Google+ - 1 views

    Google+ is a social networking application that is relatively new and is gaining popularity. A major feature is circles. With circles Google+ allows the user to set friends into circles that have the same grouping such as Work & Teachers.

    I am not sure if I would use this in a higher education environment. Students at that level use a lot of social networking already and I'm not sure this would be a benefit in the classroom.

    This is a easy way to group friends so that you can have online chats with them. I would use this to group parents or teachers so that we could communicate throughout the week.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

Kathy Schrock's - Google Blooms Taxonomy - 3 views

  •  
    This is a graphic showing how multiple Google tools can be used in different levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.
  •  
    I've seen this before, but I'm glad you bookmarked it! This is a really cool visual aid we can use with our current students, to help them form a connection and better identify the categories within Bloom's educational hierarchical structure.

    Wow this was really fun to look at! I think it is a great source becasue it would help with ideas with what technology to integrate into the lesson so it is effective. Thank you for sharing this!

More Than 5 Million Users Work Online With Zoho - 2 views

  •  
    An alternative to Google apps. You can write documents, make presentations, chat, and even have another source for email.
  •  
    This is a very useful tool, and it is free for educational purposes. I don't know how needed it is, however, because most of the features can already be found on-line for free. I feel that Google would be a better option for schools, because it is more widely used and student would be able to make use it after graduation.

Teaching English using web 2.0 - 3 views

  •  
    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.

Flat Classroom Certified Teacher Course - Information and Announcement - 0 views

  •  
    This is a link to the program for "Flat Classroom teacher certification" (2 credits through UNI).
  •  
    This link is more about providing information on training that is available for teachers that want to become flat classroom certified rather than direct information that could be used by a teacher in the classroom. This makes the information contained in this resource exclusively for teacher use for possible teacher development. I know that the AEA 267 website http://www.aea267.k12.ia.us/pd/ has listings of teacher development courses but I did not see one anywhere else on flat classrooms. This course is one that I might consider taking in the future.

Symbaloo | Access your bookmarks anywhere - 1 views

  •  
    Symbaloo is your personal online desktop. Create links to all of your favorite websites, blogs, news, and other Web 2.0 applications on a single page. This can be used to create and centralize your professional learning network or personal learning environment.
  •  
    This is a cool idea, its simple and clean. This would be a great tool to use to make your PLN. I have done a PLN with google but I did not like it and have not used but I could see my self and students using Symbaloo. I also see this as a tool for student with special needs. If a student who has problem with fine motor skills typing or a mouse would be hard but if they had a touch screen tablet or computer they could set this up and have their favorite sits at the touch of their fingers.
