Explain how you might use one of the learned technologies in a specific content area.

I would like to start a blog to display student work or use Glogster to use in Language Arts. -AM

I would love to use a podcast or vodcast to have a group of students each week take turns and explain what we learned in math that week.-LL

I would really like to explore using a class blog for language arts/writing. I think the class would like an alotted time to have fun and practice writing/typing, possibly during choice time. ~Kathy Montanelli

I am planning to use a class wiki to post a Question of the Week in math. This would allow students to go on the wiki and brainstorm ways to approach the question, as well as add and edit each others work to eventually come to the correct answer. Kelly Stabile

I will probably use wordle to assess students to share their prior knowledge on the different topics we will be exploring in math and science. -Jenn Pisano

I would like to incorporate blabberize into my language arts classes by having a student record his or her voice into any character he or she chooses. The student can explain to the class what he or she has learned in either Guided Reading or whole class activities. This could be done daily or weekly. - Dorothy Puzio-Raymondi

I would like to have the BSI math students create a photostory for the topics they learn as a review. Also, I think I will try using Blogs with my students in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses throughout the year. - CM

I've brainstormed two ways to use Wordle in my Language Arts class this year. One way, would be to have a lesson on different types of nouns (say, proper and common nouns) and have students make a Wordle with proper and common nouns, definitions/descriptions of each, and examples. Students can identify each type/definition/example by making each part a different size. After completed, students will have a graphic organizer they can refer to that will help them remember the difference between the two.

Another way to use Wordle would be to cut and paste a poem into Wordle, and see how it rearranges/sizes the words in the poem. This will help students identify theme and main ideas presented by the poet. Seeing the words that make up the poem in a different format will give students the chance to explore their own point of views and promote critical thinking about the poem's message. -Kelli Bond

I would like to use blabberize to create math lessons and have students explain math problems. BMullins

I love blabberize and would love to have my students use it in class to demonstrate their understanding about a topic or share their thoughts about their reading or explain how they solved a math problem. ~Erin Shannon'

I love voicethread, voki, photostory, and wikispaces. I plan to create a voicethread for use with Lit Circles and PhotoStory for students to create their parodies with. --Ashley Wollesen

I love technology!
