I have enjoyed this training very much. It has been a challenge in some tools but in the end it has been a very enriching experience. I feel that now I am eager to learn more about technology not only because that is real life and real ways to learn but also because I believe that my students will benefit with the use of different technology tools in my classroom.
My favorite tool is the image generators and mashups. I love Animoto and photo story 3. I would like to create a video of our new building to show the most important people and most important places we will go,as well as basic procedures and rules that take place at the beginning of the year.
I also enjoyed digital story telling and mobile technology and apps. I would like to buy new 4g technology IPhone right now. When I was exploring mobile technology and the apps I felt like if I were part of the Flinstone family! However, I feel that now I can go to a phone store and understand better what they are talking about and choose the best option.

Tool # 11: Didital Citizenship
The use of the Internet in the classrooms is unavoidable. It is imperative that we as teachers and adult watch over what our children are doing when accessing the Internet. what I would like my 1st grade students to understand about being a good citizen are basic points:
1. I will expose them to some products that you can get using the Internet such as the products that we create in our blog. I will introduce them to technology terms but in a very simple visual way.
2. I will teach them about safety: I will teach them that not every thing is appropriate and not everything is true. I will teach them that when they found something that they think or feel is not "good", stop and tell to an adult (teacher or parent)immediately. I will connect the children training about strangers with strangers online and how you should not share personal information with anybody.
3. I will make sure to teach them basics about what would be appropriate conduct when they communicate with other people. I would model for them appropriate etiquette and show many examples and I will also show some examples of not appropriate ways to communicate and ask them to think why my last examples are not correct ways to be good digital citizen.
