March 4 Exit Slip

Today we talked about a different way to take attendance, we talked about a more child friendly ways. He told us that we could do themed based attendance for different seasons or holidays. We also talked about the chapter. I learned some about different wikis and blogs that I hadn't seen before. I think it is a great thing to use in the classroom. Jeff also went over a couple of different ones after the presentation. We talked about Edublogs. It is a safer alternative to control who sees your blog. Another option is Class BlogMeister. It is a different way that we can use as a template or an example. We cannot become part of this website because you have to be part of the project. It is a cool way to see how to use the blog with their students. We are using Wetpaint as our Wiki service. It is a great way to create projects for the classroom. We can have a what we did in class wiki. Another one that we can use is Wikispaces. Another one is PBWorks. Wikispaces are cool because you can take ads away. Some of the ads can be inappropriate so they can remove them off of your wiki site. I think that it was interesting learning about the various cool tools. I really liked Dropbox, it is a place to put files off of your computer. It is a great way to help save your data and access it later at a different place.
