Thing 9
Thing Nine
Generators are the absolute best idea ever! You see these everywhere, but little did I know, you don't have to pay for these at the mall kiosks!! These could be great reward incentives for students or really great learning activities for students to be creative with. The first picture above was created at www.fototrix.com. It is me and one of my friends. The next one below it is of a dummies book. I created this one at www.customsigngenerator.com I thought it would only be appropriate to relate it to myself!! I will have so much fun with this in the future! I never thought this would be available to the public!! I'm so excited!!
Thing 1
Thing One!! Through this class, I have found out the importance of learning to use technology. Mrs. Richardson has given us lots of instruction with great knowledge. We also had a guest speaker that showed us how to use the video cams and learn to upload to our site. It is very important for teachers to learn to work together as a group to accomplish what is best for the student's learning. When in class, it is comforting to know that our educator knows how to show us new things. By having a guest speaker, Mrs. Richardson, showed us the importance of learning from other educators!

The Creative Commons...
This proves to me that the image/application that was used is legal to be used, shared, and modified.

I most certainly will make my students aware of the problems they may face if they use a licensed product illegally. I will have each student quizzed on the Creative Commons practices and have them use these techniques while in my classroom. I certainly did not know until I did this lesson, that it was illegal to use pictures from online. I thought since they were posted it was safe to use. I am glad that I now know how to prevent illegally using these. I have already taught my daughter the legal way to use these applications.

Thing 22
LIVEBINDERS!!!
What an amazing way to save your stuff! With Livebinders you can have one site that connects you with other important sites including web pages, videos, pdf's, music, art, images and just about anything else you can think of. This would be a great tool for the students as well as the teacher and parents. Classwork could be done through this. It would be a great tool for students that missed a homework assignment, or a parent wanting to help their with homework. You could post links and help pages to help the parent understand the work. Each section is divided by tabs and subtabs. It's completely free!
I created a binder to help my students and their parents. The binder I made is titled "Homework Help". This should enable parents to get the knowledge they need to help their child with homework.
Next I created one called "Online Quizzes". These websites will help strengthen the student's learning by doing these online quizzes at home. While this isn't considered homework, parents could help the child to learn by allowing them time on the computer at night to work on this. It is also good to let students who learn at a faster pace to use these sites as free time on the computer at school when their regular work is finished. This keeps the student engaged and not wasting time sitting around waiting for other students to finish.
The third binder I created is titled "Powerpoint". Sometimes students learn by visually seeing the lesson and how it applies to what they are doing. Using powerpoints allows this option.

Thing 15
Wiki.....what a hilarious word. It sounds like song lyrics from the 80's. If only rap songs from the 80's could be as useful as Wiki's! I go to www.wikipedia.com consistently for information. I joined APSU's 23 things wiki too! I added my post from my blog about Animoto, thing 21 and I named my page Kelli's Animoto.
This tool could be very useful and beneficial to students. They could create their own class wiki and discuss homework and procedures. It could be managed by the teacher to be sure the information was correct. They could also use other important wiki's to find information about their projects or homework. I find these sites quite important in my ongoing need of new knowledge.
Thing 21
My Animoto Video
This site is amazing. What a great way to create an amazing photobook to share. This tool would be great to share with family, especially out of state family, of the things you and your family are doing. This would also be great for a classroom project to share at the end of the year of all of the fun learning experiences the children had. Parents and educators alike would find this tool very valuable! The link below is my video.

Thing 19
I am now a member of www.bakespace.com. This is a wonderful tool to find recipes. Not only do you find the tried and true recipes of the past, but new ones and family specialites. I have also joined www.teacherpop.com. This is a fabulous tool for educators. This allows educators to share plans, ideas, and great new ways of teaching our students and keep them engaged. There are many new ideas to teaching and even getting your teaching licensure that are still unclear to me. Using teacherpop.com, I can find out the important information that I need to be an effective teacher. I may also be able to help other new education students by blogging about my college experiences, so that they wouldn't feel anxious like I did about acquiring new skills.
