4teachers.org

4teachers.org is a collection of websites and resources that allow the teacher/instructor many choices in creating online learning opportunities. I have found that the ...Star choices (rubistar for rubrics, trackstar for weblists, quizstar for online quizzes, and notestar for taking notes online) are really valuable. Just today I created 3 different rubrics for projects we are going to be doing this coming school year.

A reall cool one was KidsVid. This tool allows kids to edit and upload videos to the WWW. It also gives them suggestions from experts and from other kids.

Definitely a resource to take advantage of!

Collecting My Thoughts

As I was looking at how I was going to set up my final project, I wanted to use GooglePages. This is the same resource I used during the first class I took with Dennis O'Connor and it worked simply and well. When I located it, Google said they are not taking any new people on GooglePages as they are going to put all their time and effort into GoogleSites.

Well......I guess it's time for me to move on up as well. So I set up my final project. I'm not sure if I really like the layout. I want to be able to have a navigation bar someplace on the page, but right now I really don't have the time to do it and still meet the deadline thanks to a chiropractor visit, working at the golf course, and then working out tonight.

I expect to go back and reset it however, because i need to sign up for the next class in the cycle. Then I'll make sure I can get it working how I want.
