I can't wait to use things like creating blogs and avatars; digital storytelling; bubblr, flickr, and bookr; jing and skype.
I plan to use bookr or photostory to have kids create a story about a field trip or subject we have learned about.
I already knew that technology was an important part of the education of our kids but I felt ancient in not being knowledgeable about it. I now have a ton of tools in my toolbox and feel that I am more comfortable to use them to enhance learning in the classroom.
I am definately more comfortable and confident with many of these tools. However, I am still unsure of how to deal with some of the problems that I have encountered (not being able to hotlink some of my sites, not being able to download some of the videos that I wanted to include in my blog, etc.) Hopefully, some of my collegues will know the answers to what I was doing wrong.
Overall, this was a great experience for me!

You've given me hope. I'm on tool #2. 1 was a killer. I am determined. I can't wait to see what your kids will be doing with your knowledge
ReplyDeleteHang in there. It can be frustrating at times, but I can truly say I learned alot.
ReplyDeleteGlad you finished! Maybe we can get some "user groups" together to problem solve this year.
