Social bookmarking

  1. 1. As a teacher Social bookmarking will allow me to setup websites for my students that I think would be of interest to them and me. I could teach my student how to do it and they could as they get older set up their own bookmarks for whatever interest them. Bookmarking will allow me and my students to save time looking for information. Also, it will allow us to establish relationship with people who have similar interest; thus, we will be able to share information and gain more knowledge. I think that social bookmarking is a good tool and will help me because I do not like to spend a lot of time searching the web looking for information, especially sifting through junk websites. I chose Diigo a a social bookmark website.

2. Five ideals for excell use in the classroom

  • Teachers can use Excell to create worksheets for the students in therir classroom this will make it easier for them to analyzes grades and assess students progress to see who needs help and in what subject.
  • Teachers could make up a template to list room supplies and inventory plus cost to see how much money is saved or spent each year and to see what inventory needs to be restocked.
  • Teachers can makeup a template to list classes by grade to keep attendance and at the end of a marking period offer the class with the best attendance an incentive (classroom party or take on trip)
  • Teachers also can use excell to monitor classroom activity by setting up a template to keep track of homework handed in and projects completed. The students can list goals they want to complete and they can monitor their progress toward their goals by checking the list.
