The class is designed to teach students about web applications, digital citizenship, personal network building, and social media responsibility and practice. This blog will be used to share with our readers the tools, websites, and web resources that students are learning about. We hope that you find a tool that you can utilize.

There are so many web applications available on the Internet that students may not even know exist. In this course, students will explore the Internet and take advantage of all that it has to offer. Students will learn that Google is more than just a search engine. They will discover various web applications that will help make their time on the Internet more effective and efficient. The web applications that will be explored include, but are not limited to: sharing buttons, blogs, avatars, RSS, social bookmarking, photo sharing/editing, audio and video, presentation, drawing, collaboration tools, and screencasts. Internet marketing and shopping sites will also be explored. Students will explore applications of which they can utilize to enhance both their learning and social experiences. Students will learn and practice digital literacy and responsibility, collaborate, share, create, socialize, and organize content, while demonstrating internet safety. Upon leaving this course students will be informed digital learner/citizen!


I LOVE LOVE LOVE looking for new tools to share with my students! I explore the web daily in search of new tools. I also gain knowledge from other Social Media blogs/websites who have found resourceful tools. Thank you to all of those experts who share their love for technology with the rest of us!


I also enjoy looking at the students creativity - through their blogs! My students love exploring Social Media! And will walk away with a collection of tools (their own Personal Learning Network) that will enhance their Internet experience both personally, educationally, and professionally.

Cbox - Chat for the Social Web

Add a chat box to your blog. 

Get a Cbox and add a new dimension of interaction to your website or blog. Cbox is a unique chat and messaging application that brings the best features of traditional chat to the social web. And the best part – Cbox Basic is completely free.
  1. Go to Cbox and create an account.
  2. After your account is created you will need to click on the PUBLISH link in the menu bar.
  3. Add cbox to your blog.  Copy the code and add it as a gadget on your blog.  I have added mine to our class blog.
  4. Click the LOOK AND FEEL on the menu bar to change the color, etc. of your message box.--any changes that you make to your cbox - you do not have to repaste the code.  All changes will automatically update your cbox.
  5. Take a look at the OPTIONS, USERS AND ACCESS, MESSAGES on the menu bar to change settings, etc.
  6. You must visit three other classmates blogs and leave them a message.  Reply back to messages left on your cbox.
