Tuesday was insightful in helping me to understand more about using EndNote and SMART technology.  EndNote has so many implications for research and I have already mastered researching using the Liberty Online Library system as well as exporting articles into EndNote.  Today when our group was working, Chris was able to insert a citation into Word to place all of his EndNote articles into Word as a reference list by using a generic term such as "education".  I am the member of the group tasked with compiling the reference list, so I really appreciate him doing this.  Now at least one person's research is not provided in the reference page.
SMART technology is a great tool to use, especially when making graphic organizers.  When teaching in higher education, I now know that I can use this technology in organizing ideas and even presenting lessons with my students.  Like Dr. Dunn, I usually teach how to teach young children how to use a SMART board (but on a much more basic scale).  Seeing how it can be used in my own classroom was truly enlightening.
I really appreciate the time spent going over expectations for assignments, as this gives me peace of mind.  I need a detailed description of assignment expectations, and having an opportunity to have a conversation regarding this has been extremely comforting to me.
I am looking forward to learning about WebQuests tomorrow and working with my group again.
