Welcome
Second life could be a good educational experience for older students. I believe the students in our program are not ready for second life. Even though it can teach students the difference between fantasy and reality we have to be careful of students who have not mastered the skills of reality vs. fantasy. To me second life provides student a way to escape to a world of unknowns and maybe unsafely. It can enhance learning of students who knows the difference between fantasy and reality and provide them an opportunity to expand their learning. As I continued to watch the different videos on second life it provided me with some ideas for teachers using second life in professional development training.

K-12 Online Conference
Welcome
The online conference I chose was Little Kids, Big Possibilities. This presentation is about how you can use 2.0 and social networking with younger students. This online conference provided me with some sites that will help enhance student’s learning and engagement in classroom assignments. The first site she talked about was Wallwisher.com. It provides students a way to become activity involved with their daily assignments. The second site she discusses was Wordle.net. This site’s aim is to help students with comparison and contrast, prediction, inference, main ideas and generalizations. Wordle can help students generate rich discussions with other students. The final site was Edmodo.com. It is a social networking site that can be used at home or school providing ways for students and teachers to communicate. Edmodo will allow you to share ideas, turn in assignments, reflections and share file. Edmodo provides students a great way to learn online and collaborate with others. These sites she talked about in her online conference could be used in our classrooms providing teachers a way to engage students in their own everyday learning. They also provide teachers a way to expand their lesson and develop a richer environment.

Tappedin
Welcome
I signed up for Tappedin. I entered into a room called reception and created an office, visited TI and read information about assessment. Tappedin appears to be a very interesting site. It has lots of good information for educator. Tappenin offers help as you tour the site. Doing my tour I was able to chat with a person name Jeff C. He asked me what my purpose for using Tappenin was. He provided some information on how I could use Tappenin and benefit from the site. He even stated, “One of my classmates was on Tappenin yesterday”.

Welcome
First I would like to say that Twitter is not for everyone. After signing up for twitter I was lost. It took me about two hours to find out how to participate in twitter and I am still not sure. I when to the Fontbonne faculty blog, I click on computer education, an article about Web 2.0 and Cloud Computing by Joann Mattson came up. The posting gave some good information about 2.0 and cloud computing. I can share this information with staff. She also provided some links to some sites to try. I am still not sure if I would use twitter in our program. I have not seen the benefit of this site yet. I will continue to work out my bugs with the site.

Children
Welcome
The slideshow I chose is a collection of children and families as we see them in their native state. These photos remind me of the different diversity cultures of the children and families we serve every day. I would use this as an introduction to new and old staff when they return for the new school year. I would use this as a discussion piece of how our children are different and how we should be mindful of their cultures when entering our center.
