====Welcome to my Wiki! I have created this Wiki for my Instructional Technology class at UW-Oshkosh in which I am learning how to integrate technology into my future classroom. ==== ==== I am a junior at UW-Oshkosh and will be certified in Elementary and ESL Education at the completion of my program in May 2013. Many of the materials on this Wiki will relate to these content areas. Please feel free to browse around and use any of the materials from this site--just make sure you cite everything properly! :) ====

====Part of the reason this class is creating Wiki's is to stress how useful WIki's can be in an elementary or secondary classroom setting. Here are links to different articles that explain the benefits of using Wiki's in class: ====

====This Wiki will present the Lesson plan I have titled //Traveling the World//. It is loosely based off of the lesson plan //Creating a Multimedia Journey// which I found at Education World. Here is a direct link to the original lesson plan: @http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/techlp/techlp062.shtml ==== ==== My modified lesson differs in that it is technology rich--there are several different types of technology integrated into this lesson that were not originally present. Adding more technology is beneficial because it heightens student interest, it introduces them to important technology they can use for other classes, and it helps meet national standards for the amount of technology used in the classroom. ====
