Activity 20 Podcasting

I found the educational podcasting site the most valuable. After exploring the first to listed I found I was sorting through alot of rubbish and found it difficult to find something of interest. I then found history podcasts and they also have a RSS feed so I can find out when new podcasts are posted. Like the Teacher tube I look forward to searching for many more podcasts I can use in the classroom.

Activity 21 Teacher Tube

Posted a video on How to make a mummy! Will be great to use with year 7 History. It is funny and gross and the boys will love it. Looking forward to finding many more videos. Can definately see me using this in the classroom. Educational and different delivery. I finally know how others have done this now. Still not sure if the Video clip is meant to come up directly on the blog or just the link.

Activity 19 Rollyo

I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed. Rollyo seems good, I like organising my favourites lists. I did so with the travel sites I visit all the time. Would love to create a parenting searchroll when I have more time.

Wikki Activity

Wow! At first I didn't really understand how wikkipedia was an example. When I looked through the educational wikkis I was amazed how excited I was to do this with my class. The sample school wikki was inspiring. This teacher is giving students dynamic, collaborative opportunities. I can see how students would enjoy having this opportunity. Although I will need some help getting started this is something I would love to eventually try.

Activity 17 Delicious

After spending alot of Sunday doing these activities this was favourite. I loved exploring delicious: Bookmarked 100+ google tricks to save you time at school and wow! I've been trying to tell my students that research is more than typing the question in the tool bar and getting an answer. However the more I discover through this course the more tools and opportunities available not only to my students but also for me as the teacher. All of which I had no idea about.

activity 16

Loved the tutorial from pallinet. Loved how I could take it at my own pace and gave me time to digest information. Control over the information you want to read. Receive it when and how you want.
