Chapter 3 Weblogs: Get Started!
This chapter discusses in depth how to start a weblog. I am planning on using this techonology for my fourth exemplar lesson plan. I hope to start a blog that I can pull back up and use this lesson in my real classroom (depending on what grade I will be teaching!). This chapter was helpful in getting started on the blog.
Chapter 5 RSS: The New Killer App for Educators
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication. This can come in handy in the classroom. You can just set up an RSS feed to see all of the posts from your students, instead of opening each of ther blogs and reading 25 different ones each day. I'm glad they have this technology because now I can just scan through to make sure the students have posted and then choose a few or several to comment on.
Chapter 7 Fun With Flickr: Creating, Publishing, and Using Images Online
I sort of knew about Flickr before this class, but I had never created an account. Now that we have put together a short Flickr presentation, I have realized that this tool can be very useful in the classroom, for any age! You can even send pictures from Flickr to a Weblog or Webpage. Students can also search for a certain location and view other people's pictures from that location.
