Summary Post

My favorite exercises were the 30 second video feature and the aspusandbox wiki tool. This program has truly affected my lifelong learning goals, because it has shown me that you never stop learning. I am so surprised about the amount of material that is presented in a short period of time. I am taking away a huge amount of knowledge that will help me in my future classroom. I am surprised at the amount of new technology that has surfaced in the teaching profession. I think that having a student lab for those that are not catching on to everything would be a plus. I am convinced that what I have learned will be used in my everyday practices as a teacher. I plan on continuing to use the tools and concepts. I recommend continuing learning through other classes a APSU and tutorials on the web. I will continue to learn web 2.0 and the classes that are part of my academic plan will be taking seriously. I have to learn and retain the information that is being taught so I will not be left behind.

Visit TeacherPop


I am not a member of an online community. I found the Flixster movie social network to be appealing. I am a movie lover at heart. I found it interesting that you can watch movies on the Flixster website. I could possibly use this tool for a holiday movie in the classroom as long as it is rated G. I would also use this at home when I have nothing better to do.

Thing #23

I found a site that is called 43things.com, which is a social networking website that was created in the year 2004. This example, tells me that the Teacher's Blog was based off of this website principals. The administration has tweaked the website original ideas of setting goal on the website. We simply have 23 things instead of 43 things. If I create video, poems, and pictures, Creative Commons will allow me to share and protect my work. I can see me using this for the classroom when we create different projects that are share amongst other people. Power-points are a way to use Creative Commons to reach others through video communicaton.

I listened to Joel Audio Podcast, Grace for Every Season of Life. I found Learn Out Loud to be the easiest directory. This thing has not inspired me to create a podcast for myself. I probably would if it included other students. I would definitely subscribe to Joel Osteens podcast and Joyce Meyers podcast. These two pastors are very encouraging and I love to listen to what they have to say. They always instruct you to make the most out of life and to line up with God.

This was my favorite thing to do! I really enjoyed making the video it came out great. The results are amazing for a 30 second video. The features were very easy to manipulate. I had no problem downloading my photo's from my flickr account. The best experience with web 2.0 yet!

Thing # 20

I love YouTubeit is great for watching video. Almost, any topic can be found on the site. I chose this video because it really is a wake up call to current teachers and future teachers. The students that we encounter can easily get distracted by what we as teachers say and do.It becomes a matter of are we here to be a team player to teach the children or is it all about us. If it is about the children let us be on guard to make sure that we are doing what our job requires. The features that I found to be useful like partner videos could be applied to my library website. I could easily upload a video that applies to any subject being taught. The HD feature is nice to because everything is moving to High Definition.

Thing # 18

I find it important for educators to social network for ideas. They can also benefit from others knowing their credentials, because it could open doors for something bigger and better in the career field. I gained new insight on how to join networks and why it can be beneficial to join. Another insight is linking text messages to your mobile phone. Lastly, I found out that Facebook has a payment window for any charges you may incur on Facebook. I like Facebook because it gives me a sense of safety and with MySpace I do not feel this way. I feel like MySpace maybe more user friendly. The site seem to have more accessible categories without having to search for a long period of time. MySpace also has an application for school searches under the word more. I like the way MySpace looks, but I am not convinced it is the social networking site for me.
