school active monitoring will suffice. The
students are really excited that technology is being added more and
more to lessons. They also love that they are given leadership roles
with this technology .....like allowing them to teach a portion of the
lesson integrating the new technology skills they have just obtained.</div>Gru (Rochelle Abrams)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06649378078715131080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031307518913290270.post-76964929041631526592012-03-23T06:33:00.002-07:002012-03-23T06:33:17.865-07:00Tool #7 Going Global: Online Digital Projects! I believe that SKYPE could be used for a number of projects that we
currently are doing in the classroom. With Skype on an IPad 2, we
can research athletic training programs, interview supervising athletic
trainers and share ideas.<br />
One of our big research projects covers facility construction and
design. Our students will be able to construct a functional training
room, for example, drawing inspiration form a number facilities all over
the country. We would be able to virtually tour athletic training
facilities and simulatiously ask questions to the resident athletic
trainer of that particular venue.Gru (Rochelle Abrams)http://www.blogger.com/profile/06649378078715131080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031307518913290270.post-72375716300929425492012-03-23T06:32:00.003-07:002012-04-04T09:39:52.636-07:00Tool #6 Using Web tools to promote discussion in and out of the classroom.Found 2 tools that allow instant feedback from students.

or department. How can you incorporate Google Apps as a tool in your
classroom? Which tools are you excited about using with students?<br /><br />
I took this opportunity to use google docs to send a copy of the
purchasing requistion to a person in my team. This was so convienent. It
is great that I can used this to send forms between the members of my
team. I have tried Google docs doing a research assigment and it worked
great. I am glad that I can see when the students submit or even edit
the information. I like google docs and I like drop box...I am not sure
which one I like the most. I really enjoy that I can place important
documents in a central location that my students as well as my collegues
