week 9 thing 23

As I worked through each project it never occured to me about copyright, until this video. Then thought of how someone can easily try to use without permission. All this networking and new technologies go back to training. Our students and teachers must be trained to understand that credit must be given where credit is due.Thank you for insight on . I was not aware that this existed. Go figure.But now i will share this information with others. Thank you for all the ideas, creativity, and training. I really enjoyed discovery learning. Hopefully, I can pass on this information to my colleagues. My sentence to describe this course is Self Absorption.

Ebooks...
is a site where you can join for $8.95 for use of books. The site offers a variety of older children's books that I think would be beneficial for chidren to hear the stories. I think as an ebook these books would be circulated more as compared to a traditional older print version.

This site offers links to a variety of older and newer ebooks that would be more appealing to a child. Overall, I like the idea of an ebook. Sometimes a child wants to be read to and he doesn't get that at home. This is a great alternative.

week 9 thing 21

Podcast... I had no idea. What an adventure and twist on learning. I was interested in the educational podcast. I sorted through and found how to learn spanish.

Hopefully, I can begin my journey in speaking Spanish correctly.Okay I downloaded Juice... I began listening to my new podcast and ....I am learning new pick up lines in SPANISH.LOL! I guess this means I need a little more practice in finding podcast of value.

week 9 thing 20

YouTube is a nice tool to upload and share videos; however, you there is a lot of entertainment style of video included. I selected this video because of the subject matter. It is not suitable for elementary level but it does give a few interesting details that I find fascinating. I like how YouTube counts each videos hits. This is a great tool to find out which has the most traffic.

Zoho.. I found this website to be very user friendly. I was able to create several test documents and email to myself. I also played around with the project creator and made a power point. Which is very nifty. I like this product because it has other templates to choose from and the clip art is already categorized. However, i had issues posting it to my blog. It could just be me since I can't locate the one of many passwords needed. Overall this tool is very useful. It allows users to work with documents/projects from anywhere(all you need is log in).

Week 7 Thing 17

I played in sandbox from Region 1. I made an account under my name. I think that wikis are a useful tool in the school for parents and teachers. I believe that wikis are not being used widely because teachers do not understand or value the resource.
