Hmmmm… this one didn’t impress me a whole lot. I feel a little guilty saying this because I love to read and I love books but I don’t know really how I would use this. The best thing that I saw on the site was the Early Reviewers Books where you can sign up and [...]
I was already somewhat familiar with Del.icio.us but I haven’t used it much. This made me jump back in! I started collecting sites for novels that I teach and found a wealth of info. I still have a lot of searching and reading to do. My biggest issue is that I see something that I [...]
The RSS feed that I have enjoyed the most has been Grammar Grater. It is quick, easy and almost like a “thought for the day/week” with grammar. It isn’t something that I would use with my students all of the time but again, has some thoughtful topics to make the students think about right and [...]
This was another fun exercise to explore and of course I didn’t have time to do as many as I wanted to do. I tried Ta-Da List and it was pretty good but after doing some of the other stuff it was a little flat on the pizazz. However, I am a list [...]
This just cracked me up! I went to the K12OnlineConference site and did Classroom 2.0, Putting the Pedagogy Into the Tools. It is great and showed me a LOT of interesting tools that are quick and easy (as the author said that they would be). There is even a talking cat (or [...]
This was cool. I really wish that I had time to explore all of these and I really want to come back to them some time. I told a very short story of Where the Red Fern Grows. See my wiki for the exciting (ha) show. I am really enjoying doing all of this but [...]
I decided to download pictures referring to the novel Where the Red Fern Grows because this is summer reading for our rising 6th graders. I didn’t have any trouble uploading the pictures into my wiki. There were only a few pictures that would not upload but I found alternatives. This picture of [...]
I’m very new to Creative Commons. I can honestly say that I’ve never noticed the CC logo on websites but now I’ll be looking for it. I know that I, like my students, and guilty of using images in my work that I did not create. I honestly had the mentality that [...]
I think that Wikipedia is mind boggling! It really is a phenomenal tool. I do see it as a valid source for students (but not the only source!). I think that most of the content is well written and sound. I can see where some may argue about the information possibly [...]
Just as I was with blogs, I’m a little unsure of working with wikis. However, I really enjoy the blog now so maybe the wiki will come easily as well. I did enjoy looking at what other people had done. These are three that I enjoyed the most and of course they [...]
