Chapter 6 - Teaching with Educational Websites and Other Online Resources

This blog post deals with websites that allow organization and outreaching, as well as cooperation between educators. I created a brainstorming diagram using a site called “Bubbl.us.” I think the lot of us can agree that the internet’s use in classrooms will only increase from here on out, and so I assert that social bookmarks, RS feeds, Information alerts, and virtual field trips can play a strong hand in education today.

Here is that brainstorm diagram I created:

A virtual field trip to an unfortunately unspecified Denver museum!

Meanwhile, a simple tutorial on using bubbl.us. Geared towards lesson plans.

Chapter 9 - Creating and Sharing Information with Multimedia Technologies

I created a post on Padlet about the way that technology can aid and better a lesson. Padlet is interesting; I think that a lot of students would find the format of Padlet to be fun and creative. However, the more shy may be intimated to post in a place where the rest of their class can see it. An educator will most likely know which of their students are disposed to this kind of hesitation, and should be able to ease the class into that kind of peer related posting.

Created with Padlet

Here's a video on how to use Padlet!



Hmm...I'll stick with technological bulletin boards.
