What a tough week to balance! It was more a week of prioritizing.
I made sure I had some time for the last week of 23 Things. This online course was short and jam packed with lots of great tools for school and for me personally. I hope to keep the blog going now that the course is over and the RSS feed has helped me keep up with my professional reading. I loved how Paula presented the information using Screencast, YouTube, GoAnimate, Livebinders, and more. I know that I will continue to use Flicker for images in my Notebook lessons, and I already have a plan to create a Livebinder for our keyboarding classes. It will be better for the students to go to Moodle and open the binder for all of the sites instead of clicking on each one separately. Livebinder also had an interesting section on Food and Recipes. I know I'll be checking that out.
More Good Stuff
The photo editing tools were fun. I can see using Piclit and Five Card in school, and dumpr & Be Funky at home. I should have been working on a 1st year scrapbook for my grandson, but maybe I was meant to wait so that I can try some of these tools with his pictures.
All 3 feedback tools were great to learn about. I really liked Wallwisher and the link for ways to use it will be great to share with the faculty. Answer Garden was short and sweet and would be easy for a teacher to use in the classroom with one computer. I was wondering if the results are anonymous.
I need to spend more time learning about tagging in twitter, find time to play with more of the photo editing tools, and play with the video tools.
Thanks Paula!
Linda, thank you for teaching and learning with me this summer! Your participation has meant so much to me. I look forward to continuing all the discussions (virtual and in person) during the school year!
