Tool 8 Video Resources

Being able to locate appropriate videos and save them to a blog will be a more efficient way of showing videos to my class. I went exploring on uTube and found appropriate videos to begin discussing movement and motion in science.

Tool 7 Digital Story Telling

Movement is all around us. As we go through this unit we will observe movement and motion, experience it , create it, discuss it and finally we will write about it.

Tool 6 Wikis

I have created a Wiki station Ms. Butler's Wiki Station so I can begin using it this year.

We are all globally connected! I found this great video titled Playing For Change - Don't worry and Playing For Change - Stand By Me it made me feel happier about making the changes we need to make for our kids. We all need to relax and enjoy learning the 11 tools.



These videos came from this site: http://bergmannvikings.wikispaces.com/

Tool 5 Tagging & Social Bookmarking

I have joined Diigo and will save web sites to be used in my units. I will be able to organize the sites and send to people on my grade level. I can access them from any computer.

Tool 4 Cool Google Tools

I went into my google reader and subscribed to 5 people at my school that I will be following.

Google Reader gives you the ability to share favorite items with friends by sending links. Adding Google reader to iGoogle gives you the ability to see updates at a glance.

This is a lot to remember. I struggled, so I took notes in a 11 tools notebook I'm keeping for myself.

Tool 3 Image Generators & Mashups

Taking pictures of students working and writing captions about what they are learning could be used at open house. I took pictures from flicker creative commons and used them in Big Huge Labs and Image Chef.

Tool 2 Personal Learning Network

The web gives learners access to powerful learning opportunities anytime and anywhere. This was a powerful statement about networking.

I found the 10 ways to increase comments most helpful. We want to invite comments by: asking questions, being openending showing that comments ar valued by responting, set boundaries which is are skills that need to be taught, use relevant links, add value rather than tear down, be humble,gracious, and reward comments by affervations,and make it easy.

I made comments to The Blooming Blog, A History of Clowder, The Lailes 11 Tools for 21st Century, and Blog It.
