The title pretty much explains it all.

Apples For Teachers-Project 11.

This project was made possible by Dillon Rogers, Autumn Wiggins, and me. We decided to do this project based on the idea that Iphones should be allowed in the classroom for educational purposes. The phone has several applications that could be very valuable for teachers to use.

Comment4Kids...

This project has been an eye opener of how kids are really getting into technology. Seeing children develop their blogs,and posting their projects was pretty cool. I enjoyed giving positive encouragement to all of these kids. You can tell that they work so hard on these assignments, and that they enjoy making the posts. A few examples that I have are Rising Stars Room 12&13, RBS 4th Grade Blog, and a fifth grade class blog.
The Rising Stars had a group of children who made a Gingerbread story. It was really cool how they narrated the animation.
I posted a comment on one of the boy's post on RBS. His post was about one of vacations to Wyoming, and how he went hunting. It was adorable.
The Fifth grade class blog was just getting started. This was the first time for the kids to start blogging.
Overall, this project was a lot of fun!

My PLN...

Well, let's just say my PLN is a work in progress. I'm new to a lot of this stuff so I haven't got a big list yet.However, I fully intend to continue building my network even after this class is over. One blog that I follow is At The Teacher's Desk. This is probably one of my favorite blogs. I think it's great that teachers can contribute their ideas or stories. It gives you a different point of view, and is helpful for all teachers. Another blog that I follow is Dear Kaia. She is the cutest little girl,and it's wonderful that her dad keeps up with her blog. Room 10 @ Pt. England school is another blog I follow. The kids posting their projects online is amazing. It makes me wish that we would have had something like that when I was a little kid. Mr. McClung's blog is also in my PLN. He seems like a pretty cool teacher who really cares about his students. I'm just going to keep on learning, and hopefully I will be able to add others to my PLN. All of this was possible due to the weekly assignments Dr. Strange gave us. I will definitely keep up with them,and find more that I want to join.
