Thing 23..oops, forgot Thing 15!

I have been checking my RSS occasionally, but not too much. I plan to check more often, and hopefullt this summer I will use it more. It is a great tool, and I love that you have all of the great websites right in front of you!
Today I did read some interesting feeds on a blog I follow about autism fo rmy masters prgram, and I feel that education blogs coudl be really helpful to me!

Thing 23

I really had a great journey doing 23 things. I actually knew a lot more then I thought, but I found a lot of great tools that I can use in my professional, and social life. When completing thing 1, I was so excited to start using technology in my classroom, and after thing 22, I was just as excited. I learned how easy it all really is. I think a lot of people are scared of technology, and feel that it is way over their heads. I have already started using more technology in my own classroom. Even though I have special education students, I have found some great youtube videos, and my whole class has shared watching them together. I have also got my husband involved with wikis, and he is going to create one for his job too! I hope to contintue to explore all the tools 23 things have given me, and I am so happy for this experience!

Thing 22

I think it is so fun to use a wiki! A wiki gives you a lot of different tools that your blog doesn't have, but they are very much alike. I think that if you have a lot of informatiot o give, you should use a blog, but if it is about a specific topic, and for specific users, a wiki is best!

Thing 21

I loved reading about Woodward Academys Wiki. They were reading Turn Homeward, Hannalee, and it gave a bunch of information about what hey were doing. I think This would be great for my students parents to use at home, so they know what is going on in out classroom. Wiki is a great tool, but you just have to make sure you have time for the ipkeep, and keep people interested and involved. I don't think much would get in the way, it is a great online tool!

Thing 20

I suscribed to Eric James Wolf's, the Art of storytelling. I actually already has itunes on my computer, so this thing was very easy for me! I love itunes, and all the it offers!

Thing 19

http://www.storytellingwithchildren.com/
I love this podcast about how to tell stories to children. He is a great author, and it is really cool to listen to! I listen to podcasts all the time. My husband is a poker player, and listens to the pros talk all about there hands, and what they do in certain situation. It is really fun and educational.

Thing 18

What did you like about the presentation you embedded? How might Slideshare be useful in the classroom? out of the classroom?

Below is my shared slide show. I loved the presentation I embeded. As a mom of a two year old, I love learning how to keep him 100% healthy. Slideshare could be very useful in my own classroom. I can look up video that are going along with what I am teaching, adn we can watch them. Out of school I can use them at home, if I am doing any research for my autism masters program!
