Literacy, Technology and My Classroom AFTER this class

This class has been remarkable. While I have reaped the benefits of the class in terms of length, etc. I almost wish I had a full semester class to explore further.

However, the things I have learned in the past seven days are remarkable and I have plans for many of them in my classroom and several in classrooms of colleagues.

In my classroom I am planning to use the following:
Skype: to communicate/videoconference with other deaf individuals
Moviemaker: To record books for my students to listen to independently away from me
Voice Thread: For me students to create audio for various activities
Jing: Many uses...most likely as a tutorial for my students on completing certain online tasks.
Animoto: for them to create videos
Captioning: Not right now...but later on as they get older for auditory exercises
Social bookmarking: to make my life between home and school easier
Webquests: To create themed units for the academics I do teach
Threaded Discussions: Still exploring, but several possible uses, questions of week, book reflections
Blogging: To keep my parents informed of various things.

While I could go on I will stop there. The capabilities of technology are endless especially within a classroom. This is going to be an exciting year and I am grateful I had the chance to take this class for I have learned so much.
