This is my first attempt at using Glogster. Glogster is very user-friendly and has a lot of creative templates and graphics. I originally wanted to create an Earth Day poster in Spanish, but I had a hard time uploading photographs of student projects. It may have just been my internet connection, but after trying for an hour I scrapped that idea and made an España poster just with pictures and images from the internet.
ReplyDeleteI just created an account on delicious.com to bookmark my favorite Spanish class websites. The delicious bookmarking tool is one that I will use all the time. Up until now I've never kept tracked of the websites I frequent for class. I've had to just do new searches each time. What's great about using delicious is seeing what other websites the people who have visited the websites I bookmarked are also using.
ReplyDeleteI made a sample Spanish Club Roster using Google Docs. I love Google Docs and wish I would have thought of actually using one for Spanish Club this year. It would allow the other Spanish Club sponsor and our officers to all add information and update the application status of students using the same document. The same goes for our field trip rosters and attendance at meetings.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Reader is great! I just signed up for it and can already see how much time it will save me! I created separate folders for English language news and Spanish language news. It's a great way to get the major local headlines from several different countries without having to go each newspaper's website individually. I've also added a folder for teacher blogs that I frequent.
ReplyDeleteI created an educational wiki account. I can see how useful using a wiki could be for my students when they are doing group projects. Each member of the group can contribute to and edit the page from their own computer without the group having to get together. The example shown of the class that created a text book was very impressive and shows how valuable wikis can be. The example of the friends planning a camping trip was good as well though for something like that I'd rather use google docs. It's much easier and everything is saved as you go.
ReplyDeleteI created a wiki page for practice. It's not one that I will use in my classroom, but I wanted to practice adding pictures and embedding a video. The link is at the top of the page.
I created a digital book using pimpampum.net. It was super easy to do, you just use photos from Flickr. I found some beautiful images of Mexico to put together in a digital book. When I made the book cover it was able to display accent marks and tildes, but when I published it, it didn't display correctly. The cover should say, "México Lindo y Querido por Señorita Temple." I often make powerpoint presentations to show my classes images from the different countries we are studying in Spanish class. This is a much easier and faster way to the same thing. I will definitely put together more digital storybooks to use in my classes next year.
ReplyDelete"Animoto: the end of slideshows." Of all the Web 2.0 Tools I've been learning about and trying out, Animoto is my favorite. It was the easiest tool to use yet. It took static images and presented them in a lovely little video that is much more appealing than Power Points and the digital storybook I created. This a great tool that I will use in the classroom and encourage my students to use as well.
