final paper

Well, almost done the final paper, Zotero is a really great tool once you get it all figured out (which I haven't totally done yet). I will repeat my comment from class the other day, I really feel like this course should be highly recommended for all students, but especially those in the Graduate/Masters program. I know it would have saved me a lot of time and grief in the last couple of years. I do not have my own classroom and work mostly with individual students (mostly doing assessments this time of year!). Therefore, I haven't had a chance to try many of these applications with students. However, I am in the same school as Shelley and her students are using many of the things we have talked about in class and quite a few that we haven't talked about. So, I have seen them in action and I am always impressed with how quickly children catch on, what a great job they do, and how engaged they are when they are using technology. I'm hoping that my students will get some use out of them next year. Hope everyone has a great summer!

help.........never mind, Kim answered my dumb question

Just thought I would put up a link to an interesting website, www.allkindsofminds.org
It is a good resource for information of learning styles.

Stephen's Web

Checking out Stephen's Web, interesting resource. I really like the following statement from his blog "The challenge for educators across the nation has become how to design and develop a teacher corps and a school structure that allows for a school that operates in a completely different manner than the classrooms we experienced in out own education" - Sammon 2000,2

jing attempt number 6

jing

Okay...I have recorded my Jing presentation...kind of lame, but now I can't get it onto my blog. Do I copy it into a gadget or copy it as a post? Tried both but the link doesn't seem to work. Just wondering what I am doing wrong. Later

ebooks

I have been experimenting with downloading some ebooks (free of course, it's the teacher coming out in me). I still like to have a physical copy, old fashioned I guess, but I know that my kids have downloaded some onto their ipods and they love it. No more lugging around a big bag full of books for those long car rides!
