Week 9 Thing #23

I made it! I can't believe I am finally done. This was an AMAZING, WORTHWHILE EXPERIENCE! I have had so much fun doing this. I can't believe so much is out there. For some reason, I just thought things appeared on the web, not that people had a hand in putting everything out there for all of us to share. I've learned about Flickr, Blogging, Podcasts, TeacherTube, ZohoWriter, AudioBooks (availability), Mashups, and numerous other things. The list is endless. The only problem I have is TIME! TIME! TIME! Fortunately, Summer is here and it's a great time to explore.

Week 9 Thing #22

E-books and Audio books-
I personally like the Audio books more than the e-books. I have my students listen to audio books all the time. They love it! It is such a great motivational tool to get them to read. I can't wait to use this site.

Week 9 Thing # 21

I found these two Podcasts to be very enjoyable. I think the students would enjoy them as well. This one is for "Classic Poetry Aloud" http://classicpoetryaloud.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
This one is for Just Vocabulary. I like that it pronounces the word, gives the part of speech, uses it in a sentence, and gives the definition.

Week 9 Thing #20

I could not access YouTube b/c AISD blocks this site. However, I enjoyed looking through the videos at TeacherTube. I found a few videos. I especially liked the "Morning Work" video. I think it is a great idea. Unfortunately, time is a big factor in preparing things like this.

Let's see if this works. http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=819a2b3dfe2730abe322

I wish there was more out there on TeacherTube.

Week 8 Thing # 19

This was great! It would be a great way to catalog my classroom library. I think the students would love to try this before they picked out a book.

Week 8 Thing # 18

Hello, from me. I am working on my Classroom 2.0 lessons. I'm almost finished. This picture was from the Kindergarten Graduation today.

I did all of this in Zoho Writer.

This was fun. It was easy, too. This would make it so much easier when students need to complete assignments. There would not be any problems with compatability. This is a great relief! I wonder if our Technology teacher knows about this. I will have to share this with her.

Week 7 Thing # 17

Okay, I was a little confused about what I was supposed to do here. I added this to the page--"Yes, I'm sure we could write "Best-sellers" this way. I wonder how much we would make by doing this. Wouldn't it be great?" but somehow, I don't think I was supposed to.

Then, I added to the Sanbox wiki. I think this is what I was supposed to do. Anyhow, sorry if I messed up the page. Oops!
