Thing 14 Edmodo

I set up a PLN for my students to have another way to communicate with each other and with me when we are not in school. I will have to spend more time on Edmodo to figure out all the different features such as how to search for groups.

delicious.com bookmarking......not working?

Everytime I try to add new websites to my delicious page it says, "having temporary problems". Anyone else having this problem?

Week 5 Thing 11 Different web 2.0 Tools

I found Google Reader to be a helpful and quick way for me to check for new comments on blog walls and for our learning Web project! I like using the Google Advanced search feauture to find powerpoints that are at the appropriate level for my students. Since I am shown only the ones at a certain reading level, it saves me time looking at countless ones that are too advanced.

Wall Wisher!

I have this new wall on my classroom blog, what a great way for my students to "talk" to each other and to improve their writing skills!

Classroom blog

My students are learning right along with me! I am happy that they log into our classroom blog on the weekends and post their own talking Avatars, all without my help! I am looking forward to having them use their Avatars in projects, right now they are just learning how to make and post them. I love it when kids take the technology that they have learned at school and use it at home!   Classroom
