Week 9 Thing 23 The End of The "23" Journey!

Wow! I can't believe this is the end... In the beginning, I really did not know what to expect. I went in being optimistic though.. I do have to say that some Things were not easy... My favorite is the Rollyo and learning that Wikis are not so Evil... I hope that Region One will keep us updated to more workshops. I will definitely love to keep on with my lifelong learning.
My goals are to educate my students about what I learned this summer, although, I would not doubt that they already know, technology speaking, they are always one step ahead. I will however create a blog about the novels we will read in class...
I hope to enroll in many more programs like this one.If I could describe my learning experience in one word- CHANGE--- Everything I learned this summer due to my ability to CHANGE the way I feel about technology. I only hope that those that are set in their old school ways will be willing to CHANGE as well. There is so many tools online that will add value and interaction to the way the students learn.

Week 9 Thing 22 E books

As an avid reader, I love that there are free sites to download books. I teach an ESL class and I really love the Gutenburg Project. I even volunteered once to read a story for this project. I have also recommend these sites to my students who find it difficult to locate a specific novel. Until their novel comes in, they can go to the World Ebook site and download certain chapters. I only hope that there will be more volunteers to read and upload more novels than there are now.

Week 9 Thing 21 Podcasts

My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-c5d4001f0ee01285844a92c6b12d8262}


I decided to go to PodcastAlley.com and since I love to travel, I chose the travel icon and found a pod cast to Disney World/ My family is thinking about traveling there in a few years so this podcast explains all there is to know, it is quite helpful....

Week 9 Thing 20 YouTube




My students actually introduced youtube to me a few years back. I now use it quite a bit. Since we will be reading the Twilight series next year, I found the movie trailer.I will use youtube, however for book trailers I use our library website.Thats a cool wesite, although I can't think of it right now.

Week 8 Thing 19 This Library Thing!

I loved this website. I'm definately going to use this site with my students. They will have to go ont he site blog each other about the books we read in class and I will take that for a grade. This is my favorite by far...

I even read blogs from other people about my choice of books.
