Well.... I am really excited for using the stuff I've found in this class. I keep talking to my students about what I'm doing in class and I am chomping at the bit to actually get it in the classroom.
Currently, I'm working on a google site for my students and have added tons of useful links off of my other site which has kinda fallen to the wayside. I used to use wordpress...and would still like to, but the updating of the software, etc... is a pain. Makes me want to go to the wordpress site and have them do it all for $15/year.
I also found a cool Web 2.0 tool and look forward to seeing what everyone else found. I actually played with mine for quite a bit and plan to have my kids or my students also try it out. Plus, by having more eyes out there, we are essentially crowdsourcing our search efforts for cool 2.0 tools. We're livin' the dream!! Crowdsourcing is the new crowdsurfing!!

Hi Shawn - I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing about all of the tools that people researched for class this week. Did you have your students play with your resource this week? I would like to set some time aside to create a Google site. My coworker created a Google site for our FBLA student organization. It looks really nice and professional and a great way to share information and communicate with the students. I'm excited to learn and share all of the web applications!
ReplyDeleteYea for $15 a year that does not seem like a bad price if we are really lazy. But as long as we get into the habit of updating and using our web 2.0 tools free will always be the way to go.
