social bookmarking and voicethread

You sure can learn alot about technology through any type of course or search on the computer. I have learned that as an eductor, bookmarking can be very useful in having an advantage to making resources available to your students. When you are engaged upon a certain topic you can bookmark it to make it more readily available to your students as well as to other educators and keep them on track with what you are doing in the classroom. Being able to have information on the topic at hand there as a quick reference is very substancial in performing everyday assignments and topics you are wanting your students to be more aware of and study on. This is also a great advantage for teachers to be able to bookmark topics to asses and cooperate on the same subject as well as the same level for all students.
VoiceThread is absolutely awesome to to me and my looking at what it involves. From an educators standpoint, you are able to allow your students so much more involvment in the subject area and on a more personal basis. This can allow your students and even outsiders to view you and what you are doing and go as in depth as needed for each subject area you are putting "out there" on the web. Allowing students as well to create their own voicethread can be ultimaltely a powerful tool in giving them creativity to open them up to exploring their subject matter and themselves.

My Favorite Sites

edublogs.org
Oh my goodness. I shad no idea all that was involved in even being connected on the internet and using information from the internet. I myself and so guilty of using information incorrectly on and from the internet. I am glad that I am now more aware of the copyright rules and fair use of being on the internet. For many of you that have questions about this a good site to visit is http://www.stfransis.edu/cid/copyrightbay/index.htm. You can learn alot if you investigate. And in this case it is wise to investigate especially as educators and using hte internet in the classroom.
