ICE Conference 2010

Tomorrow I am presenting at the 2010 ICE (Illinois Computer Educators) Conference in St. Charles.  I am so lucky to have this awesome opportunity to share resources with my peers and my students are super excited for our Skype session tomorrow!

Glogster

I heard about Glogster at the Northern Illinois Computer Educators Mini-Conference and decided it was definitely worth checking out.  Glogster is a website where students and teachers can make interactive digital "posters" which can have embedded images, videoes, and links.  What an awesome way to share information or for students to make a report!

Using Wordle in the Classroom

Here is a wordle I made about using wordle in the classroom.

Brad Paisley - Welcome to the Future

eyePlorer - awesome brainstorming tool

EyePlorer is an amazing website to help students brainstorm topics, find vocabulary words associated with a topic, and to easily take notes for an assignment. Try out a topic and see for yourself!

Amazing Storytelling Website

Mrs. P. is a wonderful website where students can listen to traditional fairy tales. The website seems magical - you have to visit to understand what I am talking about. This website is a great way to bring reading and storytelling to life for younger students and reluctant readers.

Make sure to visit Mrs. P!

Brings Back Memories

The following website is for anyone who remembers the Apple II computers. I remember these from my early years of elementary school. When I came across this website I ended up playing Oregon Trail for quite awhile. Those graphics used to seem amazing to me! I am interested in what my students will think of the games and graphics. We've come a long way!!!
