Twitter


I learned about several good websites. I have gotten the most out of Brian Thomas from TCI. I use TCI products at my school and have gotten some really good ideas from them.  I will be completely honest I do not really enjoy twitter.  It is almost like reading a foreign language to me.  I will keep my twitter account after this class, but I may not be using it daily. I understand why it is so popular, but I guess it is not my style. I will not be using it with my students at this point for the same reasons I do not friend students on Facebook.

Free Technology for Teachers


After exploring Richard Byrne’s blog I found he has some really good ideas. If I were to go to a different school, I would be excited to try some of them. At my school the majority of the students do not have computers or internet access at home. Our school has a few computer labs that must be booked several months in advance. The browsers on the computers are out of date and will not even support the Kahn academy. Hopefully in the future we can get some better technology and I will be able to use some of the information.

Week 3 Screencast

I really enjoyed making this screencast. It was very easy to do and I will be using this app in my teaching.
