11.5 Thing 2

Wordle - Loved it. Could use it a couple of ways (1) create one with character traits, save it and use it in PhotoStory or another product (2) Copy a newspaper article in the box and see what words are most often used. Did it surprise you?

Glogster - This could be my new favorite thing (sorry PhotoStory). It is so easy to integrate pictures, video, text, etc.

VOKI - I have used this and I like it, but I don't see as much classroom potential as the other items.

Bookr - This something I will definitely use. Do we need to worry about inappropriate pictures on flickr??

Thing 1 of 11.5

This video is where we all wish to be. Getting there is the problem. It is possible, but it will take time to teach students the skills they will need to practice connectivism. Without proper instruction I believe it would be overwhelming to a high school student to attempt to practice what is seen in the video. But, as was once said, every great journey begins with baby steps! Are we ready to begin??
