Voice THreading!

I had never heard of voice threading till recently and I am starting to understand how it works or in what ways it can work in the classroom. I like the idea of it being the students voice becuase it's a sense of ownership for their work they accomplished. I would like to use voice threading in my future classroom because in today's generation, technology is so advanced and having them use technology and still learn having fun... well thats a PLUS! Voice threading is pretty cool and plan to learn more about it!

Google Docs...

I must say google docs is pretty interesting yet very neat. It is similiar to alot of the things we already do now like, word process, powerpoint and so on but in a different format than we are use to seeing. I think my favorite thing about google docs is how it saves automatically. How many times are we typing something up and all of a sudden its all gone (we pressed the wrong button).? Well with google docs we don't have to worry about not saving because it does it for us. AWESOME! This would be great in the classroom when a teacher wants to do a computer lesson as a whole. Everyone would be on the same looking at the same information, helping each other out. Great technology interaction for the students comes from google docs.

TIE PLAN!!

Organized Chaos

Blog for young children I find kind of difficult at times because not all can read or may understand the concept of a computer. On the other hand it can be very effective for those teachers who teach the young ones to share information with each other.Helping each other with new ideas that come about. In the pre-k classroom I am in now, the students use the computers to get on a website called Starfall and they love the colors, songs and so forth. The students use only the mouse though and not the key board. So in using a blog where students "write" to each other is quiet not at their level, I believe. Because they are still learning their letters and simple basics of education.

In this blog called, Organized Chaos,  I like how the different comments are sharing ideas for the students. Many teachers share some ideas of group activities and how to help many students in the classroom. These ideas that the teachers post are ways to help the crazy times we sometimes have in the classroom. There are times when we have these days and the students seem to be everywhere, looking back at this blog may help us in those off balance times.
