Thing 9 – Exploring Web 2.0 Tools
Okay, I don't totally get what makes an Internet site Web2.0. Is Livejournal Web2.0? Blackboard? If I'm understanding it correctly, the term refers to sites where users can add or edit content, and comment to the content of other users. In which case, it isn't really new, in fact it's basically everywhere these days. What's still new though, is the push to integrate it into education.
It's definitely the way the future is going to be going. It didn't take Steve Hargadon to convince me; more and more of our communication is happening online and, like it or not, schools are going to have to catch up and do more teaching the same way. I've known this for a while. Maybe that's because I just trained to be a teacher two years ago, and I know what a potent distraction my Facebook was during class-time.
Maybe it's because I come to teaching out of a background writing fan fiction: I know from experience, how much a person can learn about writing, when their stories are being judged by their peers. Fan fiction, incidentally, is something I would love to incorporate into my teaching (and I am not the only person who has had this idea, see for example, this article by Henry Jenkins). It's got a wonderful potential for freeing up creativity. For one thing, you start out writing about a story, comic book, or even a TV show that you already like. For another thing, you only have to come up with the plotline, the characters and the scene have already been written for you by someone else. It is very easy to establish a readership. I know from my own experience that there is a huge potential audience out there, eager for more stories about their favorite characters.
I've even found a lesson plan for using fan fiction to teach writing. Unlike the authors Bristow and VanHoven however, I am hesitant. And all you'd have to do is take a quick look around Fanfiction.net to feel the same way. A lot of the stories there are ...well, let's just say they are not classroom-safe; there's plenty of sex, and drinking, and the language in many of them would make a passing administrator blench. I would never use any of the established fanfiction websites in a classroom. On the other hand though, maybe this is just where I could use a Wiki: Maybe what I could do would be to use Wikidot to make my own site, and let students post their works, and critique others' works, there.
And having mentioned Wikidot, that brings me back to the subject of this post: I've taken a look at an awful lot of the Web2.0 tools and Nings listed at Clovis23Things' Thing09. And I've come up with a list of some that I could use in teaching. Wikidot is the first one. After that, here are the other four:
There were several grading sites listed at Seomoz, but of them, I think I like Engrade the best. It's free, and it can be accessed by students and their families, as well as by teachers. It gives a place to post calendars and assignments, and it tabulates student grades, ongoing, as the grades for each assignment are input. Posting grades and calendars online is a great way to communicate with students and their families. If I teach in a situation where the school does not have its own similar site already in use, I will definitely use Engrade.
Carbonmade is another site that looks like it has great potential in a school situation. This site allows users to set up an account, and then create portfolios related to different subjects or assignments. Portfolio creation is a great way for assessing student progress, and for assigning a grade for a unit of study. As a teacher at an online school (I hope), I will not be able to make much use of real, physical portfolios, but Carbonmade will allow my students to organize their digital work into portfolios for presentation and review.
A less comprehensive site, that still interests me, is One Sentence. Here, users are challenged to synopsize real-life stories into one interesting sentence that tells the story completely. It is a fascinating place just to look around and read what other people have written. One-Sentence stories that have already approved are posted for others to read, and there is another section that shows stories that have not yet been approved, and asks readers whether they think they should be approved. This would be a good site for encouraging creativity. Writing things that really happened can be less threatening than having to come up with an original fictional plot. And writing stories that only have to be one sentence long can be less threatening than having to write longer pieces.
Another site that has real potential is Internet Archive. This site will be incredibly useful if I ever end up teaching a History class. In addition to collecting other materials in digital form, it also archives web pages as they were at different historical moments, such as during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and right after September the 11th. As yet, it has barely scratched the surface of its usefulness (and I for one was barely even aware that there was an Internet in 2001, except as a means for sending emails), but it is going to become a more and more necessary reference. An awful lot of news begins online these days (take, for example, the Iranian elections of the past month, which were chronicled on Youtube and Twitter). And an awful lot of it changes very rapidly. I get my headlines first thing off an Internet site (The Huffington Post); more and more often, I will read a story that broke only a few hours earlier, and by the time I get up at 5:00 AM, there will already be several updates posted. More and more often, articles will have to provide screen shots of something that another site posted, because it was taken down again so quickly. I think Internet Archive offers an invaluable service, and one that is needed by modern history students: It collects historical information that never made it onto actual paper, which is going to make up a larger and larger part of the information out there, as time goes by. If I ever get a History class, I will give this resource to my students to use in researching recent history.
