Thing 18

This is the video that I use for my Spanish I classes at the end of the first semester. They love it because it is so catchy. I use YouTube and Teacher Tube a lot. I have had to use YouTube often to learn how to do some things for this class.

Thing 17

Well I think podcasting is a good thing but I find it rather boring.  I think I'm like the kids if you can't see anything then it won't hold their interest nor mine.  I'm writing mostly concerning the kids.  As for me I can take more listening time since I am used to studying and paying attention.  I downloaded Webster's Word of the Day and Teachers Teaching Teachers. Well the word of the day is super interesting because it is something that you do have to listen.  The other, however, was boring because it is just two people talking about chasing storms.  I'd rather see the pictures or video than to listen to them talk. I really don't think that I would use podcasting because the kids wouldn't pay much attention and would turn off to listening to people talk.

Thing 16

I really like the fact that this is available to us.  I think this is really cool for the kids to get involved with. I wish something like this would have been available earlier in my life because it would have been so great to have a running list of all the books I have read.  I really hope that the librarians in the middle schools would push this so that the kids could take advantage of such a great opportunity.

Thing 15

Of all the things we have done so far this thing has been the most fun and the most informative for me.
Delicious is a great sight and it can become super fun if you let it.  I looked for sight that would give me information for my Spanish classes.  There were plenty of sights bookmarked and tons of tags. I loved the cuisine/cocina tag because it gave a great amount of recipes that were all different and from different places in Mexico and of the different cuisines found there. Another bookmark and tags were on refranes, dichos or wise sayings or as we say in English.  I had never seen so many and had never seen them alphabetized. These were great and I will use them for my classes.  All these bookmarks and tags are going to help me present information to my kids. I believe I can get them to do some research that will probably be fun for them.   http://www.delicious.com/inbox/dalsalmorales

Thing 7a

I went into my Google Reader.  Man it is so confusing to me. there is so much to read everywhere.  I like articles and sites that have to do with cooking.  I learned about making a turkey correctly and cooking the side dished in the correct or and at the correct time.  I didn't grow up eating much turkey so I wasn't up on this information. It was very interesting.

Thing 14

Lots of these tools were great fun to use.   I chose Ta-da only because it is so easy to do and it definitely helps me to see what I need to work on  and check off once it is done.  This could also be used as a large tablet in the classroom so that the assignments completed can be marked off by the students.  I would like for them to write the list in Spanish.     http://moralesdalia.tadalist.com/lists

Thing 13

  Using image generators to me was probably the most fun to do. I enjoyed looking through so many.  I would have loved to had more time to play and do some creative posters for my students.  I believe this will be an excellent project for my students to use in making projects written in Spanish.                                       I used Custom Sign Generator to make my Dummy book.
