Thing #8

I could use Flickr and Flickr mashup to create a collage of students in my classroom. By using these tools you can create memories that will last for my students. I could allow my students to use Flickr and Flickr mashup as a form of a project to see what they can come up with. I don't really have a problem with sharing my photos. I share photos other ways like on Facebook and Instagram.

When making a Flickr account it was pretty easy.  I had fun taking pictures and putting them on Flickr.  I would use Flickr in my classroom to allow parents to see pictures of their students that get taken throughout the year. I have used another photo hosting service before. I have used Instagram it is kind of like Flickr except that on Flickr you can join groups and on Instagram you can only follow people. Having my photos on a public place doesn't bother me because I chose to let it be public and not change the settings to private. Working with Flickr has been fun cause it allows you to take pictures and edit them to be different then when you took them.  It is fun seeing the different pictures of others that you can look at.

24me is a tool that allows you to create a to do list and reminds you when things are due and at what time they are due. Also 24me allows you to pay your bills by linking your service provider to it and then it will create a pay bill task. A few days before your bill is due it reminds you and you can go in to the app and pay your bill. There is also a section where you can put your task in and they will find someone to do it for you. The section greet friends will make sure that you never miss a friends birthday. You can share task and others can help you get the task done. You can put the task that needs to be done in to the app by speaking to it through voice command.

This tool and help in school by allowing you to put in when you have projects due and reminding you when you have a test coming up. This app will help you not miss a due date for you school work once you put in all the information needed.


The link to 24me that informs you of all the applications that it can do. Also it tells you what phones it works for and where to download the app.

Thing #4

Commenting on blogs can make a blogger more confident. It allows them to get others opinions as well as reinforce the writers. If a blogger is writing something you like and you comment they might write more.

When you comment on a blog it can spark a converstation. When people start talking they create a community. This community forms around the blog that is being commented on. When people comment the blogger doesn't feel like they are talking to themselves.

Are all students blogs that I commented on.

The two other blogs that I commented on are
http://teachingiselementary.blogspot.com/2013/02/civil-war-traveling-trunk-inspires.html?showComment=1361461897634#c3507470552036846516

This blog is about how a teacher used a Traveling Trunk to teach her students about the civil war. I commented on this because I thought that it was a good way to make the studnets excited about learning about the Civil War.

This blog give a lot of helpful ideas for a teacher to use in the classroom. I commented on the peer review worksheet because I thought that it was a good way to have students help one another with their writing.

Thing #3

In the future a blog could be helpful as a teacher for many reasons. For instance you could write assignments on the blog so if a student forgets to write the assignment down or is not in class they can know what to do for make up work and homework. Also teachers can use the blog to inform the student's parents about up coming events in the classroom like field trips and parties.  Also it allows the students to be able to leave comments and ask questions and either students or the teacher can answer. Finally, it will allow the teacher to be able to post links to websites that could be helpulf for the students to study.
