This week in class we learned about more sites that we could use for module #1. We also explored these sites and saw what they could do in general and what they could do for us in the classroom as students and teachers.
Some of the sites that we talked about were flickr, Delicious, Gimp, and a couple more. Flickr is a photo sharing site that allows people to share their best photographs with the world. People can comment on the photos and also tag certain things in the photo. Delicious is a social bookmarking site where people bookmark internet sites with great information so that people know that it is a reliable site to use. This site is very helpful for students doing research papers. The last one which was Gimp is a photo manipulating site. This site is like adobe photo shop but its free. It allows you to take any photo and change it to your pleasing.
In class this week i worked on and finished module #1 which was our first big assignment. It took me about 2 days to finish. But even though it took me a while and it was homework so of course i didnt want to do it, i learned a lot about the different kinds of tools that are on the internet and what they can do to help us just not in the classroom but with everyday online stuff.
