If All of My Classes Online Conference

Thanks to whomever posted the link for this Online Conference.

I have to say that this was my first online conference. I must do this again. Wendy Wolfe did a presentation of different Web Tools that can be used in the classroom. I really liked the presentation on the toondoo software and will be using it in my classroom. I need to look into the privacy issue with allowing my students to use this but she indicates that I can create a classroom and allow students to publish to friends. Many of my students complete their classroom tasks at different times and this allows too much free time for many of them. During free time they are always wanting to "cruise" the internet which can be an issue. Using the toondoo call allow them to use their creative energy. I think that I will create projects for them to "toon" about that is related to other subject matter they are learning. Hey, what a great collaborative effort.

The Gcast Web Tool was also interesting. Using your phone from anywhere to create the podcast was its stron point. She suggests that this can be used for the auditory learners in the classroom. They can replay the clip as often as they need to get the concept taught in class.

I look forward to learning of more online conferences in the future.
