Tool #9

Jing would be a good way to share things with substitutes or other fellow teachers especially if I'm out sick at home I can still be involved by giving the classroom activities and projects.

I don't use Skype but I've seen my daughter use it and although it is not complicated I do not see myself using it anytime soon. It's definitely a great way to keep in touch with those far away and being able to actually see them through the video chat is very nice compared to instant messenger where you can't see the person.

Tool #6

While I see the purpose and the usefulness of Wikis for older students and for myself as a teacher it wouldn't really help Pre-K students. It would be difficult for them to use and this tool is not really helpful for the students of this age. However, as a teacher it is a good tool to be able to share ideas with others and to research different topics or projects.

Tool #5

I don't really bookmark too much on my computer so it's usually not too much of a problem having to organize them or anything. Through using Diigo I browsed through a couple of websites using tags such as bilingual, education, and teachers. Two websites that I found were:

www.teachingtips.com/...ul-blogging-tools-for-teachers

classtools.net

Using Diigo is a good way to get new ideas on things that we can incorporate to our lesson plans and how to better help our students.

Tool #4

Google docs is a useful tool that can be used to communicate with other staff members and convenient in that many different systems support Google docs making it easy to share lesson plans, schedules or any other important updates. It will help keep things running more efficiently and quickly on campus.

Even though I don't read other blogs too much I can see how useful Google reader can be to those that read and keep up with different blogs or newsletters. It's great to use so that way you don't clutter your screen with multiple windows keeping it a lot more organized and less of a hassle to keep up with your subscriptions.

Tool #3

This was a difficult task at first, there were so many to choose from and then figuring out how to create them and uploading them was a real headache! For PK this is pretty pointless.... But if we're going to assume that I had time for this I would use this for myself to create pictures of the kids and some of the activities they do in class, or to create a collage about themselves.

tool#2

I think that it is very important and useful resource, that we build an online education community because this way we can learn about each other and share our ideas.

tool#8

I went to teachers' tub, and I choose the song the five little monkeys, because it is a song that the children in the my bilingual class likes it a lot,and it is very good for children to start learning numbers.
