For your final 11 Tools post, answer these questions:
1. What are your favorite tools you now have in your personal technology toolbox? Briefly describe a particular activity that you will plan for your students using at least one of these new tools.
My favorite tools are the google docs, wordle, and animoto. I will use these to help students better understand concepts and communicate better with my team members. The google docs will be big in the communication part.
2. How have you transfomed your thinking about the learning that will take place in your classroom?
My thinking was that these things are hard to do and apply to the classroom but they are easy and don't take much time. They will improve the understanding of my students.
3. Were there any unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?
How easy it is to apply these new tools.

Tool #11
In YOUR blog post, discuss at least three things you would want to make sure your students understand about being good digital citizens. Explain briefly how you would "teach" the idea of digital citizenship to your students.
1. Information responsibility- Everything that you put on the internet should be backed up with facts. Take credit for your ideas and opinions and give credit to others.
2. Digital Security (self-protection): electronic precautions to guarantee safety. Sudents should not put all of their information on the net. Also students should be able to recognize sites that keep their info secure. I would explain this by saying that you use locks to secure things of value or don't tell others you don't know your name. I t's the same with the net and websites.
6. Digital Law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds. I feel that this is important because we don't want students to be destructive with computers. I would explain to students that just as destroying others property physically is wrong, destroy someone's website or computer digitally is just the same.

Goole maps is a great way for students to explore other places around the world. Google maps is easy to use. I have it on my iPhone. Great for seeing places that are in line with social studies lessons or geography.

Tool #9
For your Tool #9 Assignment:
1. Discuss how the screencast could help your students and how you might have students use Jing.
Jing is really helpful in showing students how to navigate around the computer. It's very hard to walk around and make sure all students are clicking the the right things or repeating the directions over and over. Video directions can take care of the students that just need some help and the teacher can help those who may not be that computer savvy.
2. Discuss how you might use Skype with your students and share across the district, the state, the nation, or the world!
Skype can be used to connect with other Health Fitness classes in the district. Classes can share with others what they are doing or even have a question and answer session with others live.

Students could use digital storytelling to help students better understand subjects such as history or a concept such as cooperation. Letting students be a part of a storytelling process can promote better understanding of what is being taught. Teachers can use these digital stories to check for understanding.

Tool #6
IN YOUR BLOG post, discuss how students might use wikis to aid in their learning. Did any of the sample wikis you viewed give you any particular ideas for using a wiki in your classroom for students. How about for and your team or department?
Wikis are a great way for people to contribute and organize projects and ideas. One sample wiki I saw gave me an idea about eating healthy foods. Students can wiki everytime they eat healthy foods that were discussed in class. Others can add and see that they are not the only ones eating healthy. It could inspire who usually don't eat healthy to do so and list other options so that your not eating the same things.
Wikis are a great way for theams to organize projects and spend less time in meetings.
