Podcast Favorites

The podcasts that I listened to and reflected upon were really neat and helpful. It was amazing that so many educators get together and speak about the important things that go along with education. The majority of the podcasts were about incorporating technology which was interesting because these educators had so many great resources and ideas on how to do that. My favorite podcast was by the Tech Chick Tips called Sparking their Creativity. This podcast gave so many resources that would help me in my classroom as a teacher, but also as me being a college student still! I really thought the resource webnote would be something my students would love. It is a site where students can take notes on. I remember even as a middle school and high school student myself, students bringing their internet-less computers so classes just so they could take notes on the computer rather than write them. I think even more students would want to do this now. So, I think I will offer my students to do this because it may be contribute to better learning and test scores. Another resource the Tech Chick's talked about was Quizlet. This is a resource for creating flashcards and it seems to be a lot more efficient than creating them by hand. I think students would enjoy this since they can use a computer to create them and to study them. Here are some screen captures of these wonderful resources!
