This was my very first experience using any of these web resources. Glogster was very interesting. I used the flyer template. This would be very useful inside of my classroom. I could use this as an interesting way to create a study guide for the students. There are a variety of template designs, one I will definitely be using which has the sub note design. Animoto is a great way to see what the students know. I would set aside Animoto as a review for students. Students will be able to create a video that will show their knowledge of the subject that they are being tested on. I also created games. I would use this as one of my centers during intervention. The students will have the opportunity to play games as well as get a review of the subject matter. These were some great web resources that are available for teachers. Chapters 6 backs up my idea of allowing the students to create presentations. According to the text, having learners become the designer creates a learning domain with integrating technology. (Roblyer M. Doering A. , pg 188 2008) Students have these different web resources that will give the students the opportunity to explore things right inside the classroom. There are many different virtual environments. The texts gives information about virtual field trips. These resources will be very beneficial to a class wiki. Chapter 7 defines the word wiki as a collection of webpages located in an online community that encourages collaboration and communication on a daily basis. (Roblyer M. Doering A. , pg. 223, 2008) Students need learning communities to be a reinforce when they are not at school. This learning community can be a social network just for the students that are in that specific class. Students will have the web resources to use to help them gain a better understanding of a specific lesson that was taught. In the state of Alabama there is an ARMT writing test. There are so many web resources available that will help students. Glogter has different maps and outline templates available. Students could use those online materials to brain storm their ideas. The concept maps would allow them to put their ideas together. Chapter 9 discusses those maps and the usefulness they will have inside the classroom. When it comes to students in higher grade levels that are given writing assignments this would be very handy for them. The learning community, web resources, and technology integration will create a very engaging and successful learning environment.

I'm like you. This was my first time using these resources. I think they can be very helpful in the classroom, however, some are more confusing and time-consuming than others. Glogster is neat, but it took me a while to get familiar with it. Also, I've noticed that it uses a lot of data (and for someone on a data plan, like me, that's important) and it takes a very long time to load. I'm kind of impatient when it comes to things like that. So, I've decided I'm not really a fan of Glogster. But I'm glad I was able to discover it and play with it a little. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI thought your Animoto and Glogster pages were beautiful. What an attractive way to teach your lesson! I know that children would definitely be engaged simply by looking at the graphics on your pages. These resources are amazing. You seem to already be brainstorming about how to use the Web 2.0 resources in your classroom. I am excited about the new school year and have so many ideas brewing in my mind with all the new things that I have learned.
