Exploration 17: Final Thoughts

This has been an awesome experience. I can't believe how much I've learned and how much more there is to know. I am so happy I did these explorations. I now feel like I am at least familiar with some of the capabilities of Web 2.0. I believe that I will try to really use a few of the tools I explored this summer. I'll start with a blog to communicate with my students. I will continue to update my LibraryThing. Rhonda and I have also volunteered to share the capabilities of Google Docs with the Reading Department so we can collaborate on forms we all use.

Fun in the sun with summer reading!

Ok - it's not a link, but if you copy and past you'll hear my podcast.

Exploration 16: Podcasting

Well, that was fun and easy too. It was relatively simple to record a podcast...now I'll see if I can post a link on my blog. This would be a fun and motivating way for students to share all kinds of learning. They could recite poetry, do an oral report, interview, or commercial. I used my podcast to encourage my students to keep up on their summer reading. Let's see if I can add the link:
