Is It the End or Only the Beginning?

I most say I am realy glad this is over!! I have learned alot and found websites that I love!!!! My favorite activity was thing 21. I really enjoy creating a slideshow. I think I am going to invest the money to create longer slideshows!! I have learned there are many website out there to help me with my learning and my students. I found websites that I never thought exsited until now. The only thing I would change is make the signing up for so many websites. I have so many passwords i can't keep up with. Overall I loved the adventure of my journey!

Thing #23 Creative Commons

 

Creative Commons is awesome! What creative commons does is protect the author and the person who wants to share or use their work. I did not realize how much file share is being done. There is a lot of it going around and the person not getting the credit for it. The attribution should be found in the credits. As teachers we should teach this to our student of how to properly give credit to the person who created the work.

Thing #22 Keepin' it Together: Livebinders

I thought this website was pretty awesome!!! I always placed my favorite websites on my favorites list on the computer. I could use this in my classroom with the students. The students can use it to while doing reasearch papers. THey can keep a journal of the websites they use and then turn them in to me. This is pretty awesome!!!

Thing #21 Animoto

I love this website!! Who knew you could create a video. I took my pictures from Halloween of my son and created a video. This would be great in a classroom setting. I could create a video of the kids or projects. I could do so much!! I think I am going to create another video to give to grandparents!!! I tried to find a Halloween background but couldn't oh well. I love this website!



Make your own slide show at Animoto.

Thing # 20 You, Too, Can YouTube

I love youtube!! I use youtube all the time to listen to music, look up education stuff. This website can benefit a student if they use it correctly. I used you tube last semester for education 2100. You can just type in what you are looking for and it will find it for you!! I love this website!!!

Thing #19 Beyond Facebook: Other Social Networks

TeacherPop I added a picture of me and my family and left a comment on here. I found this website to ideal for teacher blogging. I think this website is alot more appropriate than facebook when it comes to have friends when you a teacher. I a member of facebook and twitter. I really like this website a lot better!

I also like the cooking blog The Tasty Chef!!! I love to try new things with cooking since I am a wife and have a son. I like to experiment with new foods! I love this thing!! I find more and more out every time I get to a new thing!

Thing # 18 Explore Social Networking

Facebook is very important for teachers to know about the social networking. They can keep up to date of whats going on with their students and other events going on. They can tell if one of their students is having a difficult time and could talk to them but now most schools will not allow them to be friends with their students. They could always be friends with other teachers. I found facebook to be more friendlier to use than Twitter. I found twitter hard to opperate. I am against twitter and do not wish to use it again. I found facebook to have the most useful features than twitter. I would say you could use it to a certain extent in classroom but that is it.
