SlideBoom Presentation

I think the presentation with PowerPoint is more effective than video. It brings the lesson before the students eyes by providing larger visuals along with text. The video version is ok to use if the learner is sitting at the computer and researching the information for themselves. I would prefer seeing the text where I can take notes rather than hearing the video. The images I used provided students with a view of what they were using everyday. They may have seen these tools on the computer but never knew their names or the purpose of the address, menu, tool bar, etc. The addition of text adds to the message being portrayed in the images. It explains what the images talking about which is the sharing of knowledge. Students can use SlideBoom to search and share presentations with other people. These are live PowerPoint presentations with animations and narrations. They also can learn new information by searching for informational presentations. I don't see myself using SlideBoom alot to share presentations with friends, but I am glad I learned how to add narrations to PowerPoint. This will definitely be a handy tool I can use in the future.

I visited educational videos on how to use or not to use PowerPoint effectively for presentations. YouTube and TeacherTube are great ways to learn information from videos. The videos can show you step by step instructions on how to use PowerPoint,Excel, Word, etc. My son would use YouTube to watch videos, but I never had a interest in the site. I thought it was just for watching videos. Now I know better. These sites are great ways for students to learn how to do things with instructions provided. They can learn alot of new information also by searching for anything they choose. I would use these sites with students to learn, as mentioned before, PowerPoint or to gather information. Both sites provide a means for students as well as professionals to learn and share information. I like both sites and will use them in the future.

Thing #17

I previewed The Tech Teachers and The TechPodzone podcasts. I have really become interested in technology from this class. I really love how I can create blogs and subscribe to articles and podcasts in Google Reader. I listened to The Tech Teachers Show and 21st Century Skills-Web 2.0. I want to learn all I can about technology because I have been afraid and clueless. Now I am excited about the prospect of using all I have learned. I think everything I am learning is so cool and innovative. I like the idea of creating and using podcasts. Through this excitement, in a way I wish I was back in the classroom to use all I have learned with students. After this class, I think I would enjoy being a computer or technology teacher. I would definitely use podcasts with students. I think anytime technology is used students would be motivated to learn. They would enjoy recording podcasts commercials, health programs, shows, etc. They could put their podcasts on the school website. No I have never used podcasts with my former students or in my personal/professional life. I am just learning about them. I would definitely use them with students in the classrom to enhance learning and introduce them to the world of technology.

LibraryThing is a great tool for people who love reading books. Although I admit I am not a frequent book reader. It allows readers to create a catalog of their favorite books. What a great way to remember what was read and recommend the book to other people. I can see this as a valuable tool in the classroom and in someone's personal life. In the classroom, students can keep track of all the books they have read and their favorites. LibraryThing is like joining a book club online. Students can share books with their classrooms while adding reviews and recommendations. This could be a way to really get students reading. They can also know who is reading the same books they like. Students could create graphs to see which books are being read the most and the least. LibraryThing is a great tool for people who love reading books and join book clubs like Oprah once had on her show. I can see the benefits of using LibraryThing in and out of the classroom.

I admit I am not a fan of Delicious. I would prefer adding my favorite websites to Favorites or Bookmarking them. Even though Delicious makes them more organized, I have no problem finding my favorite websites in my Favorites folder. I think it is time consuming to go to Delicious instead of just clicking on Favorites while you are in Internet Explorer. Nevertheless, here are 7 websites I chose that dealt with Web 2.0 Tools. I am excited about learning some of these tools, but some are a waste of time or similar to other methods. I found a cool website called slideshare that has PowerPoint presentations from different professional fields. If I want education, I can just chose education, business, etc. Some sites are unique and would be valuable to me in my personal and professional life. Students could see examples of PowerPoints and learn how they should be done. I really like this site and would recommend it to other professionals.
