Voice Thread

https://voicethread.com/share/5063034/

Here is my voice thread I made. I had some difficulty with this. I couldn't figure really what to do at first. I realize getting to know these type of programs takes time. I am pleased to say that I am becoming more patient everyday with these new tools. I can't believe I have been figuring out this type of stuff. I hope enjoy my pictures because I do.Thanks for looking.

Welcome to my Thinking.

Welcome to my Thinking.

I made my video and I think it is pretty good. I am proud of it. I want to say I had fun and could have my students make one in middle or high school. This would be a great learning tool if they could produce a video in the content I was teaching. Expressing what they learn will probably stick more often then me lecturing to them. I also think this would fit into the part of Bloom's creativity.

Web quest update

So  I finally finished my second web quest. I had to do two of them so far in one semester. I am getting a double dose of Intro and Applications Tech. I don't mind at all. I am glad Jennie teaches me both. I am actually learning something.

I finally did get my magazine journalism web quest done. I can't believe I am doing this. I enjoy all the courses and my learning is only improving. Yeah for an older adult. I can't say this is easy stuff. But give me time and I can learn. Wish me luck!!!

Access

Access was so much fun. Jokingly, I say this because it took me forever to figure out the query's. I know I will use this for my own classroom one day but do you think I will remember when the time comes????? Makes me say, HMMM! Haha.

 

Did anyone else have a problem with the certain criteria you were suppose to put in? I had one hell of the time. I was not happy that it was a guessing game. I did go to YouTube and search for easier explanations.  I did get it done and had to recheck my work. That project took longer then expected to do. I am getting the hang of word more everyweek and I hope to be a pro,haha.

I am pleased to say I did accomplish the task once again. Yeah, for me!

Web Tools

It is amazing how much stuff is out there. We have so many opportunities to enhance students learning. Now if we just took the time to use all the great tools are students would have more hands on learning. They would be more apt to do more. 

I really enjoyed looking through the Google Moderator. People get the opportunity to be heard in an online format that can reach thousands. When we think that are voice can't be heard this is a great way to use the Internet.

Penzu is great way to help students with their thoughts. I like this because you can use it as privacy for students to express comments, concerns and those questions that they don't want to ask in front of the class. I know that feeling all to well. I used to be the introvert person. I never asked much because I felt embarrassed I still get that feeling sometimes. I also like you don't have to have all those journals and have to worry about losing anyones.

When looking through these sites you have to subscribe to them to really view them. Their should be more indepth tourtials for people to look at. They don't always give the real overview because they want you to get involved by downloading the site.
