Before I get into this week's impressions, does anyone have advice for me about Flash? It crashes very often. Any ideas about why, or what to do about it? I could look in Google, but if someone can help me without me sorting through loads of possibilities, it would be nice.
There was a rather sad commentary on The Answer Sheet blog about standardized testing in Florida and the bureaucracy involved.
The Organized Classroom seemed to have an interesting video about tattling but I couldn't watch it because of the Flash problems.
Same goes for Teacher Tube.
I'll try again later in the week.
I had fun this week with the various tools. Of course, Photofunia and Lunapic were the most enjoyable and creative. I'm determined to create an activity with at least one of these sites because I know it's a great draw (pun intended) and super attractive for the students.
It's frustrating for me to have so much amazing technology at my fingertips, but to be limited because of the school's lack of resources. However, I'm not giving up!
Hi Tzivia,
ReplyDeleteI share those same frustrations with you! Whilst I am thoroughly enjoying this course, I feel my frustration growing at times due to the lack of resources in some classrooms.
Do you have access to some sort of technology in your classroom? Do you have nay ideas how to incorporate it when its not directly in the classroom already?
Good luck...I look forward to hearing some of your tips!
HI Tzivia! I feel the same! I'm just itching to try all this out in my class but also don't have resources. I would really like to hear ideas about how to use the picture sites in class- they're just great fun!!
