C4T #1
I first read Steven Anderson's post that talked about new teachers deciding the best applications and programs they should use. He tells about how the first year can be very overwhelming, and new teachers should focus on how to use one or two new tools until they get used to them and master them before adding on more. I commented on his post agreeing that I think it can be easy to fall into the trap of trying to do everything your first year. I explained how I believed that it doesn't help the students if we know a little bit about a variety of tools and programs. We wouldn't be able to teach them how to fully understand the tools if we didn't fully understand them first.

The second post of Steven Anderson's that I commented on was about a site called Dimensions. This site takes important events in history and current events and shows how big they are over a given area on a Google Map. The picture above is an example he posted on his blog of how Dimensions works. I commented on this post about how I thought it was a great way to show students a different perspective on just how big or small an event can be. It's good for the students to see how many people can be affected by different events.