The final site that I found while doing this research, is less educational, but I think it could be used in teaching: Yelp is a site that gives local information, much like Craigslist. What makes it different, is that instead of classified ad postings, what it provides is reviews of local businesses. This would be a good place to find out about local stores that I might want to use to buy supplies, or local museum exhibits and other attractions to which I might want to take my students. I've used this site to check what patrons think about the various branches of the Fresno County Library (some helpful reviews, but they all miss the most important point: the only way consistently to get new books you haven't seen yet, is to alternate which branches you visit). I've looked up bookstores (And actually there are more of them than I would have expected). This is a great site in general, but it will definitely be useful to me as a teacher.
These are the five sites I learned about through my research today. In closing, I would like to mention one more: I was reading the discussion about Blogging and Avatars, on the Curriculum Connections Wiki. It made the good point that asking underage users to identify themselves with an Avatar, rather than with a photograph, is a good idea, as it discourages online stalking. Gaia Dream Avatar is a good site for making cute, anime-style Avatars. I made the avatar I'm using right now there. It's a fun site, addictive rather in the same way most Creativity-Inducing Websites are, and it certainly gives an alternative to using a photograph in a public forum.
It's definitely the way the future is going to be going. It didn't take Steve Hargadon to convince me; more and more of our communication is happening online and, like it or not, schools are going to have to catch up and do more teaching the same way.

Thing 8 – Free Technology Resources
Free Technology 4 Teachers is a wonderful blog! It's hard to keep up with, because the author, Richard Byrne posts A LOT. But it is a great resource. I spent the morning reading there, and following links. It wasn't just Byrne's posts that made the site good; a lot of times, he posted showing some good sites he'd found, and then other people commented to his post, and they gave links to more, or better material. I hope I end up teaching someplace with a strong technology component to the curriculum, because I found at least a dozen good things that I could use in a classroom, just with a couple hours' browsing. Here is the cream of what I found today:
Aviary has a wonderful screen capture tool, here. Basically, you just type aviary.com/ before the http on whatever web address you want to capture -- I just went up and typed it at the beginning of the page I was on at the time -- and very quickly and easily it will make a screenshot of it for you. I don't know what use this would be in a classroom, but it's fun, and I can see it might be amusing to, say, take screen captures of your Facebook page or something.
On a more practical note, I found wonderful resources for using video in, say, a Social Studies classroom: Timelines.TV is a site with some great videos, covering English and American History (relating just to American History, The Civil War in Four Minutes is another great video, and you can find that at Teaching the Civil War with Technology, a cool site that someone had embedded in a comment to Byrne's blog). What would be really cool to do with a class, would be to begin by giving them some of the Timelines videos (or the Civil War video) to watch, and then challenging them to make videos of their own.
Two great places to make videos are: Remix America, and Animoto. I've only tried out Remix America so far. It makes itself more attractive; the first thing you see when you enter the site is a sample video, and a blurb about what a WONDERFUL thing it is, to immortalize one's patriotism, or one's political outlook, by doing a historical video (I think the verbiage might date back to the Presidential campaign last year, when history and politics were the flavor of the month). That got me going, and I signed up for membership, and then made a video, which I shall tell about next.
The tutorial is not the easiest thing in the world to follow. You can actually make a video entirely from material already on the site, or you can use the site to search for images, video and audio and then you can use those. Once you're making a video, these options become clear and easy to use. The only option the tutorial actually explains how to do though, is using files that are already on your computer. For this reason, before I made my video, I found and downloaded all the material I thought I would need.
Free Technology 4 Teachers gave me a lot of help, finding material that was not copyrighted. Byrne has a great post with links to sites where you can download reproducible photos, including World Images Kiosk, and Photos 8. In an earlier post, he links to Picturing the Century, a wonderful archive of images, from all through the 20th century, all presented with explanations of what the picture shows. And in another, he explains how to use Google Advanced Search, specifically to search for copyright-free images. Here's a screenshot. What you do is to change filtering to "labeled for reuse".
(Yeah, here's a way where Aviary could be used in teaching.)
If you want a soundtrack for your video, Byrne also links to some nice sites for finding copyright-free music. Podsafe Audio is a good one. And what's good about the post with those links, is that Matthew Needleman commented to it, with a link to a post in his own blog, Creating Lifetime Learners, which has links to lots more, really good copyright-free music sites, including the wonderful Absolute Sound Effects Archive.
Between those and the materials already available on the site at Remix America, it is easy to create a video to retell a historical event from your own perspective. I won't say it's easy to create a good one, but it's fun to watch what you created afterward. Here's my video:
Just to get back to Animoto, it looks like a good site, maybe with a more broad appeal than Remix America. It isn't specifically directed toward History. It also doesn't have a very appealing home page though. There's no sample videos, nothing to read. All there is, is an appeal to become a member at the site.

