    This is Ann S. Michaelson's blog, Teaching English using web 2.0. In Ann's blog, she talks about incorporating Web 2.0 tools and applications with students in her International English class. There are great posts about how to use different applications, such as blogs and WebNote, as well as ideas for 1:1 classroom activities. As a future English teacher, I am always interested in learning new ways to use Web 2.0 in my classroom. In addition to presenting different tools, Ann also considers how to teach English as a second language.

    I really like this blog. I really like her ideas about incorporating web 2.0 into an ESL classroom. Whether it be ESL or just a traditional English classroom, I think that using web 2.0 is a promising way to engage students in learning English.

    I like the web 2.0 tools Michaelson introduced in her blog such as Webnotes, Timeline and he vocabulary builder VocabAhead. The webnotes is kind like a combination of google document, google reader and diigo.I think it's convenient for both teachers and students to get useful resources, organize and share them. Although the free version limit the functions, it is still worth trying. The timeline tools is a good one can be used in history course. Using timeline to display flow chart in powerpoint is also a good choice. I like VocabAhead best. It explains words by using image, voice and example sentence. Thus, it makes students much easier to understand a new word and know how to apply in real situation. I think it's a good tool can be used in English class. Thanks for sharing the blog to us.

    This site shows you how to create podcasts for your classroom. Some suggestions this site gives for using podcasts are: weekly classroom news broadcast, document a field trip and, record a class discusson.
  • Alison Leytem on 14 Nov 11
     
    I think resource has great potential for use in a classroom. I would probably use it myself, as a teacher, to learn how to record my English class discussions, or to do posts on different authors or other topics and send them out to my students. It could also be a great tool to use for students, helping them consider taking a different angle on the typical project or presentation. Apple gives another great how-to on creating and using podcasts here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html. We should consider multiple forms of expression, not just text, when using digital technology with students; listening can be so useful!
  • Melanie Abbas on 14 Nov 11
     
    Podcasts are great ways to record classroom lectures in college. I would think it would be useful for staff and students. However, I have never listened to a podcast myself, so I don't know how well they meet the needs of a student. I'm also wondering if because of more availability of video recordings of classrooms that podcasts are diminishing.

    This is a site that is great to use in a classroom. A teacher can pose a question on a board and students can comment on it and express their thoughts. When messages are added, they pop up on the screen like a post-it note. Good for class discussions when the students aren't all together!

    Great Resource for math classes. This has interactive games for kids to play, and it also has videos for them to watch. It puts a new twist on some common math concepts. Great lesson ideas available for math teachers.
  • Emily Keitel on 11 Nov 11
     
    I definitely agree that this resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. I LOVE math, and enjoyed looking through this website. I liked how it included a teachers corner that gives teachers many ideas and tips on how to use the videos and games in a math lesson/unit. This resource is geared towards both students and teachers; the games and videos are mainly for students benefit, but the teachers corner is also a great resource for teachers. There are many other great websites that include interactive games and videos for teachers to use with their students (as well for students to practice on their own at home). Some examples are: http://illuminations.nctm.org/, http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html, and http://gregtangmath.com/.

    Jim O'Loughlin's (of the UNI Department of Languages and Literatures) Electronic Literature class homepage. Electronic literature seems to combine technology with traditional literature and reading. This type of literature could be very revolutionary in terms of bringing new interactions into the reading experience. It also has the potential for use in a 1:1 classroom.

    I really enjoy edmodo. For a class last semester a group I was in created a "class" on edmodo just to get the feel of it. It really creates a nice environment for students to be a part of. It is inviting to them because of the social aspect, yet remains safer than other social networking sites could be.

    This is for those that would like to see more gaming in education. This tool allows you to create your own levels. These levels could be designed to fit a lesson in your class, or even have students create them. There does seem to be some cost in the store.

    This resource is very beneficial and can be used in the classroom. I think that this resource is mostly for teacher use. This gives you a foundation of standards and benchmarks that can be helpful in making a solid lesson. For teachers that are not going to be teaching in Iowa they can find the standards for the state in which they are teaching in.
  • Joe Johnson on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a good resource for mainly teachers. I would use this resource to help create and give the final touches to my lesson plans. I think all teachers would benefit from using this resource. Having this resource bookmarked would save time, which is important for all teachers, while creating and getting ideas for lesson plans.
  • Molly Oleson on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a great resource, mostly for teachers or for students who are inspiring to be a teacher. I have used it in many of my classes and it has helped me out with planning lessons. This would be a good resource to have bookmarked on your page.

    It is a great idea to add this resource. I myself have had to refer to this site so many times. It will be a great resource for now and for when we are in the teaching field. Thank you for adding this so it is in a common place for everyone.

    This periodic table integrates QR (quick response) codes for specific elements. Scanning an individual qr code with your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) via a qr reader, will take you to YouTube videos that provide additional information about a specific element. This can be an innovative way of utilizing QR codes in a chemistry class.

    Here is a great example of using QR codes to support a chemistry curriculum.

