Tool #11 and Reflection

This tool was very interesting. Using technology in the classroom, I have had to tackle a few of the elements of digital citizenship in the past few years. Three things I will review and teach to my students will be the importance of having rules and systems to using the internet effectively and correctly. I will teach the students digital etiquett and digital literacy. The students need to understand what is appropriate and what is not while using technology. They need to also make sure they have more than one piece of research to base their reports on and that their research is validated. I will also teach my students of digital law aspects of what they do, such as: plagerism, identity theft, and safety.

Reflection:
The three tools that I like where creating a comic strip, photostory, and learning about all the different applications for the IPOD touch and Iphone. Completing these activities have given me the experience and wanting to continue my technological learning so I can be literate enought to make learning fun and interesting for my students. I have changed my thinking on blogging and using an Ipod touch. I am excited to go and purchase one of my own.

Tool # 10

I enjoyed viewing several of the free apps. for the Ipod touch. I liked the Labrynth app. It was fun to see the different games to play. These help the students with eye/hand coordination and problem solving. There were apps for math problems and games, as well as, apps for US history. The app for info and maps of the United States would be very useful in my classroom because my students complete a research project on a state. There is so many apps for the students to use. I am just worried about monitoring what they will be doing.

Tool #9

Using Jing, I would incorporate this website with my students in different projects they will have. The students can use Jing sharing information with each other and finding searches whether it is at school or at home.I could not get into Skyped,but I would use Jing.

Tool #8

I found this video on Cause and Effect. http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=20516&title=Cause_and_Effect_Lesson&ref=Elysevidrine. Students have a hard time understanding this concept, so I thought this would help them understand and find examples in their own life experiences.

The second video is on creating a good paragraph and essay. I will use this when I introduce the process of writing a paragraph then move into writing an essay.
