A few favorite resources

My three favorite resources that I learned about last semester in Educational Media/Technology were Animoto, Delicious, and Scrapblog.

1) Animoto is a very neat tool to create amazing videos very easily! I was surprised with how easy it was to create such an awesome video. I will enjoy using Animoto in the future for personal use with many of my favorite pictures. I can also see how I could use Animoto for professional use if I would ever need to give a presentation or create a fun video of pictures of the students in my classroom.

2) I found to Delicious to be a great tool for storing and organizing all of your favorite bookmarks. I can definitely see this coming in handy personally and professionally. I will really like being able to find my bookmarks from any computer I am on, not just my own. I can use this in teaching to bookmark great teaching websites for ideas and lesson plans.

3) I personally really enjoyed Scrapblog, because I love pictures and love to scrapbook. This was a great way to use digital pictures and not have to pay for prints and scrapbooking materials. I could use this professionally by creating a scrapblog of pictures of the students in my classroom, or having the students create their own scrapblog of a field trip they went on or some other project they did.
I created a Scrapblog of pictures of my two dogs. Click here to view my work.
