Tool 7

Photo Story is unbelievable. I can't believe I just made this cool video on the sun.

The funny thing is it was way easy!!

The students could make their own photo stories on our next science unit.

Love it!!

Tool 6

Wikis



Well I am embarrased to admit that I did not know that Wikipedia was a Wiki. So, 11 Tools is doing it's job by teaching me so much.......



Now that I know what a "wiki" is I checked out the "Curriculum Wiki" on the Library Resource Page. It had a lot of information......I Pad info, Photostory and how it works, and so much more.

The "Wiki" would be a great tool to use in science lab when the students are doing an experiment. Students could put down information they are learning then share with other students using the wiki.

Love it!!

Tool 5

I have found two websites that I have bookmarked on "Diigo"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/


http://http://www.livemocha.com/

Social bookmarking can be such a great tool to us in the classroom.


The Live Mocha website is great. I am trying to learn a new language and this website is wonderful. We also have several students in our class that could benefit from this website with the language barrier.


The science website KS3 Bitesize is great for review. The site gives students a chance to revise, then an activity, then a test. Great site.

Tool 4

Google Docs - wow this is going to be so cool to use with the students. I uploaded lab notes to all the fifth grade students. After each science lab, I will upload the notes from that day.

Google Reader - love that you can add a subscription to a blog and get updates on one page about all the blogs you are following. I love seeing what others have posted and the commets.


I am learning so much from 11 Tools - it is like shoe shopping in New York City there is a treasure in every store.

Tool 3

Wow....what fun generators.
I love Spell with Flickr the students would love using science words and making them different.
I will use "Word It Out" all the time. It will work so well with science vocabulary words that we have each week in lab. What a fun why for students to make a word wall.

I enjoyed Tool 3.

Tool 2

Professional Learning Community:

Having a PLN is of great benefit for teachers wanting to grow and expand their knowledge base.
I find that when I have a group of teachers to share ideas with, I learn new and exciting ways to be a better teacher.

Commenting:
I love what Cool Cat Teacher had to say about commenting. Making comments that are relevant and personal to the blogger are great ideas.

My five blogs that I am following are:
Dorothy Bean http://dorothybean.blogspot.com/
Math Rules http://seracentanni.blogspot.com/

Setting up my blog is so much fun.....
