Reflection

I loved the Things about Flikr, TeacherPop, and Animoto. Since I now know how to technology more effectively it will defiantly help me in my teaching career. With this project my list of user names and passwords about tripled but I can use the majority of them with my kids. With all of the tips and programs that I learned about I can certainly be able to teach my students more efficiently. I really hope to continue to use this blog in the future. I must admit I have a problem starting something but not finishing it but I have a good feeling that wont happen this time. :D

I thought the 'Fair(y) Use Tail' was entertaining to watch. I thought that creative commons was a very usefull tool. I found it kind of hard to follow though. I found that the 23 things was someone elses work at:

I had heard of podcasts afew times but I never really knew what they were. I seen the link to them on itunes I just never clicked on it until now. I thought the Educational Podcast Directory would be really useful since it is teacher working together to help each other improve thier teaching strategies. I think podcasts are a great idea. When i become a teacher I want to make my own website and I have a page dedicated to when my kids miss days. I can create podcasts to explain to them and thier parents what they missed with a slidshow giving them a visual.

Thing # 21 Pt 2

Thing # 21 Pt1

While I wan uploading my pictures the upload server went down so that made this even longer since I had to upload each picture separately. I finally got it to work. I made an Animoto of my nieces Madison and Mykyla. This was pretty cool. I could have my students make a show about a subject that we are studying or about their family. I was able to get the Animoto onto my blog I just couldnt get it onto this specific blog so just look up to see mine.

Thing # 20

I have been on YouTube before. I have never uploaded anything to it but I have watched videos from it. This is the video that I found on YouTube. It is "Teachers Rap about Teaching High School". I thought it was funny. I wouldn't use YouTube in my classroom since there are many videos that are not school appropriate but I would show them a video from it for a lesson.

Thing # 19

I joined TeacherPop. I have never been apart of a website that requires administrative approval for joining so now I am waiting to be approved. I tried to browse other people's pages and I found Professor Wall's page. I found the best thing on it......101 Scholarships Just for Teachers. I was looking at that the rest of the night so maybe I will get my approval by the morning.

I got my approval. I love the site, I am just not a big fan of the fact that when you add something it has to be approved. So I still dont have a picture but I was able to get the bage onto my blog
