BP9_20100303_Web2.0Tool3_Todo.ly
Spring has sprung in WV. This weekend saw upper 60s low 70s and sun. IT IS WON-DERFUL! I was thinking about all the stuff I need to do that I've been putting off. Now that the weather has turned, I'm feeling motivated. But where to begin? Make a list, I suppose. And, you guessed it, there's a Web2.0 tool for that! Todo.ly.com. My thoughts immediately jumped to educational uses. What a wonderful way to help students stay on task. Of course, not all students have smart phones yet. But, most classrooms do have computers. Students could be given time each day to create their weekly home work and test study and project to do list using this tool. Teachers would be there to ensure accuracy. Kids can share their log-in/account information with their parents. Parents could log-in to see what homework or activities their child must complete for the evening or week. Some schools may already be using something similar, but it is usually filled out by the teachers without student involvement. The beauty of this strategy would be child-centered organization facilitation, so that the kids learn how to organize themselves. This would be especially useful for children with ADHD or similar challenges. And, I believe that since it's technology based the kids would really enjoy using it and be self-motivated to do so.
That's my Week 3 Web2.0 tool! Happy Spring everyone. I'm off to make my TODO.ly list!!!

BP8_20100302_OneMinuteMessage
This is my one-minute message about the last Web 2.0 tool I blogged about, Woopid. I did mention that I'm the not the greatest artist YET, right? If you didn't hear me mention it before, you've been forewarned! This is my second try at using Illustrator. And, I'm not the best at i-Movie yet either. Ran out of time to figure out how to adjust the last still and could not figure out how to loop my background music (although I saw how to do it another time)... Enjoy, for what it's worth!
