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.

Before lunch - your goal is to summarize Comic Strip Generators!

Create a post evaluating the comic strip websites you have explored.  Share with your readers positive insights to these comic strips generators.  Which ones would you recommend? Not recommend, etc.  Display examples of your comic strips that you have created (or create a new one) on the comic strips websites. If you only explored two sites, that is not enough.  You should have explored all of so that you can identify which you prefer - which sites have the best features, which are user friendly, do you have to create an account?  Be very specific.

After lunch - Meez - for 15 minutes (or explore sites that we have already gone over or finish your Comic Strip post) - until 12:15 - please be back onto the class blog by 12:16.

We are moving on to talking email messages and pictures at 12:17.
