Tool #5

I can incorporate storybird by having my students compose stories and practice their vocabulary. Especially my second language learners. My fourth graders can use their language skills such as grammar and practice writing and creating stories in storybird.
In animoto my students can create videos using the different concepts we are learning in the classroom. They can create math, reading, science and social studies videos using animoto.

Tool #5 - 2 out of 2

Tool #4

I can use google docs with my teammates or other teachers by creating documents and being able to share them easily. If another teacher and I are working on a project with our students then we can eaily share back and forth using google docs. We can make changes, comment and edit our project and save easily. I am excited about using the documents and presentation parts of goolge docs with my students.

Tool #3 -videos and pictures

I went into google and went into the picass web album and looked up several pictures. I used the remix filter and found that my students could search any photos and use them in projects and presentations. I like how the photos are vivid in color.
As far as the videos I used teacher tube and school tube to find useful videos to ue in my classroom.

Tool #2 - continued

So I joined classroom 2.0 to get ideas and see what others have to say about technology in your classroom. I browsed through some of the videos and they have some helpful ideas for your classroom.

Tool #2

I find blogging useful with my teammates. I feel we can share ideas and lesson plan ideas online at the touch of a finger. I like how I can see peoples comments, concerns, challenges, and celebrations. I am really looking foward to using this in my classroom and sharing with my team. I also like how other teachers set up links and webpages to learn from and share ideas. I was browsing some other teachers pages and found very useful links to use in math and language arts. Thanks for sharing everyone!!! Sharing my ideas publicly is something to get used to but I like it.
