The assignment this week was on Web 2.0. "All though the term
Web2.0, an Internet trend that puts the authorship of online content into the hands of a websites' users, has become very common in educational circles, what educators are hearing more about today are discussions around social networking." (Roblyer&Doering,2013,p.225). " Social networking sites are MysSpace.com,Facebook.com, Google Plus, which focus on building communities of individually web pages consisting of personal profiles,blogs,photo slideshowes,music and videos, podcast,and a network of connected friends or supporters"(Roblyer&Doering,2013,p.225). I've had the pleasure of using web 2.0 resources this week glogster, animoto, and classtools. All of these resources are ways to engage students in different and fun activities. These resources "are readily available and relatively easy to use, presentation software is often hypermedia authoring tool of choice for classroom integration and use.(Roblyer&Doering,2013,p.187). "Given the complexities and proliferation of various media, an understanding of media basics is a fundamental skill for the Information Age"(Roblyer&Doering,2013,p.184). All the resources were easy to use and will be used much more in my classroom. Globster is a great way to present information to the class. Animoto is a great way to review content skills taught in a animated way. Classtools was my favorite. The students will really enjoy playing arcade games to review skills.

Great job on your 2.0 web resources! Your graphics were vivid and interesting. I think all three of them would be great to use in the classroom!
ReplyDeleteCute game! The students will be engaged and review their understanging! Your animoto can be used as an exit ticket or bellringer!
ReplyDeleteI love the states of matter! The colors you used contrasted well. I wonder if we can cotinue to use throughout the year. This would be a great starter for my Chemistry class!
