Scavenger Hunt

Finally finished my scavenger hunt. I am hoping I did what I was supposed to do. Worked hard and took me until about midnight to finish. I hope everyone had an easier time than I did. Let me know.

This is my first attempt at my own wiki. I am not sure what you are supposed to post, so I posted work from 3040 and some pix.

One more thing

I must say that I have learned so much from doing this assignment. I thought that I was pretty computer literate, but there is literate and then there is Literate. I had fun playing with Flickr and Animoto. I love my blog page and plan to continue using it. Delicious is great, I have organized my bookmarks and now it so much easier to find what I am looking for. I will also continue to keep up with new technologies by reading Learning 2.1s feed. TeacherPop and College 2.0 are great sites to keep up with anything new and it is also a great support system. I am finally ready to begin my journey into the world of teaching.

Thing 23

Learning 2.0 was designed and developed for use by Helene Bowers loosely based on Stephen Abrams 43 things article. I put a link to the Creative Commons license page. I will use this a lot because sometimes in history useful publications are no longer in print, but you can use a portion of the publication without copyright infringement. Making sure to give credit to the author is a no brainer, but children must be taught about plagiarism before they can be expected to know what it is. Careful, in-depth explanations must come from us, so that our students clearly understand the lines that they must not cross.

Thing 22

I think podcasting is great if you know how to do it. For some reason I just can't get mine to upload to LiveText intact. I listened to several podcasts on, you guessed it, history. I subscribed to the Voices on Antisemitism podcast from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Every other week they send a new podcast about the experiences of people who lived through that terrible time in world history. Justice Ginsburg was interviewed for this series and she reflects on her great good fortune to have been born in the United States. I will make a point of listening to this subscription because what the horror and terror that was visited on the people of the Holocaust must never happen again. So we must not allow our children to forget.
