Monster (free app for ipad/iphone) from Scholastic. Only allows students to
practice addition and multiplication. The monster gives a number and the
students feed the monster the facts. This app focuses on speed and accuracy
which is valuable in learning math facts. The game also has levels of
difficulty. The app is engaging to students. The app is a quality piece that I
would use in the classroom during math centers.

Math songs
1. School house rock Counting by 5's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUHFzH06HqU
2. Whatcha gonna do (count by 2's, 5's 10's) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTYxfltyPgg
3. Doubles Doubles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljPKoNJH1Jg
4. Doubles Doubles (6-10 version) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFuskIXXQa4
5. School house rock multiplication http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZ4qjYOixAg
Let's just some of the schoolhouse rock isn't quality as some other websites but its still good info. My daughter is such a auditory learner and timed math fact test send her over the edge so learning facts like this is perfect for her. This is just another option for children to catch the math fact patterns. I think in centers or even during transition times this would be a great option in the classroom.

web quest
Well I finished my webquest. And although it was not my favorite activty I do see its usefulness in the classroom. I think that it would benefit students by helping them take ownership of their learning. I also see that students who do not test well could benefit from this form of evaluation. I am sure that discovering your own learning helps in the retention of information as well.
I was able to pass this webquest on to some homeschool students. I hope that they will find this beneficial in their learning as well. I hope they and their parents see how this activity could broaden their classroom setting.

power point
Wow! All I can say is wow! I never knew that you could do that with power point. I am so excited to be able to use it. There are so many more possibilities with this hypermedia tool.
Looking at the beginning of the class I felt overwhelmed and dismayed by all the new tech out there. I felt so out of touch. The school I worked in was a small Christian school and we just didn't have the funds for ANY technology. When I went to school, apparently in the dark ages, I took a class on using Polaroid Instant cameras in the classroom to document the activities of the classroom. Seriously that was the kind of tech we had going on back in the 90's. Wow! have we come a long way.
As we are over half way done with the class I am feeling quite excited about all the possibilities that are available. I am also excited about sharing all this great information with the home school families I know. I am excited about the possibilities for their families. I think several of these projects lend themselves to allowing the older children become interactive, with the aide of technology, in their own learning.

Wiki
Well I made it through the wiki lesson. I wasn't sure about it at first. I think that it could be a tool in the classroom when groups collaborating on an activity.
I think that blogging could be a useful tool for parents/teachers/students to use in the classroom. Blogging is a tool that could open the classroom walls to many classrooms abroad. I am excited about using this tool in the classroom some day.
I am currently not teaching but I know a lot parents who home school and am excited about showing them some of the new resources I've found through this class. I think some of the newer writing activites would excite the children who need an authentic audience to present to.
