Thing #21

I really did enjoy completing the 2.0 learning. So much is going through my head. It has helped me generate ideas of how to use technology in the classroom. The bad side about all of this is that there is only so much time in a day or the school year to incorporate technology. So many good ideas but where do you start. I have made a list and will work on a couple this year and then incorporate more with each coming year. I am sure that some will go by the wayside while others will be center stage. Oh well, life long learning at its best.

With all the new technology, eBooks will be see a big increase in usage. Wow, reading ON technology gadgets. Great for some of us who really like to read. I feel that students would get help using audio books. This would help them with reading and learning the content.

Thing #19

Podcasting is something that I would really, really like to explore more this coming school year. There are so many relevant podcasts out there that could be used in the classroom. But what I really want to do is to have students make their own and post to our class Wiki page.

I have had the pleasure of trying to upload video segments when my 6th graders did their Volcano Glogster. Many videos were blocked due to the district blocking You Tube on student computers however, Teacher Tube worked great.

The Introducing The Book video was quite funny.

What a nice way to keep track of your own books and share. This might be a way to share video between science team members also. I will do some more probing.
