Week 7 Thing 17

I entered a note in the Sandbox about sharing information globally with other countries what they are leanring in the classroom.

Week 7 Thing 16

A wiki is a great resource for sharing information within a group. I like the fact that anyone can post or edit an entry as long as it is useful. I would like to use a wiki in my classroom allowing the students to give different ideas how to use technology in the math class. I could also allow the parents to be a part of sharing ideas to give input to certain topics of interest. Most students enjoy commnuicating using the computer technology, so this will be a good resource to use

Week 6 Thing 15

I heard about the Copyright laws but did not realize how serious it can be. I know a lot of students post pictures and videos and don't pay attention to giving credit to the creator. It is amazing how the library has changed in the past 10 years where library books are now a thing of the past. Not many people want to spend time finding a book to check out when they get the same information from the internet. It is important to train teachers and students about the changes in technology so the time searching for the information will be less. We don't have to go to the library now to get the information we need to do research. We now can use our home computer or ipod, iphone, etc.

Week 6 Thing 14

I liked using Technorati to find certain blogs that interests me. I believe this will also be good for doing research on different topics.

Week 6 Thing 13

I created a del.icio.us account and created some bookmarks including tags. I included a website that includes free math materials for the high school level.

Week 5 Thing 12

I decided to use Rollyo to create a search tool for math homework help. This will give students a few choice websites to seek help from their subject area.

Week 5 Thing 10 and 11

I played and created an image of George Bush (Wildcat fan) and may try to create another with my face on an image. I explored the site Revolution Health which is on the Web 2.0 awards list.
I enjoyed the health tips and tips on healthier food. I like about half of the top 10 healthy foods, but can't imagine eating the other 5.

Week 4 Things 8 and 9

I enjoyed creating RSS feeds which makes it so much easier to look up the feeds that interest me. I like the fact that I can create as many as I want and can look them up on my newsreader account. I even posted one on my blog.
