By using the the i-phone, i-pod or i-pad students will be able to interact with what they are learning.
The educational apps that I revewed were: ABC Phonics Animals Free Lite - By using this
software, the students will enjoy learning.
The ABC Flash Cards will allow students to have a visual picture of objects, while being able to see how it is written. They will also be able to interact with the topics that they like and gain vocabulary along with the spelling.
I can't wait to use them in my classroom.

Tool 9: Sharing Information Through Jing & Skype
By using Jing I will be able to capture what is on the screen and use the information to help me explain it to the students. I can also share the screen captured with the person I am on the internet with.
Skype is definitely a way to have coommunication with love ones who live very far away. It is great for many business people or companies to have a video conference.

Tool 8: Video Resources
The videos are extremely very useful resources for my pre-kindergarten students. I incorporate themes in my literacy, math, science and social studies activties. Two of the themes I use are Naturalist and Transportation, so therefore this is why I chose these two videos. The video on flowers will be used during the naturalist unit. The one on transportation I really liked, because it was about the history of tranportation and that is an awesome video for students to see and find out that it was not as easy to get from one place to another.

Tool 7: Digital Storytelling
So far this was my favorite tool, not only because I made a video but also learned how to upload my pictures on the computer. It was great to take pictures of my love to beautify my house and also to write about it. Using digital storytelling will help me and my students to write, create and enjoy the students' creations.

Tool 6: Wikis
What a fabulous way to have Wiki which shows the same document for everyone to work from.
We can all get on the same document and edit instead of emailing everyone.
By using Wiki in my classroom it will help me show my students that we can all use the computer to create a list of ideas or topics that they are interested in learning about. In my Pre-K class it will also allow us to work together to create one document without having to be in the same location at the same time.

Tool 5:Tagging and Social Bookmarking
These are the two websites that I found and bookmarked in my Digo.
1. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm
2. http://teachertube.com
In order to find these hot links, I used the educaitonal and photography tags.
This bookmarking tool will be useful and will allow me to keep track of the websites that I consider have the best information on Pre-K topics and ways to use photography to make student books.

I enjoyed experimenting with this blog. I will definitely use it to help my students create their own banners. This will help them in letter names and writing, since I teach Pre-K level.
