Here I am being a dutiful student, typing notes onto my blog about our presentation today, and...
I LOST ALL MY INFORMATION!! I guess the computer refreshed itself, but i will try to rewrite what I had.
Alec Couros "elluminated" the class today and gave us some really neat information: slideshow
Well, I had a quote which was the basis for my whole other blog entry, but I don't know what it was and it wasn't in the slideshow that he posted. I guess I will just have to make do with what I remember!
I do remember that the picture of the networked teacher freaks me out every time i see it. It looks to overwhelming, but Alec told us some ways to make it not so crazy and take up so much time. He mentioned some different networks and sites we can use to amalgamate our resources. I have never seen Ning before, but I think I will have to check it out as a potential tool for using in my classroom!
I thought that using Youtube for social networking and asking, answering questions for students was a fantastic idea! There are so many different resources available on the internet that you might not have in neighbourhoods around your home or school!
He showed us some really neat and moving videos and links. Free Hugs, Cry of the Dolphins, Social Media Site
Well, that's about all I can remember...sorry for those of you that have to comment on this blog, it really sucks. I hope you can find something!!
TTFN-Ta-ta for now!

Hey Katie! You are having some bad luck with forgetting/losing your notes for this class! I also really like the idea of using Youtube in the classroom. There are lots of really great videos that have a strong message to send. I think that showing videos such as "Free hugs" should be shown in any class, even if they dont really relate directly to the subject area. Ning also looks pretty neat. I like how students can post videos there to share, as well as we as teachers could post videos for our students to watch and comment on. I was also thinking that using Elluminate live in our classrooms could be something to consider as a way of "bringing a guest speaker to your classroom" from somewhere else, especially if we are teaching in small towns that maybe do not have as many potential guest speakers.
ReplyDeleteI like what your saying Katie and Tannis. I really like youtube. The videos on youtube can be pretty amazing for the classroom. The best thing thing is that there are a lot of videos that are short and to the point for students. Now how do we get the schools to unlock youtube for teachers to use in the classroom.
