Thing #24-Where I go from here!

This was definitely an experience for me. There were some pros and cons for this assignment meaning that there were some tasks that I enjoyed and others I didn't. Some assignments that I like was Live Banners and the different image generators. I also like Flickr because I was able to see  thousands of different images of various things. Some that I did not like was the RSS, and  Zoho. Some of this I do not find useful in a classroom but a lot of this I will. I can defiantly see my self using a lot of this in my day-to-day life. I'm glad that I was able to learn this valuable information and use this in my future!!!

Think #23-The End!

Prior to this class, I had never heard of Creative Commons. But I had heard of Plagiarism. Ever since middle school, all of my teachers talked about you can't plagiarize. It's against the law. But now that I'm thinking about it, a lot of Power Points that I have created in the past I did not do it correctly. I just assumed that if it was on the Internet I could use whatever I wanted that I could find.  But now I know what Creative Commons are and I can teach my students about them as well. Tell them it's OK to use the information off of the Internet and Google but have to say you created it.

Thing #22

This website has potential of being very affective. I can have a workbook of different websites that i can easily access to show my students. Within in my binder I have several different tabs from worksheets to games. This is definitely something I can use in my classroom.

Thing #21-Ashley's Animoto Video

Ashley's Animoto Video

I really enjoyed this website! I found it very fun while creating this video. I don't think I could use this in a lecture, but if I participated in a fundraiser, I could use this to show others what we did during the progress. 

Thing #20-YouTube

I absolutely love YouTube!! I know at least once a week I use YouTube to watch some type of video. I have a 10 month old daughter who loves Mickie Mouse. Yesterday when I went shopping at the mall she was very fussy and not feeling good. So to make her feel better I turned on Mickie Mouse and she was all better, laughing and smiling. Here is one of the episodes that we watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdsMq-Ej5NU

Also if a new movie is coming out we are able to view clips and tailors for that movie. For example, the next movie I want to see is the final part of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part -2.

Thing #19

The website I decided to join is www.teacherpop.com.  This is a wonderful tool for educators for a classroom.  This allows teachers to share lesson plans, ideas, projects, and new ways of teaching  students and keep them engaged.  There are constantly different and new ideas to teach in the classroom.  Using teacherpop.com, I was able to find out the important information that I could use for being an effective teacher.  I  can to help other teachers with their new students by blogging about my classroom. I can also give new teachers ideas on how to set-up their classroom and give them some useful ideas.
IMDB is something that I use quite often. I use this a lot I even have an app of it on my phone! I use this fir many different reasons. If there is a movie that I'm thinking of and I cant think of the actors in it, this network will allow me to do it. Also if there is a movie that I want to see, I am able to see the actors in it along with seeing the ratings.  

Thing #18

I think that Facebook can be very useful in a classroom and even for a school. Schools could create a Facebook page for many reasons. Upcoming events that are coming up, and faculty meeting, sport games. This could be very useful.
I personally like Facebook to an extent. I use Facebook to keep up with friends from school, and my friends from Louisiana where I use to live. The biggest reason I use Facebook is to put pictures of my beautiful daughter on there. I know that there are several of people who I don't see often they enjoy seeing pictures of my daughter on there. :-)
