I have learned alot by having this blog and doing The 23 Things for my EDUC 3040 Technology class.
Before this class I had no idea what a podcast was. Let alone how to use or integrate it into my future classroom!
I feel like I will take alot from this class and we are only halfway over. I can only imagine what is left to learn in here. I have enjoyed Ms Castleberry and Dr Wall for their creativity in this class. I am really looking forward to graduating and getting my own classroom!
Still looking forward to being Mrs Morgan Kindergarten Teacher!

Thing #23
APSU 23 Things is copied off of another's work. Dr Wall gives the original author credit on one of the pages. It is a link of 43Things. I think that is rather cool. I like how I have learned to link things up. It has become second nature to me.
I will definately use creative commons as a teacher. I also will share it with my students. I feel like the more practice you have the better you will become aquainted with whatever it is that you are using. If I start my younger students with creative commons by the time they get to high school they will be pros at it!
As a teacher I also will continue to use creative commons so that I can make sure I am using things legally and setting a good example for my students!

Thing # 22
I can not believe that the word "podcast" was word of the year in 2005. It is now 2010 and I had no idea what a podcast was until I had to make one for my Educ 3040 Technology Class. All I can say is WOW! I am really liking the podcast thing! I will definately use it when I start teaching. I feel like it is a good way to get my students attention. I will use a podcast and then asign a worksheet with it. (This makes it beneficial for the students to pay attention.)
Ok so on to finish thing #22!
Well I clicked on several different podcasts and I tried all 3 of the links that Dr Wall put up here. There was only one that actually worked. And It was pretty stupid so I am not gonna say what it was or connect the link to my blog. I dont want to offend anyone and I surely dont want to be associated with listening to something like that! LOL I know I am weird!.
I did create my own podcast. I read a book "Why do leaves change colors?" by Dr. Marian Jacobs. I also created a worksheet to be used with my podcast.

Making my own video was very fun! I am loving this! I can make one for free it is limited to a 30 second video! We will see how it turns out. It is processing while I am typing into my blog. It really was easy and like Dr. Wall said you really dont have to be Steven Spielburg! That was very easy and alot of fun! I chose to do a video of our family Vacation to Texas last August! I had some really great pics showing how out going and funny my kiddos are! They are the love of my life!

Thing #20
While exploring you tube, I thought about something my EDUC 2100 professor taught me. We live in a Global economy. She was absolutely correct, it is because the internet reaches all over the world! While in that class we watched a video about civil rights. I was going through Youtube and I found something that really caught my eye. I would love to share it with everyone that comes into contact with my blog!
I have wanted to be a teacher for many years. I have driven education into my childrens brain. My whole household takes education very serious and I have always been involved and communicated with their teachers and their education. I do "down and dirty" they keep absolutely no secrets from me or their dad. I know this because we DO NOT give them the opportunity to "hide" anything from us. Without further ado here is the video that caught my attention.

I selected Teacher Pop! I am awaiting to be accepted by the administrator! I will come back and blog about this a little later.
So it is now a little later! lol
I set up my page and it really reminds me of myspace! I added a picture to my profile. It is very user friendly and I connected it with my facebook. I think this is going to be a really good networking site for me as an upcoming teacher! I am going to continue to use this site!
I think this is my badge:
Visit TeacherPop

I already have a myspace and a facebook. Myspace is really old and I never log into it anymore. My facebook is something I log into often. (It actually depends on how much homework I have.)
This is my facebook. I dont know if you can view it cause it is private! I have like 200 friends and I am nto wanting to add anymore! lol....it is enough to keep up with.
I think it is beneficial for educators to know how to social network, it is one of the best ways to stay up to date with what is going on with your students (this applies to older students really). The one thing that I do not like about the sites is having to share your personal information. That is the one thing about today's society that really bothers me. You should not put anything on the web that is truly private. There are so many ways that your stuff can be hacked into even with a virus protector!
I do not think that this should be used especially if minors are involved, we have to be especially careful when we are doing things with other's children.
