Blog Assignment 2/7/2010

Google Docs Presentation

http://practicalprincipals.net/ - Practical Principles 22 - Tools

Liked introduction-the jazz music, forecast, where they were located, etc. Love these two. I listened to the entire 44 minutes. They gave themselves 2 minutes to talk about 22 favorite tools they used. In the 2 minutes they told what the tool or application was, what it did, and how they used it themselves. Of course the #1 tool was the iPhone. You know, Dr. Strange should listen to this and take the list of downloads we downloaded to our computer and give a 2 minute explanation, similar to these guys' format, of what the downloads are, what are they used for and how will we use them in this course, and maybe how Dr. Strange uses the application,etc. This would be helpful to us beginners that might not know what some of these applications are used.

I commented on a 5th grader's writing assignment. The blog appeared to be a place for the students are able to practice their writing skills. This assignment appeared to be descriptive. I like the idea of using a blog as an option for writing lessons.

  1. I enjoy listening to this podcast as well. It is interesting to hear from the administrator's point of view.

  2. I agree, their knowledge of the applications and ability to concisely describe them to us was impressive.
