UMESD Blogging
This year we have been focusing on learning and getting others involved with using Web 2.0 in the classroom. One way we are encouraging this is through the use of Blogs. This short video is a recap with some examples from techers blogs in the Umatilla-Morrow ESD's service area. Teachers are using their blogs for agendas, book clubs, writing prompts, as feed readers, podcasting distributors, scrapbooks, classroom links, and much more.
Links to some teacher's Blogs:
Gary Briggs
Sheridan Zita
Stacy Buglione
Jan Nichols
Heidi Paullus
Dana Hill
One of the tools we have been using and encouraging teachers to use is LookSmart's Furl. Furl is an online bookmarking tool that allows you to archive, access, and share bookmarks all online. Categories allow you to sort your links easily. Furl also generates HTML code for you to embed into a blog or web page that will automatically update when you add a link. I created one large video and several small videos to demonstrate this process.
Step 1: Go to LookSmart's Furl and create an account.
Step 2: Create a button on your browser's link bar.
Step 3: Start Archiving
Step 4: Share URL
Step 5: Generate HTML code for web page or blog
Step 6: Embed code into web page or blog
