You Can Cusomize Your Personal Learning! Using iTunes in the Classroom

Thanks to Dr. Strange's students' reflections on listening to podcasts I have been inspired to do something I should have done months ago. Today we are downloading iTunes to our computers and searching through the podcast section and iTunes University. Our goal is for you to find a couple podcasts that you can download and listen to on subjects you want to learn about!

You may not download any podcast to your school computer that has the Explicit tag. If it has this tag it has inappropriate content for school.

Getting a Gmail Account: Let's Try This Again!

You need to get a Gmail account. This will allow you to join the 7th grade Ning as well as use the many Google tools I plan to introduce you to.

Here is a link to a video that shows you how to create a Gmail account. Make sure your gmail user name is appropriate for school!

After you have set up your account, you need to go to the 7th grade Ning and click on Sign Up then follow the instructions.

We absolutely need to get this done today so we can spend the rest of the week getting our science fair projects information printed.

Typing Pal Online

This year we are moving to keyboarding using Typing Pal Online. I have set my students' goal at 45 words per minute with a 95% accuracy. When they accomplish this goal, they will be using the rest of their semester creating content using tech and web tools.

I am looking forward to the enthusiasm that my students will bring to class when they realize that keyboarding class isn't a semester long sentence with no chance for parole!
