Great Resources Are Available!!!! :)

This week in class we furthered our knowledge to the great uses of web 2.0 and the abundance of resources and social networking options there are out there for teachers! I had never heard of goodreads before this class (see link great books under my links) and it is a great way for teachers to share their favorite books with other teachers, their students, or their student's parents. I could see this as a fun way to get student's excited about learning and reading!

I think it would be so fun to create a goodreads account for my classroom and have students bring books and reviews to add to list that we could share with another classroom. I think this might be one way to get students excited about reading and sharing what they have read.

I am so glad I have the opportunity in this class to learn about all the great resources that are available for me to use in my classroom!! Technology is a great way to help children learn. We are in a technology dominated sociey and children today use technology a lot! Thus, technology can be used as a very useful tool to get student's engaged in what they are learning and excited to complete assignments. Technology has so many options and so many things available that the opportunities and possibilities are endless!
