Earlier this week, Alex and I gave a presentation on Delicious. When we first selected our topic, I didn't believe Delicious would be very useful and thought the only benefit would be having your bookmarks stored online so they can be accessed from any computer. After exploring the website more, I found many neat tools Delicious has like the tag clouds. I think Delicious would be a good tool to use personally and with students for any internet assignments in the classroom.
We also looked at Glogster today. This was a creative tool, but I really don't see myself using it ever. I felt there are other tools that would be better for presenting math material in my classroom that have a more organized format. This might be a good tool for students to use to create a digital poster for a presentation in class, but I probably won't use it as a teacher.
We have also started our first lesson plan in class this week. I have made some lesson plans in classes last semester, but I still don't feel completely comfortable creating my own. This assignment was unique from other lesson plans I have worked on because it requires more online resources than I have normally used, and because I am working collaboratively online with Judy. This is actually beneficial because Judy is really sick, so we can still work together on this assignment without her spreading her germs!
