Intro-video and paragraph

I think the intro-video and paragraph go good with standard 3b.  I think an intro video is a good way for students to introduce themselves to each other.  I think everyone enjoys making and watching short videos so this could be a project for the students to show their friends and family.  The intro video would be a good way for teachers to introduce their self and the class.  I would really life to use this in my class because it would help the students remember things about each other no matter the age. 

Ghostery

                Ghostery goes along with standard 4a.  Ghostery can teach students ways to be safe when on the internet.  Ghostery is an add on on Firefox that tracks who is watching you on the internet.  Ghostery lets you know who is watching and allows you to block unsafe followers.  Ghostery will show students how unsafe the internet is. 

Facebook

I think the Facebook assignment goes with standard with 4d.  Facebook can allow you to learn about different people’s cultures and life styles.  I really liked the Facebook assignment we did.  If I taught collage or high school I would do something like this.  The Facebook assignment showed us all that you do not need to post bad things on Facebook.  You may view yourself one way but someone who sees your Facebook may see you as a bad or mean person.  I think students would like being able to show their Facebook and it would make them think before they posted things.

 

Concept Map

                I think the concept map goes along with NETS standard 3D.  A concept map is good for organizing your information.  Concept maps are also good things to use when you are introducing a lesson.  You can have pictures and key words you want to talk about on the map.  I think students like concept maps because they are simple and easy to follow.  Concept maps are good for older students to use when writing papers. I would get my students to make a concept map to turn in with their paper.  The concept map would help them organize their thoughts for the paper.  

Voki

Voki goes along with standard 2a.  Voki can show the students there are tools on the internet to help them learn.  I would definitely us Voki in my classroom.  I think Voki would be a great way to introduce a topic.  You could also create Vokis to play the role of an important person, like George Washington.  I think the students would really like hearing information coming from someone/something else besides just the teacher.  I think Voki would get young students at the edge of their desks paying really close attention.

Webpage

I think the webpage would go along good with standard 3c.  The webpage would allow me as a teacher to communicate information and ideas to my students and their parents.  If I was teaching younger grades it would allow parents to keep up with what their children are doing and provide extra work and crafts they could do with their children.  The parents would always know when their child has a test coming up and if any parties or field trips are coming up. 

Extranormal

Extranormal goes along good with standard 5d.  I think this is a good recourse for students to us to teach the class something.  Students can make two people interact and teach a lesson on safety or teach about good teaching methods.  Teachers could make these video their selves if they taught younger grades.  I think older kids would like creating something using Extranormal because of all the cool things you can make the characters do.   

Movie Maker

                I think the movie maker goes along with 1c.  The movie maker allows students and teachers to reflect on a subject and plan and organize it into a movie.  I like that movie maker was easy to use.  I think students would like for teachers to integrate the movies into their lesson.  The movie maker would be an easy project for students to do about their life.  The movie maker allows students to be creative while learning about a great recourse.
