Is it the end or only the beginning??

This has been a long but very informative journey.  Some of my absolute favorite things were using YouTube, making a mash-up, and using Animoto.  These things were fun and very useful.  I plan on using most or possibly all of these tools in my future as a teacher.

I have found some great websites for my future teaching career and I am eager for my classroom to see all the useful things I will have for them to do.  From here, I plan on keeping up with my blog as a teacher.  It will be extremely helpful for my future students because I plan on showing all assignments for them to do during the year to remind them.

It has been a long journey, but I will use these tools for the rest of my life.
Thank you for reading!!!

Thing #23

The idea of 23 Things came from Stephen Abram's 43 Things website.  The other person behind 23 Things is Helen Blowers.  She turned 23 things into a web 2.0 tool

Using Creative Commons will allow teachers to use certain copyrighted information due to it being used for educational purposes.  This will help a lot of teachers out by not making them ask the maker's permission to use their stuff.

Thing #22

The names of my three binders are Language Arts, Hard Times, and Hamlet.  I chose these three binder names because they will pertain to my future subjects when I become a teacher.  

Here is the link to my Langauge Arts binder http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=817563.  These binders will be useful for any teacher because if you click to automatically make a binder using Google, it'll automatically put files in there that pertain to your subject.  This will help all teachers especially since it is not time consuming whatsoever.

Thing #21

Favorite Music
This is my video created on Animoto.  I really enjoyed making this video because it was very easy.  It had pre made backgrounds and music which was great.  Even though it was a short video, I still think it will allow everyone to see what my favorite music is in that short amount of time.

Thing # 20

I absolutely looooove this video.  I think it is so cute and funny and it will brighten anyone's day.  YouTube is such a great website and with it, you can find any video in the world and watch it within seconds.

If the library used YouTube, they could put video tutorials on how to use the library website.  This would be a very convenient thing for students here, considering that it was pretty complicated for me to figure out.

I am currently a member of Facebook, Pandora, Instagram, and YouTube.
Some of the social networks listed are very appealing to me.  I've used last.fm and Project Playlist.  I really enjoyed those so I'll probably join those in the near future.

Thing #18

I feel that when a teacher knows how to social network, they can connect with their students more.  If the teacher makes an effort to reach out to a student, the student will feel more comfortable to talk in the classroom.

I use Facebook daily.  It is so convenient to put a message out to everyone using Facebook. I think that school organizations would get a lot of use out of making a Facebook.  If they get one, they could easily set a status about an event that they're having and everyone will be able to see.

Facebook is amazing and I will be using it for many, many years to come:)
