Making the video was really fun with the remix and adding the music and was really easy to use but I still don't know if the video is on the blog because that is where I was really having a problem. I could not find a special code to put it on here so I tried cut and past. Hope it works!!! It really is cute.

Finally Done!!!!

I have really enjoyed these things because I have found so many useful tools that will help in all aspects of teaching and also at home for personal reasons. There are many ways to spice up lessons and activities for students and make the lessons not only educational but fun. I really think that these things and learning how to use them will be very helpful in years to come when planning lessons and I am signed up with many of the sites and will be receiving updates when available. There were several out-comes that suprised me that I could really do that with the logos.

I could use creative commons and as future teacher to re-work objects or activites to create activites for my students. Updating different things every year to spice up the lesson or making I better keeps a students interest and a way to imporve the teaching methods I may use.

Thing #21

I looked at Tracy B's first garde podcast, i foud that the podcast wiki program off the content was easier to use, and closer to my content on 3rd grade. This thing has inspired me to create a podcast for my students to see how they would learn in this point of learning. I didn't really find anything interesting for me to subscribe to and listen to regularly.

Thing #20

I like everything about You tube. The video that i choose to look at was "We ODon't Need No Education" by Pink Flyod. I liked this one because it is a good attention grabber in a lesson. I did dind that using this kind of site is helpful to attract people to the library website, and help them achieve more.

I am a member of some online communities. These soical networks are some what appealing to me. Some of the other networks are not appealing to me. I found the food section, and the education section interesting to me, and i would use them later on in life.

http://www.myspace.com/blondbitch69 (my url was made bey a friend without my permission and i cant figure out how to change it)
It is important for a teacher to know how to use social networking like myspace or facebook beacuse these sites are a direct reflection of students, and to see how they really think, and to know their interests.It is also important that we know how to use these site, so we can keep in touch of other teachers as well. I gained the insites of how to navigate them, and to me using these sites help me keep up with my friends from middle and high school. I really like these types of sites because they allow you to meet people like you and just keep up with you friends and family. I think to myself and believe that the picture area is one of the most important pictures because it shows people who you really are. I don't really see a classroom using these kinds of sites. These sites are more less used to communicate with friends, and not school work or activities.

Thing #16

I chose the google home page because of how simple that it is to add widgets and things that appeals to my interest and likes especially the funny cat photos and that you can change it any time with no extra hassel. I will probably make it my home page eventually.

On line calenders will be very helpful to me because I can add alerts and reminders on certian dates and everytime I am online it will remind me of my schedule for that day.

I really like the to-do list because to me it will help me organize my day and remind me when I have things that need to be done, pay bills, dr. appointments, etc...

I found several tools that are useful at home and school. Some of those including calender, to-do list and for me the maps. In the school setting the calender, to-do list and upcoming events and news channels

I would reccomend the calender, to-do list and the funny cat pictures to brighten a persons day to others.

Thing #17

I thought that this tool was interesting and un to lay with. It gives teachers new ways to organize data in the schools. I can see the potential of this activity inside the classrooms and teachers using them. I also can see that it is an easy access to create bookmarks o access from anywhere. Teachers can take advantage to the bookmarking by marking thing on the internet that can be used in the class, and it would go to that site easier instead of searching through all sorts of sites for it again.

Thing #15

I would use wiki for some research, and explaning to my students that wiki isn't a scholarable source to use for research, because anybody can get on it and change, edit, or place false information. I just find if really ineresting that people can play on it, and just messed up that most people that place false information and that to me just messes up a childs research.

Thing #14

While playing with the two different charts, i found out that i like the gliffy site better. Both have some of the same characteristics, but things like the floor plan, images, and choosing the pattern on gliffy, i just seem to like better.

Thing #13

Zoho writer has alot of neat characteristics. The actual organization of the document is exactly like microsoft word, but has thing connected to the internet. It has objects like publish, and export. This makes the steps of emailing a document to yourself from one computer to another. It was awesome to play along with.
