Is It the End or Only the Beginning?


I cannot wait to get to know all the site and application better. My favorite discover of the 23 things was probably Skydrive because of its online storage capabilities. I think that the program has changed my life very much. Now, I am more organized thing to my new home page 30box. I will definitely keep using most of the applications I discovered in the earlier post because they are great resources for teacher candidates. If I could of change anything about the 23 things, I would change the order they come it, I think that the mind map and the organization application and site could of be helpful for teacher candidates. I wish I had known about my 30box before starting the 23 things then I could have planned out my work schedule and have access to it every time I open my browsers. The things I post and learned about are always going to be and the back of my had and I will definitely use them when I teach when the time is fit. I think getting to know the websites and continuing on exploring them individual will help my development in web 2.0. Continuing on staying connected with social networks like Facebook and TeacherPop will keep me in the loop in web 2.0. also by doing this I will be reinforced with hopefully more applications and sites that will further develop my web 2.0. knowledge.

Thing 23


First, I thought the YouTube create common video was awesome! I my understand creative common and citing information are similar. Give credit where credit is do. If you see idea or something you cannot  or change or use it in anyway without the person consent. I found that according the small paragraph at the bottom of the 23 Things class blog, page the Things was adapted by an the Learning 2.0 program that was designed by Helene Blowers. By being aware of the creative commons teachers can make Powerpoints, study guides, and worksheet based of others' restrictions. They can also make there own Powerpoints, study guides, and worksheet and post them online with restriction of there own.

Thing 22

I think website like Livebinder are great! While I did not understand what it exactly was after reading the blog, I realized what it was. Like I said in Thing 13, a secure place to store information is great. I personally prefer The Skydrive because you can download that unto the desktop but Livebinder is okay as well. I like its tab function that lets you excess it anytime if it is installed. I also like that you can keep it organized by tagging words to it. The creating of the benders was both easy and fun. I just took a few websites from documents from my Skydrive and uploaded them onto Livebinder. The websites are site with art website games based on artists. Livebinder can be use be used in a class from like a studied guide, a image guide, Powerpoint, and note. I definitely think it could be an awesome template for writing a journal.

Thing 19

Like I said in Thing 18, social networking is very important for teachers. I do have a Facebook account, Twitter, MySpace, Deviantart account, upload pictures to two wikias, and Now I am apart of TeacherPop. With websites like TeacherPop member ship is exclusive because there is a common interest. I know it is important for teacher to network with their colleagues because they are like minded individuals.  I choose to join teacher pop because of its name. I thought that the teacher candidates her could catch my attention like the title did. I was not surprise to find other teacher candidates from my Instruction to Technologies class. It looks like they have all settle in and now I am ready to do the same. I cannot wait to start interacting with the other teacher candidates. I have all ready posted a reply to Jeremy, who had the same professor I currently have, and have read posts from my fellow classmates Alexis and Jordan. I suspect that this website is similar to Facebook and MySpace but I will have to explore it thoroughly to decided what I dislike about it.

Thing 21

I enjoy my my video I had now idea that it was gonna turn out like it did. i thought i was gonna be a basic slide show. The music really did help make the slide show seem more captivating. While Animoto's videos look great visual, I just wish it was free. I was all on bored with making it longer until it said I had to upgrade to make it long. While i have played around with a lol of video maker sites out the I have never seen one like this and I think i definitely worth the upgrading so I will definitely visit this site again one day.

Thing 20 oops! Out of order now

I choose the youtube video Modern Masters: Henri Matisse - Documentary - Modern Art, Artist because I recently did a unit on Henri Matisse. I think students especially young one like learning and doing Henri Matisse art activities. Even though, this video is long, one can play the Yotube  videos in segments. All one have to do is decide the time length one wants the video to play, and it will play at that time length. It simple as tying 2:00 and it will play from two minutes into the video. I think a teacher could til utilize it by playing it in a clip. During my observation in my Art Education 3040, my mentor teacher played videos from youtube all the time and even taught me how to put videos into PowerPoints. She told me that she did this because some of the Youtube searches can lead you to inappropriate content.
