Week 9 Thing #23

YEAH! I finally made it to Thing #23. I really enjoyed this Classroom 2.0 experience, I can't wait to use some of these resources in my classroom. I had NO idea there were so many neat resources out on the internet. This class forced me to delve into sites I would have never even looked at on my own. My favorites were Flickr, image generator, Del.icio.us, library thing, and podcasts.

Overall, Classroom 2.0 was an AWESOME experience!!!!!

Week 9 Thing #22

I am more familiar with Audio books than e-books. Audio books are a great motivational tool to get our students interested in reading or a specific series.

Week 9 Thing #21

I found a lot of interesting educational podcasts while searching the internet. I have an account with ITUNES, so I spent sometime viewing the video podcasts and listening to the audio podcasts.

Week 9 Thing #20

I spent some time on YouTube, but was not impressed with the educational videos. However, I did register for TeacherTube and found some neat videos.

Week 8 Thing #19

I created my account with Library Thing and added some math books to my library. This is a great tool to share with others and to keep up with your inventory of books.

Week 8 Thing #18

I signed up for Zoho Writer and can see where this could be a VERY useful tool. There are times when I work on documents at home, then email it to my school account, revise, and then resave it on my P-drive. Zoho Writer could really save time and it is user-friendly. Yeah!

Week 7 Thing #17

I enjoyed seeing how others utilize wikis. I found a neat math wiki called smart board resources which offers some helpful websites I can use in my fourth grade classroom.