Thing 6: What I have learned about Image Generators
First of all, generators run the risk of being one of the biggest time-wasters in the world. I started out on Thing 6 24 hours ago, I was going to look at the recommended sites, do a couple of images, and post before we left the house at 3:00 to check out martial arts studios. Now, a day later, I'm here trying to condense a few coherent thoughts, and still with the sense that I could do better images if I went back and tried a few more times. For what it's worth though, here's what I've learned:
Of the sites I tried, I think BIG HUGE LABS was the best overall. Second best was COMIC STRIP GENERATOR, and it's the differences that show why BIG HUGE LABS is great. Both allow you to upload your own pictures, decorate them, and frame them or use them to create posters. I tried both services, and I found I could customize easier at BIG HUGE LABS. There were options that allowed me to design a certain type of poster, but with my own text. Let me give you an example:
Here is a magazine cover I did on COMIC BOOK GENERATOR. It's cute, and it gave my kids a laugh to see themselves peering out from behind the title of a "men's magazine", but it's not my words in the title. None of the article names are mine. The site gave me several types of magazines to choose from, but did not allow me to customize as well as putting in my own pictures.
Now compare that with what I was able to do on BIG HUGE LABS:
The first pictures I did were just easy, kind of cheap take-offs of the LOLCats pictures my kids love so very very much. (Incidentally, ICanHasCheezburger.com has a LOLCats generator that's pretty good if you want to put dialogue to some cat pictures yourself)
What I liked about using the generators at BIG HUGE LABS, was that they used my own text, but they placed it so that it looked like some standard, normal kinds of posters and internet images. The LOLCats are one example, here is another:
I like how I only had to come up with the words for this poster, BIG HUGE LABS put them where they would be most effective. There are lots and lots of other generators at the site, I barely scratched the surface, but you can bet I'm going back and check them all out!
Okay, those are the two best generator-sites that I looked at. Here are my thoughts about a few of the others: ImageChef has got some potential. It doesn't work well for me, because it's designed for only tiny bits of text per image, and I tend to be pretty wordy. I'd definitely use it in the classroom though. There are a lot of kids out there who have trouble coming up with a lot of words, and it might be a nice way to stimulate their creativity.
A couple of other sites that I like, that are not mentioned in the Thing 6 post at Clovis23Things, are Wordle and Halrloprillalar's Drabble-Matic. I wouldn't recommend either of them for classroom use, they're both strictly for the tired teacher/parent, looking to relax.
Wordle takes random chunks of text and turns them into art. Examples:
AP headline July 8, 2009
California Economy in Chaos
I can see de-stressing myself some afternoon, by turning some of the more illiterate essays I got in class that day, into art.
As for the Drabble-Maker, it's a little suggestive, in a way that comes across fairly innocent to me. But I know from living with two teenage boys, that they'd be sniggering lewdly the whole time. I would not use it in any situation with teenage boys. On the other hand, you have to love a site that lets you make a silly story in two minutes or less.

DNA Will Out
Okay, bear with me, this is a long story: First of all, my parents just celebrated their 50th anniversary in Barstow this past weekend. And I have to give my dad credit, he's in his 80's now, but he's really interested in technology. He likes knowing about new things, and when he doesn't know about something, he likes to learn. So my youngest sister Beth and I were talking about our upcoming visit for the anniversary, and she suggested that while we were there, we should show my dad how to make a Myspace profile.
Myspace is very useful in our family, because my sister does not actually have regular access to an email account, and she does not live in town with any of us; I'm the closest to her, and I live in Fresno, she lives in San Francisco. So, the best way to get in touch with her is through her Myspace, which might help my parents stay in touch ...if they ever actually logged onto their Myspace when they didn't have daughters around reminding them.
Which they don't very often. At any rate, while we were there reminding them, my dad posted some photos from the time he spent in the Navy, back right after World War II. He posted four, and once I was back home again with my own computer, I downloaded all of them to my hard drive, and then saved them to my Flickr account.
And I'd noticed that my younger son takes after my dad's side of the family before, but there was one of the Navy pictures was really incredible. Here, take a look, it's almost like looking at the same person isn't it?
David, this Halloween; he wore his Grim Reaper costume to church on Halloween, only to find that he had to take off the scary mask before he could pass the UNICEF dish during worship.
And my dad; I think it's the rosy cheeks in this picture that make him look so much like David. Aww, he was a cute little sailor, he looks about 10 years old in this picture.

Home Library, 7/2009
Well now, this is harder than I expected. Setting up the account on Flickr was easy enough (they always make those things easy don't they?), and uploading photos to it was a breeze. Where it got hard is... Well, it's hard now. I want to do a post with all the library photos I took, but I can't figure out how to blog more than one of them at a time, using Flickr.
That's why I'm doing it here instead. If you want to take a look at the library set on my Flickr account though, you'll see the same photos there, tagged as recommended in the assignment:
I would also like to learn how to cut and post part of what I am writing behind the cut. Anyone know the html to do that?
