It is so hard to believe that this course is almost over. I have learned so much! Of course, I’ve been frustrated a few times as well, but that is to be expected and is a natural part of learning anything. I definitely think the world is changing for our students. [...]

I enjoyed this task very much. There was a lot to learn from both Classroom 2.0 as well as from Ning. I found a site that had Games That Teach History which included lots of topics that teachers had submitted in the form of games such as “hangman,” “walk the plank,” etc. [...]

OK - Another great tool that we’ve learned is Pageflakes. The organizer in me really loves this one. I love the idea that I can put everything on one site. First I played with the theme and layout, and I chose “flowers” as my background design. Then I put the weather, [...]

Wow - Shelley is right - this was really one of the simpler tasks. I found the Evoca site very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I hope to use it more in the future.

Wow - I never dreamed how many sources for podcasts there would be. First I listened to Dragon Page with Class but it was really too much like a SNL skit - the parody of the NPR women - and I found it a real snooze fest. I found one called One Minute [...]

I am a goal-setter, and I try to encourage my students to set goals as well, so the site 43 Things was pretty interesting to me. At the start of each school year, I have students list some academic and personal goals. Then again in January at the beginning of the New Year, I talk [...]

Well as an organizational junkie (or if you look at my life, maybe an organizational wannabe) this Library Thing looks great to me. I could not resist joining even though I swore I wasn’t going to sign up for one more thing, but this was very quick and easy. And I thoroughly enjoyed [...]
