Wordle - Laura's Word

Wordle - Laura's Word: ""

Week #7

I am currently the Library Aide for my campus, our campus does have a mobile computer lab.

Kid Pix Deluxe has so many sites to choose from, I found it hard to navigate and choose.

Wordle: Our Library already uses Wordle for the Bluebonnet project that the kids do. The Kids really enjoyed doing this it helps with their vocabulary skills, word association, story comprehension by using key words.

TerraClues: seems a little advanced for our campus, possibly 4th grade, I had fun searching the clues but, at times I got lost or confused as to what I was looking for as the clues got harder.

Week#6

Kid zone and Word sift could be used in conjunction in the library, using a "word" for that week and then using word sift to display different images and uses of the word would enhance vocabulary and increase reading comprehension.

Week #5

Using blogs and wiki's can be a helpful tool for both teachers and parents for communication purposes; however, I am concerned that with using a wiki that the informantion posted can be changed. If was to interact with parents or relay specific information and leave it open for input I would use a blog. You could use wiki for keeping up with inventory and locating items within your campus.

Week #4 continued

Week #4

Photostory is a lot of fun!!!!!! it's really neat to be able to make a slide show of pictures and add music to it. Kind of like a musical scrapbook. I could see how you could use this tool for your class room because alot of children learn by sight and music and this program allows you to add your own material and music. Teacher tube is helpful but, you have to be very specific or you will have to go thru alot of information to find what you are looking for.
