Podcasting
I visited the Texas Education on iTunes U and I found so many resources. One of the newest videos is on Phonemic Awareness, which is a topic that we are currently discussing in my PreK/K Curriculum and Instruction course and I hope to explore it more in depth to learn more about it. I also found several videos, slides, and handouts on English and Spanish Language Arts and Reading so that teachers can understand how to implement the TEKS, English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPS), and College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) in the classroom.
Bookmarking
I have already created an account on Delicious on classroom resources in English and Spanish. I found many different sites with lesson plans, games, videos, music, activities, and resources in both languages for future use. I think that Delicious is a great tool because you are able to access your bookmarks in multiple computers and there is no danger of losing bookmarks if a computer does not work.
I decided to explore Pinterest after hearing that several of my classmates love the site. I had to create an account by requesting an invite and while I waited for the email to be sent, I was able to look through the boards others had made. There were boards on recipes, clothes, and even home decorations.
After I have received my invite, and I was able to create my boards! I have begun with 5 boards: Wise Words, Teaching, My Wish List, Books Worth Reading, and Craft Ideas. I have pinned several things, and I can see why it can be such an addicting site! Now I want to pin everything I see!
Great exploring!
