Today I gave my cool tool presentation on sliderocket. I really like this tool and believe I will use it in the future. I also enjoyed the other cool tools introduced: Flickr and Polleverywhere. I love taking pictures so flickr is definitely a tool that sparked my interest!
Will virtual schools or other forms of technology cause me to lose my job in the future? I sure hope not! I'm not too worried about that, but you never know what could happen in this crazy world. :) Even though Katie didn't mention teachers in particularly, she did mention how technology has caused some people to lose jobs and asked how we can create jobs using technology and encourage students to be prepared for a "skilled" workforce in order for them to be successful.
Stop-motion animation was introduced and it is a very interesting tool. I did not have a clear understanding of what it was before today and now I am excited to use it with my class! Jeff mentioned using it as an alternative assessment which would give students a break from the traditional pencil and paper method. I'm all for the alternative assessments. :) It will be fun creating a stop-motion animation with peers in our class. Our topic of "texting and driving" should make for an interesting animation!
Scratch is going to be time consuming, but after learning about it more in class I feel more prepared to start my project!
