Thing 12 LMS

I have experimented with Edmodo and I really like the possibilities. I tried to sue it with a summer technology class I taught last summer. I was not able to continue using Edmodo, as I had originally planned because the students did not have access to computers when not at school.

I am fascinated by the MOOCs and have browsed them when I needed to find information for personal needs.  I especially like the oil.cmu.edu, this is the Carnegie Mellon MOOC. I see the MOOC as the future of education. Perhaps each BOCES district should have a Library type MOOC and the area librarians could contribute to it.  I also enjoy the iTunes University MOOC and have published a lesson on Dewey on the site.


Good reads is also an excellent resource. I like to see what my friends and family are reading to get their advice on good reads.

In this thing, it appears that I have used them more for my own personal enrichment and have not really made them available to students and staff. I will try to mention MOOCS to staff.

Thing 11

I added a pin for my favorite beach, Rehoboth Beach in Delaware to the collaborative map.


I played around with the Google maps 3D version


I plan to create a QR scavenger hunt for our PBIS team. I need to work with the team to create questions. I will bring this idea up at the PBIS meeting on  this Wednesday. I will share what we create soon.

Thing # 9

Thing 9 It's been real fun
I use libguides and have found some good ideas by looking at other schools/collegeslibguides.
PHS has libguides

Lately I have been adding to a Livebinder and also have found good resources other people have collected in livebinders. Im curentl taken a class that requires me to post my work in my livebinder.
I think I will pursue Livebinders in the future

I used Google docs and I learned how to make quizzes really great for this.

I also started a James Patterson Pintereet for teachers that love James Patterson to respond to and post comments

Class was full of great information

Hey, I'm still participating just been so busy with school work.

Thing #6 I have used curration tools such as delicious, and pintereset for my personal enjoyment but to be honest I have not made use of them at school. I had a hard time bonding with learni.st.I'll keep trying.

Thing # 6 curation Her's my learn board I could not get the embed code to work. Learni.st http://learni.st/users/65312/boards/12686-national-parks

About thing 5

I have used photopeach, glogster, prezi, voki, voic thread etc Even some of the comic strip tools. I have an overload of tools and I'm finding it hard to sort them out right now. I was browsing storify and scoopit but need to look at them again at another time.  . The tools are great and it's fun to create with them. I use for my class/lesson presentations but the studenst are not catching on. I have had sucess with prezi and photopeach so, far.  Glogster was free for a class but I have used all my accounts.

I tried to create a Pikto chart. I can think of some great uses for this but not sure about students creating accounts at school etc.
I have experince with many of the other presentaton tools.

Thing #4  "Photo Sharing

I created a trading card in BigHugelabs, Really fun! I want to create a puzzle next. Our ninth grade "Careers" class makes word document trading cards.  So , I will suggest that we try using this photo sharing website in the future.
