Thing 7

Well, as my little workshop has come to an end I have enjoyed this introduction to so many things on Web 2.0. A few of my favorite things that I discovered were how easy it is blog, how quick you can add a video to your blog and how easy a wiki space (I think) will be for my kiddos.

As for me continuing this learning journey....

I would love to learn more about the kid blog. I figured there was something out there like this, but I just hadn't looked far enough apparently. I would love to do this, but I'm sure with today's world there are probably stipulations and forms parents will have to fill out prior to using it. I would love to find out more about it though because I feel like it could be a great tool for those kiddos needing more of a challenge.

Ahhhhh!!! I just learned more about Xtranormal and OH  MY GOODNESS!!!! This is ah-mazing! I just go soooo excited really! When I clicked on create it gives you examples and wow... so many ways I could use this. With it being election year I will have our own election in our classroom to run for president. I could even allow the presidents to come up with a short clip to be able to show other teachers, administrators and classes to help us vote! Ai yi yi! I am such the giddy teacher right now. Ridiculous!...............Well the cheap o teacher in me just got shot down as I was going to make a quick one to see what it was like... as soon as I saw the $ I was turned away. Maybe it won't be too expensive, but with as much money as I've spent on 306 so far... I'm going to have to step away for now.

Lastly, 2 other sites I believe I will look into further/use this year are wordle and flashcard exchange.

I am so happy that I took this course as I was educated on some things on the web that will benefit me and my classroom this year. I am rather excited!
