Reflections
I enjoyed making a digital story, its like magic. You simply take some pictures, import them, add them to the program, type the text, and finish. The program does it all after this. Wow!
My students will probably get a kick from using Word it Out, specially if they can display the product in our room or in our hall.
I will carve out some time from our daily schedule to incorporate technology into our lesson and/or centers. What surprised me the most is how easy some of these applications were easy to use, such as; Word it Out and Photo Story.

#11 - Digital Citizenship
We as teachers need to model proper behaviors when accessing the Internet.
1. Information on-line is another source of reference and not all information on it is appropriate.
2. The Internet is another world and an informed decision on how to safely be part of it is essential.
3. I should not assume that all of my students will use their "Best" conduct when using the Internet. I must Monitor - Monitor - Monitor

#10 iPod touch
Free iTouch applications
I reviewed two great apps; Google Earth and iTalk. GEarth is already very popular with students and a its good visual aid to locate Houston on the map of the world. On iTalk they can record their voice to include in their digital story the students created with Photo Story.
Last year at my school, I had the opportunity to use an iPod touch. It was great. My students were excited and eager to use the math applications and others. I like Pop Math Basic Math and Lemonade.

#9 Jing and Skype
Students can use jing to capture images that they will share or use in a story they are creating.
I can use skype with my students to talk with other 1st/2nd/3rd grade classrooms in the district. We can share what we have learned in Social Studies and/or Science.
