1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox? Briefly describe a particular activity that you will plan for your students using at least one of these new tools.
I will plan to use the apps as an extention to my lessons. I know the students will really enjoy learning from technology. Technology will help enhance there learning.
I didn't realize that we had the ablilty to create a live document and have your co-workers add or remove things from it, without sending it back and forth through email attachments.

Tool #11
I would teach my students digital citizenship basically the same way I teach it in my real classroom. I would explain our TRIBE rules and we would discuss how we would apply them to our online uses. We would also discuss how to communicate properly online. I would just do a lot of modeling of what is right and what is wrong usage.
Tool #10
1. Some of the free apps that I viewed were henhouse, math race, and making tens. These apps would be great to use for ordering numbers, math facts, and making tens on a ten frame.
2.
I love how easy it is to get the apps and that there is a lot to choose from. It is such a privilege to have math game on the itouches. I can just see my studnets focused on what they think is playing, but what they are actually doing is learning!
3. Discuss ways your students could use the iTouch or iPad and appropriate apps in your class.
My students could use the itouches in a station. There could be games and activities on there based on what we are learning to help expand their knowlege. The itouches can also be used as a great motivator for some of our students.

I really like the screencasting! This would be a wonderful way to have my student share their ideas with other students acroos the grade levels, other schools in our district or even the world. I also think that we can use this in our conferences with parents or other teachers.

The first video is a "magic School Bus" video on the parts of a plant which I can use in science. The 2nd video is a counting video to help my ELL learners learn the numbers in English.

Tool #7
I really enjoyed using photostory. It's a great way to share photos! I would use photo story in my classroom by getting my students to reach some pictures of an animal or a topic that they are working on. They can write text and then present their photostory to the class.
tool #6
WIKI..... What a GREAT idea! I think this will make it a great way for our team to plan our lessons and also for our team meetings.

I found these two websites thqt will help my students. Enchanted learning gives them many different activities about a lot of great topics.
Social bookmarkering will help me organize my favorites and also help the students have my favorites availble for them as well. For example they will be able to view and log on to my favorites and use them on their computers at home.

Google doctuments will help us as teachers greatly. We can now post a document or presentation and all the teachers can view it and twick it when necessary. Also with the use of google doc. I think it will benefit our students. For example they can post their writing samples and the other students can help edit it with them.

Tool #2
1. What are your thoughts about building an online education community and participating in a PLN?
I think its an easier way to communicate with my teachers on my team.
2. What point stood out to you from the commenting advice?
I think the PLN is a great way to get quick responses for feedback to all teacher-leaners. I also liked the point about finding trusted resources to help with our interests.
3. What five blogs did you select for your comments? (you may need to come back and add this information later by editing this post.) TBA
