A few amazing things about Symbaloo as a portfolio tool: If you use a Google Doc as a tile, it will show without having to leave the page (e.g., your TaskStream narratives). If you add an RSS feed of your blog, the center of the blog will show your latest posts. The Twitter tile will function in the center as well. You can name tiles and put pictures or screenshots of your own work on a tile. And lastly, we will be able to embed the finished product into TaskStream!!
As far as this evening goes, you will be working on your iMovie PSAs and any other work you may be missing. I will discuss the final TaskStream narratives as well as go over the Symbaloo webmix that will be an impressive portfolio of some of the work you have completed for this class. I also want to apologize for being behind in grading your assignments. I have been a bit overwhelmed this semester with multiple classes and it has put me a behind in my grading. I will do my very best to get everything graded by the end of the weekend so you can fix anything that may need to be revised. Please do not hesitate to discuss any assignments that you may need help completing or are not quite understanding. I can create some time next week to come to campus on a separate day if I need to, but does this required communicating with me.
This Week's Question: What has been your favorite assignment this semester and why?
My favorite assignment thus far has been the blogger. I am very excited to of started a blog page and I am going to start a personal blog page that I can put up and pictures and write. I have not started one yet because I have been to overwhelmed with all of my other assignments. I am excited to use all of these great tools that we have learned and use them in my personal life when I have the free time:)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Journal #1: 100 Things that make me happy. That journal was really fun to make, and it was when I first made my blog which was cool because I felt so high-tech!
ReplyDeleteO goodness. I would have to say the News letter or the Blogger. Or even the video. I have always wanted to learn how to edit a video and now I know. I is simple and makes me want to go out and buy a video camera! Make some homemade videos !
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kara! The 100 things that make me happy. It was easy and brought a smile to my face.

My favorite assignment was the Prezi presentation, not because I learned and used many tools, such as Animoto, that I had never heard of. I also liked crating a Twitter account and communicating with other teachers through #Ntchat.
ReplyDeleteThe video (public service announcement) has been my favorite assignment. I was able to learn something new and I love to create things like that. I can use that knowledge in so many ways and it didn't take very long. The hardest part of the assignment was looking for the facts.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed making the Prezi presentation because I could be creative. Also, I like Prezi because it will be very useful throughout the rest of my college career and my teaching career!
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed creating the blog and adding to it this whole semester. I just learned so much and enjoyed connecting with people.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite assignment would be creating a blog. I think this is an awesome assignment that allows for a lot of creativity. I think that this has also been a great way for us to get to know our classmates. I love that this was our personal project! It is something to look back on as well or even keep it going after the class is over.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed every assignment. I am so stoked to have learned about Prezi, Symbaloo, Google docs and so much more! One of my favorite assignments was the Mind-mapping. I enjoyed this assignment because it allowed me to reflect on all the assignments we worked on through out the semester and connect them to their appropriate NETS-T. I have also enjoyed having to constantly correct Jeff and his grammatical errors;-) <3 <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed the Diigo assignment because I use it all the time now. I love how I can create a list of all the cool websites I stumble on.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite assignment thus far is a tie between the Prezi and the PSA iMovie, I have actually used what i've learned from both of these tools more than once. Prezi has especially been helpful for several of my other class presentations, so thanks!
ReplyDeleteI liked creating and posting all of our assignments in our blog. Looking back at my blog I feel so accomplished looking at all of my completed work!
ReplyDeleteI really loved making the classroom newsletter :) it made me feel like a real teacher and I really liked pretending I was teaching 3rd grade! It was so fun!! Thanks for assigning it!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite assignment this semester was the classroom newsletter. I like color and pictures and that assignment had everything color and pictures! :D
ReplyDeleteI really liked outlining the NETS. I know that sounds crazy, but it made me realize just how much we have done and how many new skills we acquired throughout this semester. As for an actual product of enjoyment, I would have to say that I am enthralled to have made an iMovie, and I can't wait to use it to document my next adventure!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed making the Prezi. I have always loved creating artistic powerpoints and trying to "wow" my audience. The Prezi really allowed me to find even more ways to be creative.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite assignment this semester would have to be our personal blogs. I love how it showcases all of our assignments in in one place in an organized way. I also like how I can easily look over everything I have accomplished!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite assignment this semester was creating and maintaining our blogs. I have never been a blogger, but after becoming familiar with Blogger and seeing how easy it is to document different online activities or to write journal article, I am planning on making a personal blog.
ReplyDeleteMY favorite assignment was doing the mindmap. I found it to be very fun and creative. All the things we could incorporate and add was very neat.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite assignment this semester has been the blog. I feel that it can carry over into my professional career as well as my personal life. I can manage it and its super cool.
