Web Camp 2.0

This has certainly been a very interesting 3 days. I have enjoyed learning some new things and adding information to the concepts that I already knew about. I am very excited about starting school in the fall with a list of new ideas and fun things to share with my team. Thank you technology team for having a web2.0 camp this summer - I really enjoyed everyday.

eBooks

I think eBooks are a great idea. If getting to the library or bookstore is an impossible feat, this would be a good way to find that book you have always wanted to read. This is fantastic.

PODCAST

I think PODCAST would be a wonderful addition to classroom curriculum. It could open the doors of the world for so many children who never get an opportunity to step outside of their culture. Students and teachers could create their own classroom podcast to be broadcast all over the world. What a wonderful opportunity this would be.

GOOGLE BLOGS



This is terrific. When my 6th grade team needs to collaborate on creating a common assessment this is a great way to get the job done without a lot of frustration. I cannot wait to share this with my team.

LIVE FEED - YEH!! THANKS MS. BARNET

Look over to the left side and check out the live feed. Thanks Ms. Barnett for your help.
Adding videos to your blogs makes the blog more interesting (that's if you can see it - lol)!!

RSS


RSS is a great way to get news updates during the day. It's nice to get the news before I get home. Want to know the latest Music News, check out the RollingStones Magazine online. Take a look at the latest info on Dave Matthews Band

YES!!! IT WORKED


Okay, I geuss the venti Passion Tea with a shot of Lemonade worked afterall. I just needed a deep breath and a little StarBucks juice to make this technology work. I am ready for RSS & Newsreaders.

WEB 2.0 - SESSION 2


WEB 2.0 is a fantastic way to integrate technology into the classroom.
I really love technology, but this is just one of those days that makes me want to scream. What is it about technology that makes us crazy. It works when we don't really care if it works and if we really really really want it to work -- it doesn't.
