Thing 11

Well my experience with Flickr was ok. It was not the most fun for me.  The instructions again were not clear and I had a hard time getting done what I had to do.  It was confusing and frustrating for me.  I will probably not use this resource very much.  It will probably be more beneficial for someone in a more artistic class rather than a language class. I chose this picture because I like Cappuccino and had never seem a store like this.  They do exist in Europe and that is pretty neat.  Alex Garcia is the photographer for this picture.      http://www.flickr.com/photos/11872189@N00/5121694514/

Thing 10

I really liked watching the videos on Creative Commons.  It sure has taken some of the pressure off my back about using peoples' written materials.  It has also made me feel better about the pressure the school district was putting on us. I am now going to make time to search for information that will enrich my class and enrich my students.  I have never even noticed CC on anything and even if I would have I wouldn't have known what it meant. I absolutely believe that CC will impact how students learn and how teachers teach. Both students and teachers will be able to create projects by having countless resources to pull from.
I'm beginning to use video clips and audio clips from the web. It isn't because I don't want to buy because I don't have the time to search for them.  I am excited about my new found information and I intend to use resources to enrich my teaching.  I believe this is a wonderful opportunity for all educators and students and there isn't anything negative that I can see.  I liked http://varellbrazil.multiply.com.

Thing #9

Well it was ok playing in the sandbox and learning how to manuver in it.  I do have to say that some of the instructions were not very clear.  Somethings that we were asked to do would not work, and even trying again I was still unsuccessful. Once I caught on to the instructions on embedding it was fun to do it and it was really edifying to me to be successful at something like this.   I did like making my page and knowing that someone is going to look at it.  The name of my Wiki page is http://misrecuerdos.com.
