After exploring the website I found "Geek Your Teaching" to be the most beneficial. I found several ideas that I can use in my classroom. The first one was using a Wikis for group projects. It never fails that one person seems to do all the work in group projects. Now each group member can be responsible for a page. It will make grading simpler too. The second one I liked was the Make Beliefs Comix, which allows students to make a comic strip. In my World Language class, students create comic strips for new conversations they learn. This will be a perfect way to incorporate technology into this class. The third one I liked was the Animoto which will be useful for student projects. The Animoto will be a great tool for students to create presentations on. I usually never feel like I know how to incorporate technology into the classroom, but feel like I've really gained some valuable tools I can actually use.

  2. Your blog looks good and you have nice comments. I liked your comments about the Geek Your Teaching website. I am going to explore this site for my own use. I also like the curriculum project you are doing. I teach physical education but also have a history degree. Nice job.
