podcasting in classroom--good introduction; lots of ideas of using audio (e.g., embedding in Word). Instructional delivery (e.g., could use this for 504 plans).
Reviews lots of podcasting Web 2.0 tools. Good point--limit student audio recording. Discusses editing and when to use.
The kids-version of Facebook-at least that's what they are telling me. I need help with this one! I would like to add all of my students easily...guess I need to watch the video.
Article discusses the importance of good teaching and how technology enhances students' learning, but teaching kids to think deeply or critically has to be encouraged. Worth a read.
Qrcodes (really just bar codes) will make it easy to make sure our students (and others) connect immediately with the item we want--no more searching through a class website. Looks interesting.
Character Scrapbook from Scholastic will help students analyze books; one short coming is that you can't save and revisit, so you must have students print out or take a screenshot. Recommended to me by one of my grad students, Collen Van Cura.
Here's my website (new one in process!). I teach my 3rd graders to recite over 40 poems throughout the year. Using poetry as a vehicle, there is so much literacy that happens. The best news it is easy for both the students and the teacher!
This will give you background on the literacy through poetry program I developed! Thanks for looking. Janet
