Searching iTunes is very familiar to me because I am constantly downloading music. I had not spent much time listening to podcasts, but I was surprised to see the different topics found when looking for one to subscribe. I recently purchased an iPad and found a podcast called ipadtoday. It gave me many great apps to add on my iPad. I also liked a podcast for kids called, KID FRIDAY. It simply addressed tech tips and apps kids would enjoy. Two kids actually gave most of the information, and I shared their tips with my own children.
It was fun to explore the world of web 2.0 tools. I found the website cooltoolsforschool to be extremely helpful. I plan to spend more time searching for new tools throughout the school year. One I found to use immediately in my classroom was dogo. It provides kid friendly global news. I am constantly searching for a way to incorporate current events in a way children can comprehend. I also like kideos because it includes videos that have been screened and approved for children.
Overall this online class was a great way to improve my awareness of web 2.0 tools. I can't wait to incorporate many of these tools in my classroom.
