End or Beginning?

This is the end of a long task, and for that I am happy!  However, it is the beginning of a lot of new information that I have learned for when I begin to teach!  I am excited to use all of the websites and tools that I have learned about doing this assignment in my classroom when I begin to teach.

Thing #23

Creativecommons.org/about/ is something that taught me how to do things correctly.  When I begin teaching, I can now show my students how to browse the internet and use material that they are legally allowed to use.

Thing #22

The title of my binder is called "first grade reading assignments."  Livebinders is something that I believe will be very helpful when I am teaching.  Just browsing through the internet in the short time it took me to complete this task, I have three websites saved in my three ring binder that I can look back on forever.  I really like this website.

Working with Animoto kind of frustrated me.  I was able to download three pictures and every time I went to do more it would freeze on me.  However, I must say that I still enjoyed my three picture video very much.  After I played with it for a little while longer though, I was able to upload more photos.  It still wouldn't let me upload the full ten pictures because there wasn't enough time allowed in the video.  This tool can be great to use when I am teaching.  Students would love to do projects using this.  I know I would have loved to know about this site when I was in school.

Thing #20

YouTube is a website that I use f I need to find out just about anything.  For example; lyrics to a song, tallest roller coasters, laughs, movies, and things for school.  The video that I chose is "The Cup Song."  I work in a daycare, and a lot of my school age girls have been practicing this song that they do with a cup.  I just sat here and watched this video until I learned how to play the cup.  I am excited to go to work tomorrow and show them what I have learned.  I really like YouTube.  I feel like it can help students in any way that would be needed.  There are all types of video's to be browsed.

My Page


I found out that I was already a member of this website and I didn't even know it.  I did not have a picture uploaded or anything though.  So today I uploaded a picture of me and added the badge to my blog.  I like this website, I think it will be very useful for teachers.
Facebook is still one of my favorites, if not my most favorite, social website.  It's easy to navigate and to stay in touch with people.

Thing #17

I am very happy that I joined Delicious.  With all of the new technology, who needs junk drives anymore?  I am getting married in August, and I have been saving everything  Using tools like this one is very useful because it saves all files on the internet.  No junk drives are needed or space on your computer taken up.  You don't have to worry about keeping track of your things, it is all saved on the internet.  When I begin teaching, this tool will be very useful.  All of my resources that I will use for teaching will be kept in one area.
