Thing 21

I am always on the look out for new tools to use with students.  Sixth graders are completed embedded in technology form cell phones, e-readers and even the TV they watch.  Having creative ways for them to express their learning using technology is really engaging for them. 

I have several favorite discoveries from the course.   Diggo and Feedly were my personal favorites.  Setting up a blog was also very helpful and I discovered it was much easier than I thought. The self paced format is huge for me this year.  My kids are all over the place and this has really helped.  I could see a version of this class being taught in the summer.  It was a bit difficult with the beginning of the year to find a groove with the course. 

I found the class to be very helpful and worth my time.  It helped me find even more tools for teaching both for use with students and for managing resources.
