Week 8 Thing 20

Wow--Class 2.0 has a ton of resources. I like the fact that it is also a place to network with other teachers who are "in the trenches" and can give feedback and ideas. The live workshops may also be something to check out later. I've enjoyed learning about the amazing tools in web 2.0 but feel somewhat overwhelmed. So..this is a long-term learning process I think. Class 2.0 will be of help there. the only thing I didn't like about the site is that it's awfully busy so I will access it only when I have time to sift through the massive amounts of information.

As for Traveler IQ, i stopped the Amazing Race flag one and switched to the U.S. Did much better!

Thing 15

December 15th, I was able to take video of the results of an experiment for my biology class. I could plug it into my laptop and show the video to my students--which they thought was very cool-- but could not get it to load at all to manipulate it under Windows moviemaker. I have since discovered that I did not have the Any video conveter software and need a work order to be put in order to get it. So...I will revisit this when that happens. I will probably added voice to the video asking and then answering questions about the results.
