Concept Map:
Glogster: Internet Glog
My opinions on the Web 2.0 Resources:
- Concept Map (bubble.us): I found this to be an easy tool to use for organizing information and brainstorm units before having to teach it. It would be extremely useful in planning lessons.
- Glogster: I felt that this was a neat way to present information in a way that teenagers and children would find interesting and appealing. At first, it was difficult to learn to use but I became accustomed to it quickly. It is a valuable tool. I feel that I could easily put it to use in my classroom.
- Animoto: I thought this was a quick and easy way to present information in a professional format. It did not take much time to organize the photos and add captions.
- Big Huge Labs: This is a quick easy way to get students attention and create funny, interesting ways to get students engaged.
I absolutely love Glogster! I've taught in two different schools, and in one, they blocked You-tube (ridiculous!) so we were unable to link or embed videos from it. In the other, students were so interested in it when i used it for a presentation about hydraulic fracturing. My own daughter uses it for school and personal things (she's 15).
