Thing 6

My link to vine:

I love vine! I have a vine on my phone, and an account.  Vine is basically like youtube, except the videos except the videos are shorter and you can conveniently take them from your phone or computer.  I found these videos really interesting.  The pros about this website are that it is quick and easy to upload videos, and it's convenient.  I would use vine with my students, it's free to set up an account, and I would use it to post quick videos about anything I might have forgot to tell them in class, or if they had any quick questions for me I could vine back and forth with them to answer their questions. The website is personal enough to give out the necessary information to my students, but not so personal to where the students have my actual phone number.

Commenting helps create a sense of community and interaction because It's one thing to just post your your own opinions, and another thing to see others share your same opinion! I know I feel happy when people say nice things about me or my opinions, and I know others feel the same way. I commented by saying something that I liked about each individual blog and was honestly sincere. I wanted them all to know that someone thinks their ideas are great, because that's what I would love to hear.

Thing 5

I think "School 2.0" just means a school filled with all kinds of future technology.  To me, a School 2.0 would always have the latest technology, and would be very dynamic, because technology is always changing. All the teachers would use smart boards, ipads, and mac computers.  All the students would submit all homework online. The School 2.0 would always be up to date.
 

Thing 3

I think I could use a blog in my teaching career for a few things.  I could use a blog to keep in contact with my students' parents, and keep them up to date with activities and events going on in class. I could also use a blog to keep open so my students could go online and discuss homework problems openly with their other classmates, and reach me if they have questions specifically for the teacher.  There are several more reasons for blog usage educationally, but those were my two favorites.
