Biking around the sites. Thing #9



Slideshare is a great way for the students to support their oral language presentations. The oral language is the foundation of all of language arts. A better presentation with high quality graphics and features will encourage and motivate students to actually do a better job. It is also allow students to commune presentations in order for them to raise the bar.

Cool Splash and Swim in the Lake! Thing #8





Screencasts are great tool for the computer lab. A few teachers hand write cookbook style of intructions for their computer lab lessons. A few teachers type up cookbook style of instructions. Personally, I bullet a projected Word Document or Flipchart with instructions. This will take my computer lab lesson to another level. Not only is it paperless it has visuals as well. I would like for it to show on the page as the students are trying to access the page they are working on.

Early Morning hike with the Kiddos! Thing #7



On Sundays, PBS plays Nova science videos which my family likes to snuggle down and watch. Little did I know that PBS actually lets you watch them on their page. Cool! I could definately use the Butterfly Migration Video on how the butterfly travels around the United States. The pictures and video images are done very well.

Waking up to Camp breakfast.MMMMMMMmmmmm....Thing #6



There are many applications that can be used in the classroom. I like the photography applications that can enhance students projects. Students don't just try to break copyright laws and Google image a picture. Students can take a picture and use the iTouch applications to make a unique and creative picture for a project. It brings a new level of work ethnic to their projects.
