Podcasting

I would like to use ready made podcasting in my classroom. I wish there was a way to save in the itunes store so that no matter what computer you were on, the podcast would show up in a playlist or something. That would be very convenient. But, that is not the case. So, the best way to get around this is to write it down. If anyone has a better way, let me know. Thanks!

I have made podcasts of my own in the past. The students love to make them. It does take time, equipment, and space. Remember that!

This is a picture of the ocean floor in Jamaica. I could get this picture from Flicker uploaded by another person. There were 330,000 pictures that I could use for this about Jamaica. It sends it directly to your blog if you enter your blog into flicker.

Flicker, Delicious

I like the idea of flicker and delicious. I did put some of my pictures on Flicker today. It was very easy. I would like to make myself find the time to do that with all of my photos. I can make the photos private. My daughter uses snap fish. It does a similar task. It did come in handy for her since her computer recently picked up a virus and won't open. I like the idea of tagging my pictures because I am really bad at that on my computer at home. I usually have all sorts of trouble finding what I am looking for. I will save a lot of time using good tags for my pictures.

I love the idea of delicious. I have begun to put all of my bookmarks on delicious. I love it that you can open your bookmarks at any computer station that you are currently at. I still have to put the buttons on my personal laptop. Since I take my computer to school with me, I will be able to open my bookmarks at school also. Nice application!

teacher and student use of blogs

I have found a spot to register for skype. I have never used skype before, but this location helps people find others who would like to skype between classrooms. You put your information on the site and wait for others to respond. You could also check through the list to reply to someone that you might be interested in participating with your classroom using skype. The location is http://skypeintheclassroom.wordpress.com/

Blogging session 2

Well, I have learned how to add several things to my blog just because I had the time to try. I've also read about the security issues. Always be sure blogger.com is in your address bar before putting in your password. Good advice if you don't want anyone to end up causing damage to your computer. Look around in the gadgets. There are so many more ideas to put into your blog that will save you time or entertain others.

More fun than blogging

How my teaching will change because of technology

• how your teaching and your students' learning will change this next year due to what you've learned this week in this workshop.

I will be using a lot more technology. Depending on what equipment I can get in my room, I will be also having the students creating with technology. I really like talking on the cell phone to create a podcast. This is technology that is available because a lot of my students have cell phones. We could or I could coordinate pictures from where they are participating in a lab with their comments from their phones. This idea could get really funny. I found a web quest about acids and bases to determine the problem of acid rain in a location. I saved it on my Wiki to use when we study acids and bases. Here, I will have to get access to computers for a couple of weeks.

Talking on my cell phone

A Shift in Teaching

Today, we talked about a shift in teaching. I found it interesting that students feel they can be more themselves and get to know more about themselves using technology. This is because they have to create while they are completing learning. They must choose different styles to share their findings. They might be using Pod casts or Power Points in which they must be creative while responding to their teacher or the students in their classroom. I never thought of that before.

Students in my classroom always have their cell phones with them. They are suppose to be in their lockers and turned off. Lucky for me, they keep them with them. In science class, we use them for calculators and timers. That saves the district money. The video "Paying Attention" on You Tube discusses that lots of students walk around with high powered computers in their pockets that they are told to turn off. I feel we should take advantage of what they have. One negative in our district is that lots of students don't have the money for the technology and can't share. Yet, they get the advantage of using the other students which helps them grow even though they can't afford it.

I have had students at our school make Pod casts of a trip to Washington D. C. They still remember that experience. Since then, my access to technology has become more limited. So, that is out of the question this year. I am pushing for more laptops in our high school. We will see.

Hi, my name is Lu Ann Lauer. This is my first blog. I am currently taking a technology class at Malone University. I am glad to be here to complete some hours and get some info. about new uses for technology.
