After going through this course and learning about different technology tools, please write a post entitled the Top 10 Tech Tools I Can’t Live Without.
1. Facebook- I love being connected with my parents from past classes, especially those that move because then I can still see my students and keep up with my babies.
2. Twitter- I did not realize that I would actually like the educational organizations and people I followed
3. Power Point- great way to let students add information they have learned to different slides. It is also a great way to organize main points in a lesson- which also keeps the teacher on track ;)
4. Starfall.com- It is definitely the main "hub" for our computer literacy center. Especially since you can assign different books along with learning letters and sounds
5. Wikis- even though it was extremely difficult to figure out I can definitely see their benefit in the classroom. My students were really excited when they got to edit a real website.
6 and 7. Projector/ELMO- I could not do everything that needed to be done in my classroom without these two pieces of technology.
8. Animoto- I thought that this was a really great way to get kids interested in the new topic we are learning.
9. Bubbl.us- I think that this would be a great thing to let my kids use as a technology project instead of a powerpoint.
10. glogster- Again, another great tech tool to get students interested in the new topic we are studying. I like how it is quick and to the point.
