Well. This is my FIRST TIME BLOGGING. That's right folks. I was a blogging virgin. Not any more.
As much as I would love to enlighten you about all of the funny yet twisted things that occur in my daily life.... this blog post must be about my class. I need those points!
So, let's start at the beginning. First, I had to write about Google Earth and Wordle. Google earth looks really cool, I enjoy using it for my own amusement, and has a lot of options for usage in the classroom. However, it is pretty confusing. I would not recommend using it in an elementary school classroom unless you are the one doing the navigating and your students just have to watch. Wordle was very cool. I could see using it more as a student than as a teacher. Students could type their spelling words and print them out to bring in to turn in as homework. That list would be so much cooler to look at than the traditional spelling list.
THEN I had to return to my twitter account, create a blog and subscribe to a blog reader. First of all... I had no idea what a blog reader was. No idea. So, I decided to start by creating a blog. Which, I thought I did. Until I tried to log into my non existent blog and realized I signed up for Google+. Fail. Once I got my life together I actually started a blog. (Duh. This one.) After the blog I subscribed to a blog reader and now I am following a myriad of bloggers. Students, celebrities, random people that I thought were in my class that weren't. But hey! I tried. Let's talk about my twitter account. I hate twitter. Twitter and I have a hate/hate relationship. I. don't. get. it. People annoy me when they post tweets every 5 seconds (literally.) I apologize if that is you, but seriously... no one wants to read about you watching the Grammy's every 5 seconds.
Next up is Module 5. Glogster. I have heard about Glogster, I have watched people use Glogster, I have 0 experience with Glogster. We will see how this goes...
