dietze@csp.edu Employer: Hastings School District #200, Hastings High School. Position: Industrial Technology Teacher. I currently teach Mechanical Drafting, Architectural Drafting, Engineering Drafting, and Basic Metals, next year I will also be teaching Machine Woods. Education: A.A. Degree - Anoka Ramsey Community College
B.S. Degree (Technology Education) - Saint Cloud State University
M.A. Degree (Classroom Instruction in progress) - Concordia University St. Paul
Personal: I live in Hastings and grew up in Ham Lake, MN. I graduated from Blaine High School in 2001. I attended Anoka Ramsey Community College during and after high school. I then attended St. Cloud State University with working towards and accounting degree. I decided that accounting was not what I wanted to do for a career so with the suggesting of my family I decided to go for Technology Education (what my second choice after high school was). Now I have a Tech Ed. degree and a minor in Accounting! I really enjoyed the classes, and really enjoy my job at Hastings High School. I am excited to be learning right along side the students!

Great to have you on board. I'm interested to see how you might adapt things learned in this class to your industrial tech classes.
I love weather bug and the weather cameras you can check out. I will need to find this gadget.
WeatherBug is my favorite. I use it to keep track of super cold temps. that keep us inside for recess.
Your screencast is great! I enjoyed seeing and hearing about a program that I have never used. Nice Work!
Awesome screencast of ProE, Erik! I wish I could be one of the students in your Engineering Drafting class.
Which screencast website did you use?
Erik,
A very thoughtful reflection. I agree that teachers would greatly benefit from hands on tech training. I also enjoyed using screen cast. I think for you using them for your demos would be very useful. I bet your students who are absent will really enjoy and appreciate seeing what they missed.
Erik--I agree entirely on the screen cast thing. If a student is not certain and needs some reinforcement, they would be willing to have me teach it to them over and over again until they got it. I think i might teach the same concepts different ways. Once technical. Once basic--or simple formula like. Another time with hints/tricks. (So that the student's different learning styles can be met.) I love the screencast! I like you attitude that student will benefit for our growing! Good luck!
Your ability Erik to vision how to use technology/software to reinforce and encourage learning is refreshing. An attitude of providing opportunity for students to self-regulate and reinforce learning’s or misunderstandings will be a powerful tool in educating your students to their fullest potential. Reinforcing your face-2-face instruction with on-line tutorials is a powerful habit of mind to building investigation and self-help skills. Best wishes as you build a collection of demonstration resources.
You've made an excellent point, Erik, in your reflection of how people tend to stay away from technology they have not yet understood how to use. Hands-on training that is also personalized is undoubtably one of the best way to enhance technology use in our classrooms!
Hands on is the work Todd I am on the same page as you. If teachers and students alike had time to work with the tech, they would be more likely to use it in their classroom.
Your screencasts are a wonderful complement to your face-to-face classroom instruction Erik. A wise reinforcement strategy for acquiring industry technical efficiencies and CAD applications.
