Pinterest Use

I think Pinterest can be used for generally looking up different assignments as well as projects. It helps everyone have a idea of something that they want to do and trying something new. I feel in a classroom pinterest can be used for projects, assignments, pictures, or maybe holiday decoration. There's several creative ways to display pinterest in a picture. Even on children birthdays you can display their names and something that describes them on a board of birthdays, so that every student can feel special. I also think that pinterest is a good way to come up with new ideas or games to come up with different ways of learning for children. We all have different learning styles or techniques and it would be interesting to learn how everyone else learns and try it. Pinterest is also a great learning tool its not always about looking at clothes, shoes, traveling places, it also helps us get different ideas on a project that we should try.

Even though I use Pinterest a lot, I still find creative ways to do something. Its the best way to search up anything that you can, people have the same taste as you do, so its great. I actually learn a little bit I'm not that great with grammar, but I do alright, but it showed me that sometimes when we get older we forget certain things about a sentence, or where to put certain punctuation. I thought I would be done learning about all this stuff, but naturally that wasn't going to happen. We live and learn everyday as we get older, its a way of life, so it helped me so that I can know how to guide my students in the right direction. I do have some more work to do, but Im willing to put in the effort and do it.

10 Web 2.0- Drawing/ Video Tools

1. Drawing- (1-6)-http://www.braingle.com/

This was really interesting. I'm not much of a riddle solver, but it was cool trying to figure out the different parts of a riddle. I don't like riddles at all. It basically shows children how to use their creative side of the brain and really dig deep to figure out puzzles, or riddles. I would use these probably early in the morning to get them awake and thinking. I would also make it into a game so that it wouldn't be boring to the students, and they wont hate me for making them think.


2.http://pencil-animation.org/

This was about making  2-D animation come to life. How you can make your pictures look very real with just moving your mouse around and playing with the different buttons to make one picture. It also talks about how it makes it easier to draw something when you just think about something that you love, or what is on your mind at the moment. I think I would have my kids do something like this for a test grade or an art project. I would also have them to tell us why they drew the picture as well, what the significance was.



3. http://www.yourfonts.com/

Talks about different fonts and how you can create your own font. Nobody can copy this font because you made it, so it cant be copied. You can also pick and choose what font that you want to use and be creative. I would have my students make a font, and that would be their font for everything that they did. When they turn in papers, I will have them show me what font they have programmed, and they would have to keep that font until the end of the year.



4.http://doppelme.com/

This was cute I actually created one. Its a wed 2.0 that you can create like an animated person of you. It can be anything that describes you, or things that you like. It creates the graphical and creative side of the human brain. I would definitely have my kids make this in order to turn things in online. I would also use it to take roll for call everyday! They can also message or I.M me in class if they have a question and I can simply answer them.


5.http://www.buildyourwildself.com/

This was really simple. All it was was building a character using your favorite animal parts. And you color in the picture to make it look more creative and better. I would use this in class by have them pick somebody in the class, ask them question about themselves, then create their picture. After that I would put them in the project wall side, and they can see their creations on the wall. They can make it as crazy, ridiculous, and wild as they wanted. The funnier the Better! I actually made one!


6. http://www.flashvortex.com/index.php

Talks about the different Banners, Text, or Fonts you can make. Walks you step by step to how it works, and what they would look like. Also this would teach children about themselves, on what they like and what they don't like. I would probably use this for when they need to turn something into me like a binder, they would have to make a banner of their name so I will know who did it. I would also use this for group work see which children have the same taste and who work together well.

7. Video-(7-9) http://www.clipgenerator.com/

Short Website explaining how to make a video look professional. Teaches people how to enhance certain things so it makes you feel as if you were there. It also demonstrates how stupid people can be about immature stuff that they post. I would use this as a project/ Test for my class, they would have to find a partner and make a video together. The video has to be very educational and creative.




8. http://www.tubechop.com/
 This website shows you step by step how to cut something short and make it into a video. It shows how to take something from your favorite videos and make it all into one video. Its like YouTube, but you cant chop parts of a show up and put it in another video. I would probably make this a class assignment, the whole class had to come up with a popular show and put all the funny parts together. Then I would want them to re-enact it out.



9. http://www.smilebox.com/
This was really sweet! Its just like sending a cute ECARD to someone to brighten their days. It also can be used for any occasion such as; Holidays, Weddings, or birthdays. Just knowing that somebody cares about you and wants to see you smile is always a joy to have for the rest of your day. I would have my kids create 2 of this smile boxes send one to their parents or family member or maybe a student in the class.  I would have them make a Holiday one as well and we would hang them up in the room to bring more spunk to it, and see how creative they could be.


10. Research- http://www.wonderhowto.com/

This was a nice informative website. It goes in to detail of anything that you need to know, it takes you step by step of what it is that you are looking for. It has videos as well to help you through the process to make it easier to locate information. I would use this for research purpose, for papers, or articles. I would also want them to make a reflection on something that they read or saw on the website.

Personal Opinion About Social Networking

Okay.. Honestly, I probably text more then a 1000 text message a day. I love to text, i hate talking on the phone it annoys me. So I fall in the category of the texting crew. On the social networking thing, yes I have a facebook, yes I have a instagram, yes I have all this stuff, but I am a very private person and everybody doesn't need to know what I do on a daily basis. I think that's ridiculous that people have to tell the whole world what they have been doing, its not that important. Honestly I don't like social networking, because it causes to much drama, and misunderstanding, I feel if you really need to tell somebody how you truly feel you need to pick up the phone and let them know how you feel. Texting and messaging isn't enough because you cant here the sincerity in their voice, or know if they are really passionate of what they are saying. Apologizes should always be upfront and face to face, if its through a text I feel that its not heartfelt! So in my opinion I cant stand social networking I just have it to keep myself occupied when I get bored and have nothing else to do i can look at other people make fools of themselves and laugh. That's honestly why I have it, to get updates on people lives and see how they are doing.

Teenagers and Social Networking!

Teenagers and Social Networking

This article explains how much we today in society text, facebook, or instagram, and its pretty terrible! Its shocking that parents don't even pay attention to what their children are looking at, or maybe even posting. They think it will go away an they wont have to worry about it. This article explains the certain things that go on about social networking, how they have delete options if something shouldn't be on the web, or shortcuts to keep from getting caught. As young adults we have to power to do whatever we want, but also have to realize that we have to watch we say, we might be growing but we have to watch what we post because it can be tracked. Teenage girls text and post things way more then boys. New technologies always provokes more panic, especially for parents. They worry for their children, well at least some parents do, other parents are just like, I don't care they can do what they want. But let them get in some trouble then, all concerning comes out.

Social Media is Making you Stupid

This title is great! This article is basically telling people how dumb we can be behind social media and how much trouble we can get into. It actually makes us dumber as a society because we depend on social media so much to express our thoughts and how we feel about certain things. Its actually messing with analytic powers that mess with you like unused muscles. When you don't use your muscles for awhile and you go and workout you are so sore and it hurts because your body hasn't been exposed to those muscles in while. This article was nice sweet and simple and got straight to the point, don't waste your time on worthless things and wasteful energy. Social media isn't always good, it could definitely upset you and cause you to become revengeful. Social Networking can cause you to become very hostile and want to ruin anybody who has said something bad about you.
