Update

I've been working hard in my EDCI 505 class and so I thought I'd give an update on some of the things that have stuck out so far.

Twitter

I happen to like Twitter. I know there are many who don't get it, but I haven't looked back since starting it. I already had my own account and managed the accounts of a few businesses in the past. I believe it is an absolutely must have source for teachers. Maybe not so much for working with the class itself (yet there are uses for that tool, but I think getting ideas for the classroom and socializing with other educators is a big plus. You can follow my education Twitter account in the sidebar to the right.

Glogster

I love the idea of Glogster. I think it's cute, creative, and that it will really stand out with kids. But I hate, Hate, HATE, the interface. What a major pain in the rear!  Uploading photos and videos is similar to pulling my teeth out with my fingernails; it'll work eventually, but you gotta keep at it till it happens.

Here is the Glog I created:

Wiki

I'll admit, I didn't even understand what a wiki was before starting this class, but now I really like it. I can see how I can use it as an easy resource of information for my students or how it could be used as a class project. It is very easy to use and I think kids would enjoy having control over information in this kind of environment. You can see the wikis I've created by clicking HERE and HERE.
