Tool 5

Just worked on creating my Delicious bookmark. I was awaken on how easy it was to located websites and tag on this program Delicious. I was thrill that you can share your bookmark with friends. It's also incredible that you don't need to be on your personal computer to located your favorite websites. Can't wait to show my students how to save their favorite math game sites and they can easily go into any computer as long as they know how to use delicious. I also loved the tool in delicious explorer where you can search your topic of choice and it gives you a list that you can choose from.

Tool 4

Google Docs- It's a wonderful program because it will help speed the process of creating a lesson that you can share with your grade level team. They can comment on the idea. Add more to it or give examples on how I can improve it.

Google Reader- I feel that Google Reader is a nice way to stay in touch with the world's daily news. This will help me keep ideas for techology lessons fresh and up to date with today's topics. For example I can see what's on the National Geographic Kids. This will help when I want to teach a lesson on Mammals.

I used wordle and it was great. It will help my ESL students develop more use of vocabulary in a exciting way.



I really enjoyed creating an Animoto video. It is above the wordle clip. I was so fasinated on how Animoto can create a 30 second video of pictures. It wasn't difficult at all. I was so impressed on how this program creates a video with music and a back ground. I created a video on my sons favorite thing to do in the summer. I am hooked on this program. I can't wait to create video's of my new class of 2010.

Tool #2

The benefits of being in a personal learning network is that you get to share ideas about an topic relating to technology. It is amazing that you can communicate with people all over the world who have the same interests in creating something new.

What motivates me to communicate with other educators is to get more inform on ways to better help my students in techology going towards the 21 century.

I commented on the following blogs:
1. Discovering Techology for Education ( Guadalupe Menjivar)
2. Kinder Tech- (Deleon, Vanessa)
3. Sylvia's Blog-(Alaniz, Sylvia)
4. 21 Century Technology (Casamayor, Marie)
5. Jackson's Blog- (Jackson, Nancy)

Tool #1

Hello!
I am almost done with part 1 tool #1. The process wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I would have my students create their own blog during writers workshop time. I think they will really enjoy writing comments to each other and other students. This will help them get feed back on opinions and write comments that are important to them.
