Journal of Learning 5

     Last class we started with Blooms Taxonomy Project. I was with group 2 and I chose remembering and putted link and picture about learn arabic language. I think Blooms Taxonomy is good to share between students. Also, last class we studied Podcasting and how record sound on it and make audio file and how put the pictures and other helpful things. Today in the lab class I work on my project. I chose some Teacher Tube and putted them in my Wikispace. Also, I chose some pictures to use it in my project. In my Opinion this class help me a lot with technology and how to use it inside classroom.

Social Networking Goes to School

By Michelle R. Davis 

      Social networking spread  a lot and it is every where around the world. everyone can use facebook or Twitter or other social networking. Students always excited to use Social networking. most of students have more than one account on social networking. I think  every school  should to create accounts and encourage students to share with teachers there, that make school like one home. In my opinion there is no reason for school class in future becuase the students and teachers can contact with each other by Social networking. Also the class will be not in one city or country but around all the world.

Module 4: Web 2.0 Classroom Ideas

Edmodo: I would use edmodo to contact with students. I will post everything about class there. and make discuss  with students about that.

GoogleDocs: It is really awesome web.  each students can post something and other one can put comment about that. also we can make a chat between us.  I really like it.

DropBox:  It is nice web. you can do great thing with it. we can keep everything with it so, we do not need  print a paper. we can use private part for our special things and if there some things we would to share it with other we can use public part. I think it is helpful for class room becuase we can share with students any things we want.  

DROPitTOme: I like becuase it easy to use. when we use it in classroom to send anythings between teachers and students.

Today I learned more than before and the picture of technology become more clear in my mind. I am happy and feel good about that.

        Last class was very helpful for me. becuase I feel better with technology more than before. I created account in the Only 2 clicks and make it as background to my computer desktop. We opened accounts on the GoAnimte, Voki, Wordle. Also I started to work on my final project and because of I am  as Arabic teacher I would like to  work on create something is helpful to learn Arabic language.

Class Readings 3

Blogs, News feeds, Podcasts, and Wikis in the Classroom.
John G. Hendron
 RSS is simple and helpful. We can but the lecture notes every day after class and students can visit your website every day.
 Weblog (Blog) is helpful for reading and writing.Podcasting is good for sound we can register everything.
 Wiki is easy means to getting content published online. Wiki is great website.
 I think we should use all of them because we get a lot of benefits for our classroom.

Integrating the iPod Touch in K-12 Education: Visions and Vices

Savilla Banister, Mitchell Miller, & Terry Herman

    For me I think iPod is a great and the best technology at this time. everything we need or imaginate is there. There are many ways to use it in classroom because it has a lot of sources and programs. Also we can use it for all the terms. 

The Digital Disconnect

 A recent Pew study

Students consider the internet as first sources and they are really excited to work with technology.   

Are Wikis Worth it?

I think Wikis are worth. with wikis we learn a lot. it is good source. veryone can use wiki and we can write abot any thing there. I like wiki and I think there is no problems with that.

Journal Of Learning

    I like technology but I think the technology does not like me. Why? I do not know. Anything with technology does not work with me at first time and it is always work at second or third time. In this class I will conquer the technology. I think technology does not hard but we need more attention when we use it. Last class we opened accounts in wiki and watched video and teacher explained and helped us in class. In the lab we posted our work and contact with teacher by email.

A Day In The Life Of Web 2.0 & Are Wikis Worth The Time?

A day in the life of web 2.0
David Warlick

      We can write about anything and posted on blog and everyone can check on it and read the blog and learn about topic and activities every day.  That is very helpful if we use it in classroom because everyone can look at it students, parents, administrators, and other teachers. I think the point is communication and the students become better communicators. 



Are Wikis Worth The Time?
 Dean Shareski
 Carol Ann K. Winkler

       Wikipedia is great website to teaching and learning.  With Wikipedia we can understanding of knowledge is changing. Wikipedia is diversity because anyone at any time can write anything in Wikipedia. Wikipedia has more than 750,000 entries in English and more than 1,000,000 in other languages. With Wikipedia we can find information fast and easy more than books. The problem is sometimes there is the lack of a correct or good sources of information in Wikipedia, so we have to be aware about this point and we have to be sure about the sources.

Journal of Learning

 At the first class we knew about the syllabus. Also we make two activities in side the class. In the lab projects we opened our accounts in the Blogger and Smart exchange. I think that is great thing when we use the technology in our classroom. Now we live in technology world and we should to use this technology in every thing in our life.

"Technology Opinions"

     Technology make students understand the subjict fast and easlly, becuase with technology we find the color and sound.

   The biggest hardship is cost. also how to be sure the students use the technology in ac good way not in the bad way.
  
   I hope I will understand technology more than now becuase I am very bad with technology.

Also we can use Power point at everywhere and anytime. for examples,  curriculum and present slideshows, overhead transparencies,instructions for lessons and projects, maps and charts, class notes, and quiz or test reviews and exams. we able to use power point to teach students Language Arts, Math Class, Science, Social Studies and many things else.
