Thing 23

I made it!!!! It was very time consuming project but worth it. I learned so much that I never knew was out there in the technology world. I enjoyed many parts of this journey and will use some of them in my classroom. I thought the podcasts, Youtube videos, and slideshows were some of the bests. I found many new websites to do different things. I really like the Google Docs too. I am thankful that I had all of you to go through this journey with so that we could communicate about any problems or amazements that we had found. Now all I need to do is take some more time and go back through some of the things and spend some more time with them!

Thing 22

https://cmawiki.wikispaces.com/

I enjoyed learning about wikis and creating one. I think the difference between a wiki and a blog is that a blog is owned by one person and they are the only one that can make changes and write things. A wiki can be created and changed by many people.

Thing 21

I think Wikis are something that could be really valuable. I have never heard of these before and enjoyed exploring different ones. While watching the video about the list for a camping trip I was thinking that would be really neat to use when you have family or friend gatherings and everyone brings something. I had a lot of ideas for using that tool. I also liked the Hanalee Book Wiki. I think it would be really cool if the kids could do that in class with novels they are reading. I definitely think this would be beneficial in the upper grades. I really enjoyed this one!

Thing 20

When looking through the EPN website for podcasts it was very interesting all the different kinds I found. I thought the ones that were done by classrooms and kids were cool. I had a hard time listening to some of them.

Podcast Alley was difficult to look for things I thought. I had to preview a lot of them because the titles were very different from what I was searching for.

I downloaded iTunes onto my home computer because my laptop from school wouldn't let me download it. I wish I could have done it on my laptop because I did download Storynory which gives updates of new kid's stories that I think I would use in the classroom for the students to listen to. I also downloaded Sesame Street for my girls because they love it!

Thing 19

I really enjoyed looking through the podcasts. I found the storybook part where they read children's story books. I found this story of Cinderella.
http://storynory.com/2006/04/08/cinderella/
We read a couple different versions of Cinderella before in class to compare and contrast and this would have been really cool to have them listen to as another version. I think this tool would be great in the classroom. You could pull up various books and have the kids listen to them instead of reading them all the time. They could all use practice with their listening skills. I could see myself using this a lot!

Here is a slideshow of beautiful baby photos. I couldn't resist, I love looking at cute babies, especially my own :) ! I could see how you could use this website to find slideshows of various things. I could search for animals, geography items, or things we are learning about and show slides to the kids. The kids love looking at pictures. I think it is very useful how you could use this website in meetings to get certain things across.

Thing 17

I chose the Flashcarddb one and I thought it was a great tool to study with. I think the students could use their spelling words, math facts, and any subject test material to use for flashcards. Kids love to use the computer and this would be great for them study with. It does take some prep but in the long run I think it could be used in many different ways.
