Thing 22 Reflect on a Conference

I attended the session titled 100+ STEM Websites &Webtools. This session was very informative. Not only did she provide a livebinder that had numerous websites nicely arranged but she was able to include websites that special education students can use. I especially liked the biodigital human. I have to agree she also through her presentation taught me to use livebinders. I am now able to pull up educational breaks using the computer. She also gave us access to monthly calendars suggesting a new website each day of the month.  She works at Beaufort County School District, and attended South Carolina State University.Currently she is an Instructional Technology Specialist.

My blog is about a wonderful website titled Teaching Shakespeare with Twitter. I started watching the video on Sept. 3 but restarted it Sept. 7. I found it very interesting. The presenter was Danika Barker. She had numerous ideas about how to incorporate twitter using hashtags and online conversations between students. She gave the link to her livebinder which has additional resources to use as you teach the lesson. She discussed letting the students take on different characters while they use twitter and describing their feelings.  This is definitely an idea for teaching classics but unfortunately not something I can utilize in my classroom.