    Screen-cast-o-mastic is a free screen recording, screen capture software. It can be accessed through the web on any computer, anywhere, and you can record up to 15 minutes worth of actions and narration. Great for responding to student questions where a visual walk through can be more benificail than a long email.

    I will definitively use this in my future classroom.I have used Jing in the past successfully but this tool has 10 more minutes of free recording than Jing does. This tool can be used both by teachers and students. Students can use this tool to create projects or for presentations. Jing can be found at: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html?gclid=CI2alve0jqwCFQXt7QodBF6zdw

    I liked this blog post and it could work on so many levels. A class could create a book or project and post it on iTunes. For personal use this would be beneficial as teachers could upload course booklets on iTunes for students.

    I liked this bookmark because I have no experience working with InDesign and Terry White explains the content to address a broad audience; even I could follow along and understand! I actually created a 30+ page review last spring using Photoshop... if I could only get some of that time back...

    There is no getting back any time that the Photoshop black-hole has taken from the unknowing slaves to it's awesomeness. : ) Sorry I couldn't resist, as a Photoshop instructor and connoisseur I have lost many a lifetime to Photoshop and it's mysterious ways.

    This looks like a great resource for anyone in education, teaching or learning. It is well organized and provides links to a lot of useful free tools. I wish I had this stuff when I was growing up.
  • Alison Leytem on 14 Nov 11
     
    This looks like a great resource for elementary teachers, providing so many links in one place. It is like an annotated bibliography, presenting various resources for teachers to use, making it easy for us to navigate. Though I plan to teach in secondary education, some of these categories could still be used with high schoolers in my English classroom, especially Google and the Research & Reference resources. I think that teachers in elementary education will find this resource very useful, and I could even show it so some of my high school students so that they would have different things to explore if they were interested. I found a similar website that compiles resources from around the web, focusing on Language Arts education: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/lang_mid.htm. Here, there are citation guides, research help, online literature links, and many other great activities for the LA classroom.
  • Molly Oleson on 14 Nov 11
     
    This looks like a great resource to keep on hand for teachers! I feel like it should be used mostly by teachers and they should definitely take advantage of it. Too often do teachers use the same routine every day and use stuff out of books! Why not go on the computer and research things that can spice up your classroom.
  • Katie Pruiksma on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a great resource for teachers to use in their classrooms to enhance learning. It has a WIDE variety of useful tools that can make learning more fun and engaging. I would recommend that the teacher scans through these options prior to opening them up to students. The teacher could select a few good ones and show them to the students to use during class or at home. I do no have any bookmarks similar to this one, but I am sure there are a lot out there that could be just as helpful. Thanks for sharing the great resource!

    This is a graphic organizer similar to inspiration. It allows to outline content showing relationships between topics. Easy way to go over the main ideas and expand on them while not just presenting a lot of text.
  • Alison Leytem on 14 Nov 11
     
    I really like that you posted this, because I have been looking for an alternative to Inspiration for a long time! It is even better that it is online and can be used from anywhere. I think that both teachers and students could use this resource: teachers for outlining concepts when delivering lessons to students, and students when studying or creating presentations to use with the class. It would be extremely useful in an English classroom, so you could outline the themes of a piece of literature, without getting too "wordy." I haven't found anything else like this online, so I will have to keep looking. Great post!
  • Mikael Rein on 14 Nov 11
     
    I really like this post. I was actually was just looking at this before I saw this post. I think that this site would be able to be used very effectively in the classroom. Students could start their mind map at school and also be able to access it from home on the internet. I believe that this resource can be used by both students and teachers. Everyone brainstorms and this site allows for you to save what you have been working on in your profile. Another mind mapping resource that I have found is called spicynodes. It is the same concept with a different interface.

    Twitter is a social networking site. It can be very beneficial to educators if you follow colleagues and prominent figures in education. Twitter allows you to share articles and resources that are relevant to their interests and education. When you follow people who are in the education you can find lots of new valuable resources that are posted.

    I currently have a twitter account, but do not use it that often. I think if used for the right reasons, it can be very benefical to educators. Twitter is a great way to share ideas and new resources with other educators. I would highly recommend using twitter with colleagues and not students. Trying to find a way to incorporate twitter with your students could create an unsafe learning environment, and would be hard to monitor all students especially in the younger grades.
  • Molly Oleson on 14 Nov 11
     
    Dear Twitter Tweethearts! I have a twitter account and I love it! I follow celebrities mostly though just to get in on the good gossip. Just for this reason though, I don't think it should be used for schools. Perhaps at the collegiate level like I have done in some of my classes, but for high school or younger could possibly break out into bullying on the website towards a student and in some cases a teacher.
  • Katie Pruiksma on 14 Nov 11
     
    Twitter is a very popular social networking site that many businesses, celebrities, and peers use to interact with each other. I have often been told to use twitter in my classroom. However, I am hesitant about doing this. As Joe mentioned, I do not think I would want my students to get involved in twitter during school hours under my supervision. As with Facebook, I believe twitter has the potential to become more of a distraction than a positive. It could open up a window for cyber-bulling and gossiping. On the other hand, I can see that having a twitter account to keep in contact with parents could be beneficial.
