VOICETHREAD

I think this would be cool to use in a classroom full of students who need to see the directions as well as hear them. Teachers can explain what they want the students to do by putting up pictures of the steps. They can then explain the pictures and students will learn what they are supposed to be doing. I think this is a great way to teach students in a classroom, and hopefully other people will enjoy it as well!

Done in three...

DONE IN THREE WEEKS! Anyone else as excited as I am? I can honestly say this has been my hardest month of school since I can remember. I guess taking all these classes has really caught up with me. My education classes both have projects that are time consuming and difficult for me because I have never written a lesson plan...now I have two to work on. My English class has a project that is a bit confusing still for me, and my Political Science class does not have my interest...still! Yes, my venting blog...sorry guys but I figure everyone is feeling similar to me and I wanted to let you guys know...YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Luckily this class is very fun and interesting. We learn so many cool computer activities. I have already used three for my other classes as well as just for fun. I really hope everyone in this class is having fun with at least one of their classes...and summer is just around the corner...I HOPE!

Panraven Storybook

I think this is a good tool for students to use in a classroom. It is a way for them to express a story in a fun way. They are able to add pictures as well as words to describe their stories to people. It is fun to pick different layouts for the pages and different backgrounds for the type of story that will match. It is a good tool for teachers to use because we can have a variety of methods to teach students with. We have the flickr slideshow to show pictures on, but we have the storybook to write about the pictures shown.
I think Panraven is a fun idea. Although it is a bit frusterating to work with because it does not have a lot of options to mess around with, it is a great learning tool. It was very easy for me to figure out how to use. The only problem I had was with changing the font, but even that was not too difficult. I hope everyone enjoys my storybook.
