Twitter Thoughts
1. I have learned a lot about Twitter.....I think that instead of considering a gossip train wreck, much like Facebook can be, it has several ways to stay "in the know" about technology in education. I visited a lot of sites, and I have learned of new programs that are available to teachers.
2. I don't have a specific person that I am more interested in versus others. I like reading my classmates tweets and my teachers. I am one that likes to know a little about the person I am following. I would say that I do pay attention to @khanacademy, @CNNSchools, and @catlett1 more than others.
3. I will continue to use Twitter, but not as much as I have because of the class. It has nothing to do with not liking Twitter. I just simply do not have that time to get on it. I am glad that I was able to see a useful side to Twitter.

This article shows you several free downloads to help you with notes, language barriers, art, images and more. I feel that I would use the language barriers when working with ESL students. I would also have the students use the ImageCodr when creating their blogs, etc. I also really liked the Evernote, since I am constantly organizing my notes, I feel that this would be a great program to keep them all together! As long as you have a phone you can text, you're good to go! I wasn't sure about blogs before this classroom, but now I think you could make a blog that would be beneficial for students. I am excited to continue with my blog and more "projects" to it!

Grammar & History Playlists
I have created an English Grammar & Pieces of History Playlists. I am an English Teacher, therefore I utilize the videos for my students. However, the Pieces of History playlist is simply because I love history.

EDUC 552 Video - Solar System
EDUC 552 Video - Solar System
This is a video, made by me, with Animoto. It was a fun experience and I plan on making several more! The video I created is over the Solar System, I have been working with an ESL student on understanding our Solar System. I made this video to help with visual understanding.
