Week 9 -- Thing 23

Lifetime Learning -- This has been a great experience. I feel so good to have completed the program, but I am also glad that I will use the things that I have learned. This has not only benefited me, but will also benefit my students. I think overall the most useful thing that I learned was to use the web as a tool. I think that the blog will be very useful in my classroom and that all of the other tools we explored can be used through that format. Thanks so much for getting me started on this adventure of life long learning.

Week 9 -- Thing 22

eBooks and Audio eBooks -- I really like the Gutenberg Project and I love audio eBooks. This is a great way to get students to realize the world that is beyond their front door. I think that this can cause the students to begin to desire more in their lives and therefore help them to become more successful students and adults.

Week 9 -- Thing 21

Podcasts -- I enjoyed the podcasts. I found a few that are math related. It is so good to be able to get a new prespective on how to make this subject interesting to students. I think that podcasts can be very beneficial.

Week 9 -- Thing 20

I love youtube! It is sooo much fun. I think it must be one of the most popular sites of all times. You can find anything there. Here is a video that I found and thought that it would be very inspirational for my students. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuOyBFEAylU

Week 8 -- Thing 19

Every time I discover a new site, I think that I've seen it all. Yet here is another great place -- LibraryThing. I loved it. As a teacher, this will be a great tool to use for a class or school blog. I love this place.

Week 8 -- Thing 18

The Zoho Word processor is very nice. I really like the different options it has over the standard word processors that I generally use. The fact that you can use it from any computer and that it is compatiable to more users is very attractive. It was also very user friendly.

Week 7 -- Thing 17

I checked out the California cl2.0 website and put an entry in the sandbox. I did not really get a lot from the site. Maybe I was not looking in the right places.
