Slideshow
The photo slideshow is geared for a 6th grade Language Arts class demonstrating Cause and Effect. The students are to create their own slideshow finding images to demonstrate cause and effect.
Screencast
Outline Screencast
My screencast was designed to help walk a student through creating an essay outline. I begin with the prewriting web and draw the information from that into a rough outline. Students would also create their own screencast for their outlines to demonstrate that they understood how the outline was formed.
I really like this learning tool. I could see myself using it and posting it on my website to help students with their homework, if they were absent and missed class, etc.

Podcast
This is a fun assignment and a great alternative for students to demonstrate their comprehension skills. I created a podcast as an example for my students. The podcast is basically a summary of one chapter from The Outsiders. However, they must write a dialogue using the characters from the chapter and record it as a small group.
Webquest
The following webquest was designed to be used after reading Chapter 4 of The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. It's main focuses are making inferences and researching background information on child abuse.
This webquest is also a model for students to create their own webquest in future. For example, if we were reading The Diary of Anne Frank they might create a webquest on the holocaust.
I really feel that a webquest will be very useful as a teaching tool in the future. It was easy to make, and it provided a new forum of research for activities that I already had been using with my students.

My PLN
My PLN only contains those items that I truly believe that I will utilize in my career.
When I started this class in August, my web knowledge and tools for education were very limited. I am amazed as to all that is out there to help me help my students. I'm sure that there is a whole lot more that I can learn, but I'm glad that I have these newfound tools to help me now.
