whoops forgot #19.

I am already a member of facebook. I am also a member of twitter. I never get on it though. I created it for this class. Maybe Ill use it in the future. I think teacher pop and ning are pretty cool sites for teachers. It allows teachers to form a social community were they can collaberate or just talk. I think it is very interesting that the site must approve a video or member before it allows it to be posted. I will probably use teacher pop in the future because it is most like facebook.

  From this site and many others, I now know that 23 things has been around awhile and wasnt made up just for this class, but it is a blogg page the was created to help all teacher become familiar with Web 2.0 to benefit them and their students.

  Know that I know about the creative commons license, I will know what I can use for my classroom. This will allow me to give credit to the source that deserves it. I will also be able to show my students what they can and cannot use for a credited source. Creative commons has also taught me not to copy and paste so carelessly so that I dont take credit off of someones work that didnt initially give permission to the public.

The end is near. last part of 23 things

This project has not been anything like I thought. At first, I was afraid it would be a lot of time consuming projects that I would only use for this class and never use again, but many of the programs that I used are great and easy to use. Some of my favorites were the homepage setup, livefolder, and animoto. These are very simple to set up and I can see using them the most. This has helped my learning because it has taught me more about technology programs. I know can use these programs in my classroom and reap the benefits of educational technology.

I guess this is how I am supposed to post my live binder to my blogg. The names of the three binders I created were effective classroom management, fun and educational learning, and preparing students for test. Livebinder is really helpful. If I find a website that I think is interesting I can save it to my binder instead filling up my favorites list. I can also add as many websites to a folder as I want. This makes me feel organized. This is good for students because a teacher can place all the websites of a topic in a folder and make it public for students to read. This can help on addition school help and providing sites for projects.

thing #21

This website is amazing. If I had some good pictures to upload I would have, but I just used the pictures from the sites. All you have to do is pick the pictures and the music, and the website does the rest for you. You dont even have to be on the site for it to make it. The video is really good too. If I would have created it would have looked like a cheap slideshow presentation. This can be used to make presentations in class and for special events.

Thing #20

Youtube is a great website. I wish I had more free time to use it. You can gain so much knowledge and learn to physically do things with youtube. I use you tube to listen to music, learn how to play music, I used it to carve a decoy duck, I used it you work out, I use it to humor myself, and best of all I use it to kill time. One of the most beneficial things about youtube is you can actually use it for school. If I dont know how to do a math problem or dont know what button to click on powerpoint, youtube usually always has a video to help me. This is a great site for visual learners.

Thing # 18

Social networking is important to know because it is the new way of communication these days. Teachers can easily connect with students in blogs to post assignments, homework, and additional help. One main reason teachers need to be aware of social networking is because some features like facebook allows people to view in on you personal life, so be careful what you post. I like facebook alot more that twitter. The only reason I have a twitter is because I had to create one for this class. Facebook is good for looking up old friends and it is also good for stalking people. haha just kidding. Facebook has more useful features. I think it is easier to use and you can connect with friends and play online games through facebook.
