The End

I thought I would really enjoy blogging, but man did I not know you had to be so dedicated. I like computers but typing all this stuff has me blogged out. I did enjoy gaining all the knowledge about the applications I had no idea about. This has helped me for my future as a teacher in more ways than I could think of right now, but watch out blogging world you might see me again.

Thing #23

Now that I am aware of creative commons I will be able to share with my class when it is ok. Knowing that some is off limits where some already gave the ok to take the work. Having me gain more knowledge on it has made me feel more confident in talking about things when it comes to copyright.

Thing #22

My 3 binders , I decided to go with the topics Tennessee Common Core Standards, Reading and Language Arts, Lessons for Reading and Language Arts. I like this is a free source and has so much to offer.The binder attached has so many things for a 2nd grade Reading class, along with games. This source is going to help me in the long run as a future educator.

Thing #21

My love

I have never made my own video like this. It was really easy to do and fun at that. I have always wanted to put together a video of me and my boyfriend and by knowing this I finally had access to do it. The only down fall that I finished would have been better was the fee you had to pay for longer video time.

I was looking around on youtube and found this video and thought it was very cute. I have nothing negative to say about youtube. I use it for my own entertainment along with music and etc. I mean you can type in a keyword and get so many different video's for your one keyword. I love youtube its the video king.

Thing #19

The only online communities I am a part of is Facebook and Twitter. My mind has been expanded to more online communties and I have seen and explored so many more options and will never have to go without agian. Out of all of these I enjoyed TeacherPop, this site was helpful and could see me using it in my future. I wish I have known about a lot of these and not just seeing this for the first time.

Thing #18

I already have accounts in both Twitter and Facebook. I am a Facebook junkie as one might say. As I am already liked the College of Education page. Social networking is one of the most if not the most popular way to share, tag, and update. I need to gain more insight on Twitter, but I can't back away from what I am dedicated too.

Thing #17

Delicious would be a very good tool for teachers. They can bookmark certain pages and access them at any given time. It keeps things nice and organized, and teachers can get together and share all what they have found. I would use this tool when I am in a classroom by if I had a must see page to share in class it is as easy as bookmarketing it and having full access to it the next day in class. It also is something you can have anywhere, anytime, and any place with internet.

Thing #16

I have actually been introduced to igoogle before. My friend used it to set up her home/start page and she had talked to me about and I just never did it. So I did today, I really liked it and feel that it will come in handy for me. I have all the things that I use for Google right where I need them and instead if me going all over the place to get to my google drive it is awesome. I made it my home page and I feel special seeing that igoogle waiting for me when it loads.

The online calendars and to do-lists can be very helpful, specially for a teacher. There is so much going on daily that one could not possibly remember all that needs to be done. It can keep you on schedule and on time with grades, homework, projects, assemblies, and etc.

I did like the online calendar, but I used to using my phone for all my reminders and things like that. I think it will be better for me as I go into my carreer to start using it.

Thing # 15

I have come to know Wiki in the past and by doing this now I feel like there is so much I have missed out on. I think it is crazy that stuff can be edited. It use to be my main research place, but after finding out that it wasn't as realiable as some had thought we were always told not to use Wiki. I went to the apsu 23 things sandbox and I was thinking about changing something but I couldn't. I don't like to change people's things and I would be thinking about it all night, even knowing it really isn't that horrible of a thing. That's just who I am.

Thing #14

The two I navigated through was Bubbl.us and Mindmeister. I first chose Bubbl.us because I liked the look of it from the 23 things page. Bubbl.us is very user friendly and could really come in handy for teachers. I remember using flow charts in school and to be the one on the other end and creating them for my own use is pretty exciting. Making them is always fun.

Mindmeister was ok, I was not to thrilled on it, but I can understand how some people could. I am going to be working with little kids and big, bold, and colorful is what I will need. Mindmeister seems for more of an older group.

Thing #13

I looked around both Google Docs and Zoho, since I have never been fimilar with either of them. I liked Zoho the best out of the two. I have gotten use to all the different applications like Excel and Powerpoint that Microsoft has to offer, and I really like the fact that both Google Docs and Zoho allow you to store and use all in one pacticular setting, makes things so much more convenient. Where has this been since I first started working with applications? I did find them to be confusing at first but once I spent time on it, it just came to me and then I realized how much of an advantage this is to us. What is even better about it is that you have to pay for Microsoft and Zoho is free, and I like free.

I did make a drawing on Google Docs...
