Kathy+Schrock's+ideas

=What ideas have you found of interest on Kathy's pages?=


 * Interested in using twitter**? Here is what Kathy has to say about the use of twitter [] . Can you envisage using twitter either as part of this CPD or in your work unit? What ideas to you have?

I agree with what Kathy Schrock has to say about using twitter for short questions and answers - not essays! I really dislike it when I click on twitter entries of some of the people I follow and they have a link for a //longer// item. I know that one of my friends uses twitter with her class. She controls the logons and it is a protected account. I think that it might be an interesting way to share ideas... but so is talking to one another during class time! ~ Nicole


 * ToonDoo**

I found this link to [|ToonDoo] on Kathy's Blog. I had a go at making one... Just remember it was only quick! This could be another way for students to share their understanding by creating a cartoon. I think that the boys in my class would really enjoy making these :) ~ Nicole



A student of mine made this video that shows how to do this in a simple step-by-step process. []

 * Online conferencing** - what tools are available (free and not-so-free)? Kathy has done a summary of 'Tools for Schools: Live Online Conferencing ' at [] - how would you use these kinds of tools in your subject area/ work unit?
