Summary

If you haven't realized it yet then you must be just as bad as me, I am a HUGE procrastinator. And I apologize. However, I am very proud of myself for getting this done. :)

The APSU 23Things really is very useful. At the same time though, I am doubtful on how much of all the technology I used and whether or not I will use it in my classroom, but only time will tell. I hope I am still enthusiastic enough once I get there.

I did enjoy doing all of it though and certainly learned a lot. Things I never knew you could do with a computer I did, and that is pretty impressive on my part. Since I'm not the most savvy at computers.

Thing #23

Plagiarism=death in college. That is why teaching students in high school the real importance of what not to do. Creative Commons is the perfect way to do that.

After fooling around with it, it becomes easier and easier, and it really breaks it down for you. I will definitely have my kids use the website in my classroom, especially for the research papers I am going to expect them to do.

It's time for people to start realizing that taking people's work without asking or citing them, is wrong.

This podcast is from the Learn Out Loud website. I love science, no brainer, and this is a perfect one to use. I think Podcasts are great for students and can be used a lot at home, like powerpoints. It just keeps things a little more interesting. Learn Out Loud was the easiest website for me to use.

Youtube is the best thing to kill time with. Thank goodness I knew what I was looking for. I love Youtube and so does everyone else. I will definitley use it my classroom for turtorials and even allow my students to make a Youtube video for a presentation.

Thing #19


Find more photos like this on TeacherPop


I really like TeacherPop and I will definitley sign up for it in the future. It is something that would be worth signing up for and being able to keep in touch with other teachers. This would be the first community that I would join.

Thing #18

Facebook and Myspace....tisk, tisk. It only promotes procrastination.

However, these sites are very useful websites when it comes to social interaction. Sometimes that is good and sometimes it is not. Professors and employers can use these websites to watch what their students are doing.

Some people see it as unprofessional and discourage the use of these at all.

I feel like facebook is more friendly to the college students and adults, while myspace if more for middle and high schoolers.
