One last thing

This was a fun journey.  It was very educational.  I am now comfortable with all the applications we used during this discovery exercise.  I learn better by doing, and believe me I have been doing. I have completed a few things several times, just to ensure I had it.  I am by no means an expert; but I have found and used several of this applications in my class already.  IT WAS GREAT FUN

thing #23

I used creative commons to actually create a power point lesson to inform my students about plagiarism.  I wanted to ensure my students were aware of the biggest reason for plagiarism. Poor time management.  I want to ensure my students start to develop organizational skills.

Thing #22

I did not select any names with must flourish.  My names are Spanish, Teaching and Learning and Education.  I added Teaching and Learning to this because I used it to highlight classroom management web-sites.  I plan on using my Spanish live-binder in class for further re-numeration.

 I think I would be able to integrate this tool into a unit project.  I want to have my students research a topic, write about it in the target language (Spanish) and present their research using a panel style discussion.

Thing #21

I signed up and put together an animoto video clip.It was fun.  I chose ocean views, I like to see the ocean; I just don't care for sand.  I also included some animal pictures I found interesting. The process was also easier than I thought. I am not sure when I will use this in the future; but it does make for a good option. video clip

Top Ten Classroom Management Tips

I know everyone will have to take Classroom Management.  I thought this You tube video would be something everyone might be learn from.  I think You tube maybe of some use in the classroom; but as a teacher we must have regulations and akeen eye must be key.  I attached a second video. one that I used in my class to assist my students in learning.their alphabet.
Let's Learn our ABCs

Overall not too bad an experience; a teacher would definitely have to have a clear internet/computer use policy.

Thing 19

I posted a comment and a picture on teacher pop.  I think I set up a badge.  It was slow going; I think my computer has a bug (smile).  I left a blog comment; I noticed several thing #19 posts; so I wanted to add my thoughts on the teacher pop use to theirs.  I can only say it was SLOW.  Maybe I'm getting so GOOD with technology, I am impatient?  I think about that.  Maybe I am familiar enough with technology to mess things up?  Hopefully it is the former.

Thing 18

I started a face-book account, I was uncomfortable, but I did it. I am new to social networking; and I know that people only see what you post; but I don't know if I want my friend, their friends, etc to peek into my life.  I do have several not so close friends who use face-book, so I guess I can keep up with them.  I have family members that also have face-book accounts; but I call them.  I will try to keep up with them.  I think all social networking sites are popular because technology has exploded and infiltrated our daily lives.  It is mostly unregulated; people say what ever pops into their brain.  I guess if you filter it you infringe on freedom of speech.  I think that social networking has it place; at this point how I will incorporate it into my classroom remains to be determined.  It was interesting; I would use the word discernment to describe this process.  I had to discern what to write or not write.
