This is not the end!

I really enjoyed the animoto and the livebinders. I can see real use for these in the classroom. Actually, I can see real use in the classroom for all of the "things." The only one I find might not be as useful is Facebook. I feel this is a personal for fun thing and not a school thing. I am glad I had to take this class and complete the 23 things. I will not keep up with this blog, but I may find use for one in the future. Right now I need to focus on my school work and my family. Thanks for putting all of this information into one spot. I am sure I will be looking back over this site once I become a teacher.

Thing 23

Creative Commons is a great tool. I have to admit that before this class I never thought it was wrong to copy pictures from websites. I thought as long as you were not doing it for profit it was ok to copy. I am glad I have learned the truth. I am sure this is a topic that will continue to be studied and reviewed. It seems that it is a topic that is foreever changing.

Thing 22

Education– Language Arts


The titles of my binders are Middle School Education, Education-Language Arts, and Education- Reading. I think binders would be a great collaboration tools for educators. You could also share binders with your students and their parents. This could be useful in the classroom.

Thing 21

Animoto was really easy to use. I created a video in just a few minutes. I can see this being a very useful tool in the classroom. In my furture language arts class my students could create videos and then create a story about their pictures.

Try our video maker at Animoto.

Thing 19

TeacherPop is particularly interesting. I can see how useful this website could be for any future and current teachers. This could be an excellent place to share resources and support one another. I joined GoodReads because I love to read, and I plan on spending my summer lost in a few books. I love how it gives the reader a list books related to your likes. I can see how this site will be useful for me.

Thing 18

It is necessary for educators to understand the social networking sites because the students love these sites. I have used Facebook for quite some time. I like it to keep up with friends and family who live elsewhere. I like that with Facebook I can get text messages from certain pages I like. I do not have to log into Facebook each time to know what is going on with an organization or person. I do not believe I would use Facebook for my classroom. I have an account, but I hardly use it. I tend to read more than I write on my Facebook account. I think Facebook is more fun and enjoyment than teaching.
