I created this cartoon with the use of Toondoo It wasn't very hard, and was kind of fun. I could see starting on a little project like this, and looking up after a couple of hours had passed. I put it out there for public view, and viewed several others as well. There is an opportunity with this site for sharing, and getting ideas from other people.
I also made a quick todo list at Ta-da lists It was really easy, and I could see myself using it on a daily basis. I could use this every day to get my day organized, help plan practices, and set up timing, and tasks that I would like to accomplish with my daily lessons.
I perused several other sites, and plan on keeping the list as a reference. I tried a few sites, but was unable to use several of them on my school computer because they required a newer version of a flash player, or some other upgrade that is blocked by the school. I get frustrated when I find something I might use, and just can't do it.
Going through these lists, and reviewing items from my Google reader have lead me to realize that I need to stay active on the web. There is so much happening at such a rapid rate, that I have to play with new tools on a regular basis, just to find tools that I can really use.
I think I'm going to try toondo. Do you know of any classroom uses? Any ideas for math. This 23 Things class makes me wish I taught another subject, because it's just so hard to come up with math ideas for some of these tools.
ReplyDeleteI have seen links to a lot of general education tools, but I have not had time to explore many yet. Look at instructify. It gives good links to instructional ideas, and sites.
