Wow, I couldn't let this assignment go un-noticed. Poscasting was one of the funnest things I did in This class. I tried beanpod, yes I know, after a while I was mixing everything up. lol. I made an account to all the suggestions that Dr. Lambert and other class members had suggested. I would get so close, but no cigar!!!
I was unable to download the tutorial, Don't ask me why, since I supposedly prepared my whole house to where I am able to do anything I needed to for this class. I used skype to talk to diff rent class members, they tried God Bless Their Hearts; but they had had trouble too. "Trial and error" they said; so I did exactly that and was able to record on pod bean and it vanished, wow!!!!
I then was able to supposedly publish my first official Podcast on Podomatic, I used my 14 year old sun, Jaafer; together, we were able to record and supposedly publish a podcast titled "How should you choose the correct school district for your child to attend". Ohhhh, yes I know, it's not on my wiki page; I couldn't find it on their. Yeah, the podcast window was there, but the video wasn't. :(((
At last, I called my sister ( remember her from my wiki page ) she was able to get int my account and download the tutorial. She walked me through it; and I was able to successful publish my third or forth podcast, twice. You hear that, not just once but twice. I saw that other people were going through the same thing and I deleted one of the pod casts off of my Wiki page via their instructions. Thanks.
The good news is, I now know how to publish a podcast and am using this method with my son's class. The teacher is welcoming to it. Thanks for reading my story of the P.O.D.C.A.S.T

In this blog, I would like to introduce to you the program that I am working with. You can concider this to be from the same family as blackboard and moodle. This project is the reason why I wanted to learn more about using the internet in the classroom or workplace.
The software is a web-based application that provides an online collaboration space for a business’s workforce. It allows a business to organize online, and help an office go, and remain paperless without the need to heavy overhead IT costs. This application, powered by Microsoft technology, is powerful and customizable to a client’s communication needs. Centralized communication goes beyond the cost savings, allowing a business to communicate efficiently without the need for broadcast emails, virus infiltration, and communication breakdown.
In an educational setting the software will serve as an adminstrative tool where faculty and the adminstration can collaborate and communicate. Also the software can also be utilized as a learning tool for students. They will be able to access software at anytime to view class announcements, retrieve documents and much more. The software can help with the business aspects of running the school as well as serve as a valuable resource for students to improve learning.
This program can customized to fit all of your school needs.
Let me know what you think..

Blogging & Twittering
This blog should have been my first, I was behind but no matter what the outcome, I still wanted to complete all of the things that I needed to. This has become so easy that now I can blog easily, at first, it was new and I felt so lost but so enlightened. I now know how to work my way around blogging, i have commented on some of my classmates' bloggs. Dr. Lambert mntioned that she didn't see the comments. Also, I have tried to comment on the web 2.o blogg and was unsuccessful; therefore I am assuming that maybe I have not reached my full potential around blogging. I will continue to work around it.
I believe he that the value of blogging and twittering must be used correctly for the educational purposes. Teacher and Administrators and Parents must always accompany each blogg and tweet lesson or link with the "Do Not" words, so that students and people don't run with some of the bad that could accompany those Apps.
Now, I was happy to learn about Twittering because it is a term that I hear alot around my children and on TV, so when they said: "Follow me on Twitter", I would be able to actually know what they mean and maybe decide to follow them. I have chosen to follow Sade as my first twitter because she is one of my favorite Artists. I would like my students to follow people that could change their life or be better influence on them, unfortunely, I have found that tweeting is not being used to its full potential. Wow, know what and where people around the world are doing and going to do!! I can follow great scientists, writers, etc...
This has also opened my eyes to the term blogging and twittering; I see that many of my kids' teachers use blogging in their classroom and amongs other teachers. I don't believe that their students make too much use of it because when I asked my daughter and her other classmates; they were unsure of what it was or how it has benefit them. They did however recognize the term as something they continuily use around their teachers. Therefore, I believe that when it is time for me to teach next year God Willing, I will have looked at every potential that blogging can benefit students and other staff members and make total use out of it. As of right now, I would like to introduce a new software that I have been working with that can change communication throughout the whole school and possibly the district. Read about it on my next Blogg :)

Cynthia, I have tried to post. This will be my second time trying. The Apps that you have chosen are very helpful to us Administrators. What an Idea, a presentation on the go. we don't have to worry about emailing a presentation and whether it will open in that program or not. This gives you access to the slide show presentations from where ever everyone is present at. Also, your 2nd App is so helpfull, I actually saw my daughter use this in her paper to find and write her references. I will be using this tool from now on :) (this comment was suppose to be made to Cynthia, I was unable to post it on her blog, please let me know where I am going wrong, this is the 3rd try, Thanks

Evolution in the Internet: Web 2.0 Applications
This blog has taught me how to use and maneuver around the web 2.o applications. I will for sure put into prat ice the different helpful techniques that are available.
The first web 2.0 App that I have chosen is uTutti; it is an a web program that allows music teachers the full time management that they need to freely teach their classrooms. classroom administrative duties usually take up more than half of the teachers time. It is a fact that without good classroom management; teachers will not have a smooth and goal driven lesson. Also, planning is most crucial for any lesson given in any subject. This program provides less time and effort on management and more on quality teaching. This App does most of the work for you at the touch of your finger tips. Most important, teachers can access their classroom planning sessions from anywhere. Its like a mobile classroom management system; I love it and teachers would love it. I hope I can convince my staff to use such technology. These are some of the ways that the teachers use this App for: Active seating charts, class lists and special assignment, student and parent information and contact, inventory, fundraisers, emails and reports, and much more. Imagine being able to complete all of your planning from home or anywhere else. Totally freeing the teacher to teach with more confidence and less confusion for both, the teacher, the student, and the professor. https://www.ututti.com/
For my second web 2.0 App, I have chosen GlobalScholar, a three in one App. You know how many times I sit and wonder if their is more that I could do for students at home. I know that I'm not there when they are struggling at home; and no one their to help. Parents often feel trapped because they are unsure of the homework themselves. They wish they can provide and receive a lending hand with homework so that they can have quality time with their children. This first App can offer that help with endless possibilities. First, it offers a simple-user friendly online tutoring program. This is where parents, students, and teachers can with out no worries make the connection with educators that are ready and willing to give appropriate one-on-one tutoring, homework help, study skills. This can be used anytime and it is set up to also be used as a self-paced learning and tutoring program. Wow, I don't want to begin to explain how much help this will offer to home schooled students and charter schools. Secondly, the GlobalScholar platform is also available for use by schools and/or school districts. It will enable teachers and administrators to creatively manage the curriculum and align it with the content standards to be followed. It is efficient and effective to be used with assessments, observations, and testing. It is not a substitute for the teacher, it is Marley a supplement to enhance learning from all parts. Teachers and Administrators can progress by finding and managing the professional developments that they continuously need for constant improvement of teaching and all other professional needs. An all in one App which will assist communities of learners: Parents, students, teachers, schools, and school districts. Pinnacle PD is the term used to track student and teacher learning. Last but not least, we often run across all kinds of web sites trying to sell us different school and colleges. This App can safely and efficiently help students, graduates, and professionals gain all the information they need to locate the ideal college or school to attend. Begin life with the correct tactics to drive your self to a healthy accredited colleges and school to attend in person or online. That can get very con fussing; how do we know we are choosing the right program of study or the correct school.
You see, three for the price of one, App to help all the aspects of learning, http://www.globalscholar.com/
Go visit these sites, I know you will enjoy them just as I did...
