Comment for Erin's Week 2

I am with Erin on the PowerPoint. I thought it was a really cool and easy way to make a fun activity for students. Wikis were different. If I could chose, I'd stick with the Google Site because the lay out looks more appealing to me. I think Erin had some good ideas for her Wiki and PowerPoint.

Comment on Natasha Week 7 Blog

I was kidn of on the same page with Natasha about learning about making a Podcast. I learned a lot about finding free music to add to a Podcast and I learned that the program, Audicity, was somewhat easy to use. I'm glad to see that Natasha feels she can use a Podcast in a math class. Maybe I can bounce ideas off her so I can use this tool for my students.

Podcasts

I don't think I'm going to use Podcasts in my classroom. It wasn't too hard to make them, but I think Math would be hard to follow without any paper work. Podcasts are really cool idea for the classroom. I think teachers can use podcasts to interests students in a different way.

Rubrics and Tools for the Classroom

This assignment to make a rubric was challenging because it was hard for me to put into words of what I expected students to show in their work. Rubistar was helpful and it helped convey what I wanted to say. The program was very simple to use and it was very quick to turn over a produced product. Wordle was fun to use. I think that it would be fun to use a wordle for key concepts of a particular unit or section of content. Looking for sources for the Tools page on my google site was eye opening because it showed me that I have tons of resources outside of my given textbook.
