Thing 6

Thing six would be a great way to communicate with grade level teachers across the district, as well as around the world. I think it would be great to share ideas (maybe even videos) of students around the world. That would be amazing for my 3rd grade students to see what students in California or even Japan are doing on a daily bases.

Thing 5

Google Reader would be a great tool to share a specific website or tool with your co teachers. This could help connect a friend or co teacher with a specific website that they might need or benefit from (this could include articles or pictures). This has been the case in the past when a specific grade level district wide needed access to specific info. This could also a great tool for a high school class to follow each other and post daily or weekly and not have to search for a specific person.

Thing 4 blogging

Blogging is a great way to communicate through a network of friends, classmates or associates. I recently completed my online masters degree through ASU. It was intense, but the great thing about the online program was the blogging that was done between the classmates. I had students in class with me weekly from many different states and we all became better acquainted before the online classes were over.

Thing 3 widgets

I finally figured this widget thing out. I chose to add a calendar. This is great information for myself and others who visit my blog.
