In class I learned even more about designing with technologies and how I could use different designing tools in the classroom. If students are interested in math, science, and design they would probably love using the architecture tools. I think every student would love designing on RollerCoasterTycoon. CreatingMusic is a tool that would be great for students to practice their musical talents and learn how to "create" music.
Skype was the cool tool Sarah presented. It was so cool to "meet" her mom through this technological tool and she shared an idea on how we can take students on virtual field trips. I also enjoyed learning about TalkShoe and it's many capabilities. TalkShoe allows you to have virtual conversations with others who have a talkshoe account. I liked the "Free English Corner" talk cast and think that it would be useful for English Language Learners. LiveMocha was definitely my favorite cool tool shown today. I am going to Paris in the fall and do not know much French, so hopefully this tool can help me learn some before I head there in 4 weeks :). Students could also use this site to practice their English skills.
Andy shared a contemporary issue on online dating. I have never been a fan of meeting people this way, but I know many people have feel in love with someone they met on the internet. Like she said, people need to be careful about their information (money, etc.) when meeting people over the internet. In reality, you could meet someone in person who is a scam artist but at least you can see them and talk to them face-to-face rather than communicating through the internet. We just need to make sure we are careful in every situation to promote our safety! There are crazy people in this world and we could meet them in person or on the internet.
I'm excited to go work on our stop-animation! Be on the lookout for our video!
