Blog This

So, how do you like your new blog? 

What will you use it for?  Maybe you will have students respond to a novel you are reading in class, or discuss a science experiment, or simply to get to know your students at the beginning of the year.  It is a great way to encourage writing.

Social Bookmarking

There are lots of web sites that allow you to collect your bookmarks online so that you can access them from any computer.  We learned about 2 ways to keep up with personal bookmarks.  What were they?

Other sites you may want to check out on Elizabeth’s Wiki are deli.cio.us, backflip, and My Yahoo!

What is the value of having access to bookmarks on any computer?  How could you use this for your students? How could you better direct research using these social bookmarking tools? 

Any other thoughts on social bookmarking?

Wiki Wonders

First, what does wiki mean?

How is it different from a web page? 

On Elizabeth’s site http://uabtechnologyinmotion.wikispaces.com we saw different links to other Web 2.0 tools.  What did you learn about a wiki by seeing how she set up this site as the “handout” for this workshop?

What did you think of the Classroom Response System?

We just used the CRS system from elearning to answer questions.  Did you like this format of responding?  Why or why not?  How would you use this for students in your class or school?
