Acceptable use Policy

I think an acceptable use policy is a good policy to enforce. I think it is good because it can restrict students from seeing things they should not. I also think it is a way to get students to be able to use and navigate the internet safely.

Blogs

I think blogs are great because they can serve several purposes. I would use it for my educational career to connect with parents and students. I would include what we did that day and pictures so parents can get a visual. I will also use it as a way to give other teachers ideas and lessons. If I were teaching third grade I would use it as a way for students to complete assignments or do a discussion board.

Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking is great because it is a organized way to keep all of your favorite sites without having to write them down or struggle to remember what the site was. I like to use diigo because it is easy to navigate and it is a easier way to keep social bookmarks.

RSS Feeders

Google Docs

Google Docs are good because then you dont have to download a software onto your computer. Your documents will never disapear because it is on your google account and everything is attached to your docs. I also like it because carrying around a jump drive can be a hassle and it can get easily lost. So it is a lot easier to just have all your documents in one place.

Glogster

I made a resume with Glogster. I like the layout of Glogster and it makes information look organized and easier to read. I think you can use Glogster for a lot of different things such as a way to display information for your students. I like how they have several different formats so you can display information.

Pic Monkey

I like PicMonkey because it is free and it is a site that is easy to edit your pictures. I think my future students will like this website because I can teach them how to edit their pictures and it is a fun educational activity. I thought it was really cool how you could edit your picture to whiten your teeth and fix blemishes.

Prezi

I would use pezi to introduce new topics such as the lesson plan I created on the butterfly life cycle. It is a interactive way to teach students. You can do all kinds of  things with Prezi. I think it is a great interactive tool because of how it zooms into each box or circle and it focuses on the information that you are reading.

Twitter

I like twitter cause you can interact with other educators. you can also use it to interact with students on twitter. Students can interact with others from all over the world. You could use twitter to follow other educators and to learn about news in the education world.
