Freeware

Ok, so I am really far behind when it comes to downloading music. My students were showing me today how they can download a file converter for free. The converter allows them to select a You tube video and convert it to a few different file formats such as MP3. My students said that there rarely buy from iTunes anymore. Once they download the file they just upload it into their iPods via iTunes. Amazing!

Siftables

The possibilities are endless, this is such a cool product. I wonder if this would be embraced by schools. They are relatively inexpensive and I can see how to incorporate Siftables into lesson planning activities.

I love watching the "Did You Know" series, it always makes me think about how fast technology is moving day to day! This happens to be the latest one I could find.

Using the Intenet in Education

This is my personal reflection regarding thoughts and responses from my Using the Internet in Education graduate course at New Jersey City University.  I currently use a "Do Now" blog with my Video Graphics 1 students and it has been somewhat successful.  I am trying to find ways to become more creative with the blog response from my students.  It is really more of a way for them to answer basic questions and respond to video examples.  I can also relay information to them via the blog with due dates and work when I am out of class for the day.
