I haven't blogged for about a week, but I have been busy working on the projects for my two classes. I wanted to write about the success I have had with using two of the web 2.0 tools that I learned about this quarter. For my teacher leadership class I was assigned an action research project and decided to incorporate a web 2.0 tool into this project. I had my team at school complete a survey monkey to show a need for a common website that we could all use and add to with our favorite websites. The team agreed that this would be a great idea and I started the Symbaloo website. Here is the link to the website: http://www.symbaloo.com/
The other web 2.0 tool that has been a huge success is the weebly website that I created for parents and students. In just one week I have over 100 hits to my website!!! The parents and students have found it helpful to have the plan for the week posted to the site along with the homework information. I have discovered weebly to be very user-friendly and have suggested it to many of my colleagues. Well, that's all for now!
I love it when a plan comes together (old TV show tag line). Making connections between Otterbein classes is great as is using web 2.0 tools for your classes and at school. Is the website you created in 675 the one your parents and kids use?
ReplyDeleteOn another note: Your link to Symbaloo leads to MY Symbaloo... a common problem. See if you can solve the mystery of how to link only to your Symbaloo.
Great job Brittany! I definitely like the Weebly website...it's very easy to create and it does seem like a useful tool for students and parents alike. Also, Symbaloo has EVERYTHING in one place; it's almost like information overload. lol. Keep up the good work!...and good luck with the Teacher Leadership course.
