In a blog I could introduce my class, have my students tell personal comments from the material learned in class, and inform what will be taught during the year. In addition, classrooms news, homework, and anything else important that should be share could be included in a blog. I have seen teachers sharing ideas that later get lost. Social Bookmarking could be use in a grade team to share sites with others. We could all input helpful sites that can be accessible to others in the team to help us plan lessons. The students could benefit by accessing bookmarking where they can find information about a particular theme the class is researching. One of my professors used Voice Thread for lectures in his online class, (I think that was Voice Thread) and it was the most enjoyable online class I ever had. While having a class on site-lecture type-I do not know how else I could use it in that class. I loved this week’s activities because they introduced me to new things that I have only heard of, but never tried until now.
I have a teacher that is using Live Chat, which to me would be considered a Voice Thread, I really enjoy it. I like that better than just reading the lecture, like my previous online classes have been. I also liked this week's activities. I was introduced to the social bookmarking and Voice Thread. I was nervous about creating a blog at first, but after I got started designing it, I realized that it was not that bad or hard. I really enjoyed it. I've enjoyed looking at everyone elses and looking at what a good job everyone ele did creating thiers.
I love your idea of using blogs to keep the students updated with the material being covered in class, as well as the classroom news and homework assignments so that they always have something to refer back to if they were to lose their stuff. I think the idea of a voice thread is a good idea such as your online teacher used for students. The voice thread could be beneficial to some students who are not so computer savy, and it could give that one to one presence of being in a classroom as well.
I like your ideas and look forward to someday using these helpful tools in my classroom. All of these tools are new for me and Im excited about learning more about their educational value.
