THE COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO GOOGLE FREE TOOLS FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS

Website for Student Led Conferences

I promised you that I would show you an example of Voice Thread for student led conferences.  Here is the article on how to create a voice thread for students followed by a student example.  It is quite an amazing tool!  Here it is: Digital Portfolio   Let me know what you think.

Adult Education Technology Blog

I have created an Adult Education Technology Blog. In this space we can share ideas and ways you are either using technology in the classroom with students and/or how you would like to improve your skills of integrating technology in the classroom. As a facilitator, it would be beneficial if I would have an idea of what types of skills you would like for your students to demonstrate so I can better gear next week's session.   Also, I have included a link to a wiki in which you can post great websites that you presently use and new ones you may have stumbled upon.  Good Luck and I look forward to reading your blogs.  Click on the link to add resources:  http://sharonchasse.pbworks.com/w/page/59614929/Introduction

How to Add a Post

If you would like to add a post, you simply click on add post on the upper right hand side of the screen.  A word program will pop up and you can start typing using the tools above.  You may link websites by clicking link, add photos, and videos.  Make sure you are in the compose mode unless you get real fancy and would like to embed something using HTML.  I can show you this next class.  Make sure when you are done typing you click SAVE and then PUBLISH.  You can then view the blog.  Also, if you need to make changes to your blog after you publish it, all you need to do is click the pencil at the bottom of your blog and it will bring you back to your original document.

If you would like to comment on another person's blog, you can go ahead and click on the comment, a text box will show up and you can type at will.  I will not be screening the comments (you can do that), because I am sure that this group will use the comment box in a constructive manner.

Question:  How do you think you could use blogs in the classroom?  Would you like to learn how to create your own blog?
