Twitter in a Classroom - 12 views

Twitter is a useful tool for an ECE teacher to communicate with parents of students. This is an easy way for parents to be informed on what is going on in their child's school and classroom.

    Many opportunities for students to create and interact with art. From abstracts to collages, students will definitely find ways to unleash their creativity.

  • they enable users to articulate and make visible their social networks
  • While SNSs have implemented a wide variety of technical features, their backbone consists of visible profiles that display an articulated list of Friends1 who are also users of the system.
  • Structural variations around visibility and access are one of the primary ways that SNSs differentiate themselves from each other.

  • SNSs vary greatly in their features and user base
  • the first recognizable social network site launched in 1997
  • Most took the form of profile-centric sites
  • Unlike previous SNSs, Facebook was designed to support distinct college networks only.
  • a shift in the organization of online communities
  • primarily organized around people, not interests
  • "Friends" on SNSs are not the same as "friends" in the everyday sense; instead, Friends provide context by offering users an imagined audience to guide behavioral norms.
  • there are passive members, inviters, and linkers "who fully participate in the social evolution of the network"
  • most SNSs primarily support pre-existing social relations.
  • she argues that SNSs are "networked publics" that support sociability, just as unmediated public spaces do.

    Tikatok is a website where you can create your own book using your own pictures scanned into the computer. You can order a copy of your completed book so that you can have a hard copy of what you or your children have created. This is a great tool for teachers or parents to inspire a child's imagination to create a story with both words and pictures.

    I really like this site and would definitely use it if I had children. It makes it so easy to make a story and actually get a hard copy of it. I reviewed Storybird, which is another site that allows you to create stories, but it doesn't have the option of ordering it. I think this is a step up from Storybird!

    I found this website to be very confusing to use. It doesn't seem like it would be very appropriate for young children. There is a chance that a teacher could use it in a early childhood classroom, but overall, most children that young would have a hard time listening to a presentation, even if it was a cool one. Also, Prezi costs money to use so that is definitely a draw back. However, if you were a college professor or even high school teacher, Prezi may be worth the money.

    Madelyn, you are right- this is not for use by young children. It is a new type of presentation tool which shifts from the typical slideshow type presentation to one that organizes all of the information components on a single document, and allows the presenter to zoom in on sections of the content, and particulars, to help share ideas. There is a free download version available, which is the one I have started to explore. For example, I have documented the development of our use of Diigo in early childhood settings, and created an image map. That is not visually interesting/accessible when shared as a whole, but might be transferable into a Prezi document which would be. We will see...

    This website is very creative and fun. However, I do not think it is appropriate for early childhood education. The vocabulary is way too advanced for this age group. Also, while the pictures and videos are funny many of them are inappropriate for children. It is definitely a website for older, more mature students.

    This is better than totlol because it's free :) Part of KidZui, I like the searching, browsing, and channel options. I'm not entirely sure how videos get in because you can 'report' videos, and they've definitely removed some videos because if you search for "sex" you'll find a bunch, and several have been removed. But, it's better than just letting a kid loose on youtube :)

    I really loved this website! It would be great in a classroom because a teacher can easily find videos that are appropriate for his/her classroom. My favorite aspect would probably be how they set aside a videos specifically for Halloween! This would be really fun in a classroom around Halloween, and I bet they do it for more than just Halloween.

I think that this is a great alternative to the traditional poster and markers. Since it is something that many students have probably never used before, I think they would be excited to try it. ...

    This site provides teachers with lesson ideas that are technology based. Teachers will find this site useful because for each activity it provides an overview of the lesson, goals, and materials needed. The site also includes detailed instruction on how to implement the activity.I really enjoyed that the site was easy to navigate and provided a lot of in-depth ideas. I will definitely use this site in my future classroom.
