Thing #14


After exploring iTunes U for Texas I figured I could find stuff for the Texas history teacher but I found some great stuff for our 8th grade history teacher on WWII, the Civil War, and the US Constitution. I also found a few podcasts for the 5th Grade Science teacher about Texas animals like the Mexican Free-Tailed Bat and Click Beetle. 5th Grade does a Unit all about animals and the students have to create keynote presentations about the animal they were assigned. iTunes U is such a great FREE resource. 

My experience with bookmarking is with Delicious. I added the Delicious Google Chrome extension so it is even easier for me to bookmark and organize my websites. I don't know what I would do without Delicious. 

So because of this assignment I guess I am finally getting on Pinterst. I have held out because I know I will "pin" for hours. However, I do see the good in it for sharing educational ideas. I saw a new website on Edudemic called Learnist that is an educational website similar to Pinterest. I like Pinterest better though. Luckily Pinterest has a education section.
