32 Ways to Use Google Apps in the Classroom - 1 views

VoiceThread - Conversations in the cloud - 0 views

VoiceThread can be used in a variety of ways, educationally. Clearly, use by those in post-secondary education (as done in Technology in Education) is a fun way to enhance online courses. K-12 teachers can also use VoiceThread to present ideas for their classrooms and dialogue with other teachers. Or, teachers could ask their students to participate in "flat classroom" projects, using VoiceThread to do presentations for and get feedback from other students across the globe. A dynamic, multi-use collaboration tool for anyone involved in education at any level.

Ashley, Animato is a great way to make and share a video in a short period of time. I have used Animato with students and they love the ease of program. I used this with HS students, but I know that our grade school teachers have used it as young as fourth grade. Great program - Thanks
An iPod in Your Classroom Toolbox - 1 views

This is a great presentation on how iPods can be used in the classroom. They are often forgotten nowadays, but they can still be a very effective tool in the classroom. iPods, as well as technology, is always motivating for students.
-
I just checkout 15 ipods from our library, no one was using them and I really think they could be beneficial to the students. I really like this slideshow and it sparked some new ideas for me.

I used this tool, in addition to Twitter, for technology training to introduce the idea of backchannels for K-12 administrators. They loved it. -
I think this could effectively be used in a virtual classroom in my future because my students could get on with their presentation, have it available for viewing by me and his or her classmates, and I can get on and edit it if needed. I believe this resource is for both teacher and student use, as students must get on with their presentations, or the teacher could, and they could make comments and give feedback on one anothers' work. This reminds me a lot of Adobe Connect!

Thank you Kelsey for posting this, I've seen these word clouds on websites and other places but didn't know how to make them. Now I don't have to look any further. I think this resource will be something that I could use in my classroom. It may be a tool used so students can see what words they use most in their writing or for a poetry unit. It is definitely something that I can see myself using for graphic works, either on a blog, yearbook page, or poster. This is something that I feel both students and teachers can use, but mostly students. I know there are similar sites out there, but not sure what they are.

I love this cite to do word wall words and other things. I used it a great deal last year but had forgotten about it. It is not only a good resource for the teacher but the kids love it to. Thanks for refreshing my memory on this site.

BlamSpot - Blog by Bill Lammers, a Language Arts and Theater Technology teacher at George Washington High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. An insightful, creative, and humorous look at education and life.
-
I love the BlamSpot, he has such a great way of presenting information, awesome sense of humor. -
It's like a comic just for teachers! It's nice to see that Bill Lammers is from Cedar Rapids. His ideas are presented in logical and originals ways. The September 14 post on creativity is particularly refreshing. This seems like the kind of blog I could get used to checking in on every once in a while. Thanks for sharing!

This looks like a great resource. I was just thinking the other day how can I use the technologies and programs I don't know a thing about. This has it broken down really well and includes a summary with them. Very user friendly!
-
Just FYI: sorry if this gets posted twice. I accidentally posted these far before the assignment was due, and wanted to ensure they are still visible on the group.

I have came across this resource before as well and seemed to really enjoy it. I really enjoyed how it incorporated mobile tools, community tools, as well as presentation tools. I feel this is a very beneficial tool in which I could use in my future classroom. Another thing that I really enjoyed about this resource was the fact that it not only targeted teachers, but also included admins, parents, and students as you mentioned. Great find! -
I have explored this site before. It is a good one, in my opinion! It has many great resources for teachers and students. I really like how it has specific links to all Web 2.0 tools. This would be very efficient for busy teachers who need resources about technology and how to incorporate it into lessons. I have not come across any other site that highlights all the major components of Web 2.0 tools.
Teaching With Wikis - 1 views

This website is a helpful resource for teachers with topic such as: using wikis for the first time, using wikis for specific purposes, and how to introduce wikis to students. It is a site that would be perfect to look over to gain more information on the tool before you begin implementing it into the curriculum.
-
This is a very useful site that can assist developers and teachers with incorporating wikis into courses. Practical and effective suggestions are detailed, with sample wiki projects effectively supplementing the strategies presented.
-
This is an excellent resource for teachers who are planning to use wikis in their classroom. It has everything from how to use them to preparing students to use them. Great resource and one I would definitely use in the future.

This website is a marketplace for educators. It is a resource to get materials of various kinds to be used in the classroom. This can range from classroom management, labels, lesson plans, paperwork used in the classroom, forms, etc. Some items are free and some must be bought. These materials can be printed and used or be used as framework for a teacher who is looking to create their own materials but doesn't know where to begin and can use these as a template.
-
I have been to this site and there are some great things on here, but I have a little bit of a problem with teachers selling their lessons. If this is what you want to do then create something that can be sold commercially. I am not really sure why this strikes me as wrong but it just doesn't sit right somehow. I would gladly share my ideas with others, but if I want to make money off my ideas I would go to the work to present it in a manner that those purchasing would have some assurance that what they are purchasing has some educational value, meets goals and standards and has been tested and refined. Personal opinion, like I said at the beginning there is great free stuff on here too, check it out and see what there is to offer.
Google Docs Story Builder - 3 views
-
This amazing new tool (new to me at least) allows you to create a short story and set it to music using the Google Docs interface. When you are done it creates a short link to share out to all your family and friends. This has amazing implications in education and technology for use as a quick check for understanding, overview video, formative assignment, or quick creative writing assignments.

This looks like exactly what I would like to try with my students to get them doing some collaborative story writing! I would use this for creative story writing, research, and as a planning tool in 3rd grade. -
This would be a cool idea in the classroom for sure!!!! Perhaps, they can collaborate and create their story before making a video or presentation - which could also be created collaboratively.

Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Sources of Free Sound Effects and Music - 2 views
-
It's always great to have sources for free sound effects and music.
-
I agree that this could be used in the future classroom because I could use songs to get my students engaged in my lessons. I could download a song with lyrics that have the concepts of one of the units we are currently working on. I also think this is strictly for teacher use because they are the ones presenting it to the students in order to get them engaged. I have never heard of any other resource close to this!

This would be a great resource for teachers to use with students. So many possibilities! It would be a perfect fit when learning about landforms in social studies.
-
Andi, Way cool site! I hadn't heard of this before. I can see where it would be of good use in the classroom. Lots of multimedia activity going on. Thanks for sharing. -
Hello, Andi, and thanks for sharing. This is a great website, and I'm somewhat ashamed as a geography teacher that I didn't already know about it. I use Google Earth all of the time, and this website will supplement that well. I'll present this as well to our world history teachers in 6th grade as a potential resources as well. Thanks again.
