CMS

CMS (Content Management System) is a computer application used to create, edit, manage, search and publish various kinds of digital media and electronic text. This is a beneficial tool for teachers because it helps teachers organize and manage some of the writing and digital things they would like to share with their classes. It keeps them more organized and helps them to present the material in a better, more organized way. This is a very simple, and important tool.

Youtube

Youtube is a very useful tool for teachers. A teacher can videotape their lecture, and post it on youtube, and then the students can go and watch the lecture as many times as they feel necessary. Youtube is also a way you can possibly make the information being taught more interesting. You could come up with some exciting and humorous video, and show it to the class. It might help some of them learn.

Podcasting

Podcasting is a very useful tool for teachers. A podcast is an audio tool, in which you can record a lecture, or basically anything you want, and post it. Then, students can download it. This is such a good tool for teachers and students, because as a teacher, when you are writing up a test, you can review some of the key points you stressed during lecture. Also, if a student misses class and needs notes, the teacher can resort to having the students listen to the podcast. Also, it is beneficial to the students because if they missed some important material in class, they can go home and listen to the podcast. Podcasting is a tool that could definitely be used in a school.

Posting a Youtube Video

I thought posting a YouTube Video was actually really easy! If you follow the directions and pay attention to what you are suppose to do, it is actually very straight forward. I did have a little trouble figuring out where we were suppose to post it, but once I figured that out, it was very easy.

I chose the video I did because I love the song! I also love the group that plays it. It is a good music video. I figured I would do something music related because music is something I like a lot. It portrays the person I am, and the interests I have. I really enjoyed this assignment!!!!

Evaluating ELM resources

ELM resources are very beneficial to teachers. They give a lot of different information and resources. I evaluated proquest. It was a very interesting resource. It was more centered around research, and stuff like that, so it was a very good resource. I thought it was a good resource because all the information was presented into a different way than what I was use to! I liked looking at the different resources.

Webquest

This is the url to my webquest:

I really enjoyed making my webquest! It was very interesting! I think it would be a very useful tool for any person going into teaching! You can get so many ideas from other teachers on how to make a lesson plan more enjoyable, or even more effective! It was very cool and interesting! I could definitely see myself using this in the future! It is a good way to display a lesson plan as well. It is a good way for all teachers to see different ways of teaching the same material.
