obohanan-Wordle Project
Wordle
Wordle, Project can be a little challenging.
The idea is to focus on the most used words to the least for the students to click on for information
http://www.wordle.net/create
this site is where all the work is done.
You can choose a topic and group of words.
Save them to your computer, somewhere you can find them.
This would be VERY useful in the music.
Students can click on a composers name and be taken to a site all about that composer.

WOW!!
This class is really pushing me..... A LOT!
I'm not the most computer savvy person there is and I really am challenged. Wednesday we got our assignments for a class presentation. I am excited about this....I get to do a presentation on a app call
"AudioBoo". It's an awesome new program that can be really useful in the class room. My partner is a girl named Sara, which I find really neat....My best friend is Sarah. Different spelling, but close enough. Sara says she doesn't know that much about computers, but I think she knows more than she really realizes. :)
AudioBoo is a new program that will utilize phones some students have; iPhone and Driods.(some nokia phones as well)
It is a really cool new way of teaching students that will keep their attention. They can add the app to their phone, for free, and be able to do homework. This would be an awesome tool to use in math: the teacher would post a problem on AudioBoo and then you would hear how to solve the problem. The same thing would work with English Lit. You could post a scene from a story you are reading and then play the matching audio with it.
I think aduioBoo would be extremely useful with bands. I plan on using this in my program. I will photocopy a page of the music they are working on and record their instrument playing it. This will be very beneficial to struggling players; they will be able to focus on their part alone, they will have a better chance of success.
My partner Sarah and I have really come along on our presentation we are preparing. I feel this has truly been a team effort. We have added our own touch to the presentation, I feel that will help us be more at ease; it's something we like so we will be comfortable teaching it. We are still working out a "kinks" but I am not worried. We really get along, she is really into this project also. I feel the more we do the more I am actually learning..I'm starting to get more confidence in what I am doing!!!!
AudiBoo has the potential to be an awesome teaching aide for students who might be having a hard time keeping up in class. This out of class way of learning has the potential to change some lives.
Most people do have am iPod or smart phone, or access to one. And if they don't there is an app they can use on the Internet as well. I wish/hope school will take this new way of learning serious, it could really help some potentially "left behind" students

WOW!!
This week has been crazy!! I have been trying to post this blog since Thursday and the Internet at
UT has been messed up. I finally hard to go to a friends place and use their Internet. It's rough being poor. LOL
This week in TPTE I learned how to do a WIKI, which I must add is becoming easier for me. I think that has to be one of the neatest things on the Internet. It will be awesome working on a project and having the person at their place working with me. I can see how this can be a huge tool in the class room. At first I was a little nervous about it, but then after actually using WIKI I began to get the hang of it. The video that was shown showed everything that can be done, but when i went to the actual site I was looking for the same type of screen that was in the demo.....wrong. But I am getting better at adding things to it.
We had to add links to the sidebar, and add to the main page, which was a little confusing to me, but like I said I am getting the hang of it.
This will be a GREAT time saver in class. When I give out group assignments students will have a greater chance of success.One of the hardest things in working with groups is finding the time for everyone to meet and add the input to the project.With WIKI everyone can be on line at their home, a restaurant, school or where ever and work on then project at the same time. I will be able to monitor their success and help them when needed. Everyone can add something different.
It is a great tool in other areas also. Friends can help each other with home work. One student can ask a question and the other can, work the math problem out, help them with grammar on an English paper. The use for this site is unlimited.
Next time I use WIKI I won't have all the issues I had this time. I am still not a pro at it, but my fear of something new is turning into excitement for my future students.
