Thing #9

This section was not as interesting to me... Blogs are more than just posting information.... I can only imagine how much time these people spend gathering information for their Blogs...

Thing #8

What a fabulous way to be able to get information. The Web is so large and can be overwhelming causing information to be lost- just too much.... Refining the information for you is wonderful. The blogs and subscriptions are educational so this will help keep me updated on latest information. Having this information right there helps cut out some of the search time.

Thing #7

I had no idea that Google had so many tools... I have asked to be alerted on educational items... I have used Google Earth with students.... They are amazed to see where they live and how it looks from that perspective....

Thing #6

The site was moving very slow.... What I wanted to create was a mosiac of pictures from our Raffle... With the many different things that happen on our campus, this is a great tool for everyone to see all the pictures.... I also created a movie from the pictures.... This is a great way for kids to use a digital camera and then put it into motion.... I see this being used in our broadcast.... I am still trying to figure out how to add sound to the movie...

Thing #5

Wow what wonderful pictures..... I shared the link with my Kindergarten team.... Earlier they were emailing each other about wanting pictures for a unit they were teaching.... I also saw some pictures that I can use with my breakfast reading group.... The boys will love seeing the mummies....

Thing #3

Oh my goodness.... It took me about 30 minutes to get this going.... A bit frustrating as I wanted to get some other things done this evening.... I was determined to get this up and going.... I don't do well with remembering so many different email addresses and passwords... That was stressful for me! I wanted to talk to Vaughn today, but there was no time! Now that I have this part done, I hope over Spring Break I can get a better understanding of what is available so I can support student learning....

Thing #2

My goal is to learn how to podcast.... I am currently working with a group of boys reading Goosebump books.... I want to be able to show them how to create a magazine cover, bumper sticker or for them to podcast about their reading.... What is hard for me is not having the time to play and figure out how to do all this fun stuff....
