__**Web 2.0 Connections:**__ 1. __Google Earth__ - I plan on using Google Earth in housing class. We talk about the definition of a home and I will then have them use Google Earth to find their home. Also during this class we talk about retirement communities and planned communities. I have them research a planned community so we could use Google Earth to look up the location and take a picture of the screen to show the planned community they have researched.





2. __Wordle__ - I would use wordle for signs for the Family and Consumer Science doors and in class the students would use Wordle to show what foods have say vitamin C or vitamin D, etc. We would then hang these on the walls to help remember where you can get these vitamins and minerals.

3. __Wiki/Blog__ - I will use either a wiki or a blog to have a class running discussion in health class. We will journal about different health issues and the students will type back and forth to each other about the health issues that are present.

4. __Glogster__ - I will use a glogster for several presentation purposes in my classroom. An example of one is for Health Semester Tests. They are to research a sexually transmitted disease and do a glogster on the STD they are given. After the research is done they need to present to their class. They will be given things that are required on the glogster and they can add other items if wanted. Here is an example of a glogster I quickly put together. []

5. __Zooburst, storyjumpers, kerpoof, ebooks, bookbuilder__ - I will use these web 2.0 applications to have my Parenting classes make a Children's book. I usually do this activity and they all chose to just do it on paper. I will show examples of what these applications can do to make a children's book and then they will make a children's book on a social issue dealing with children. This goes along with the Iowa Core lesson we put together as a group. []

6. __Webquests__ - I have been very interested in webquests for many years. Problem is I have not found many good ones. The ones I find usually have broken links and that can be very frustrating. I found a webquest that Diane Goudy and I could possibly use in Life Essentials class this next year. Here is the example I found:[]

1. __Hootsuite/Twitter__ - I will use Hootsuite to tweet with several different groups. I have hashtags for #fcsd, #moodle, #health, #parenting author. This will hopefully be a useful tool to keep up-to-date with new things happening in the different fields.

2. __Google Reader__ - I actually didn't think I would like this site but I have begun to enjoy the serious eats blog I have subscribed to. This will be a useful tool to read because it gives lots of ideas for recipes and things to keep up on in the food world. It also gives a listing of TV shows to watch that could be interesting in the food world. Other subscriptions I have added are free technology for teachers, health.com, parenting issues and how stuff works health.

3. __Diigo__ - I will use diigo as a sharing network for people and websites that I frequent. This tool will help me organize an ongoing, online library of bookmarked resources specific to an area of content. This tool will help support my classroom content as I will be able to get resources and techniques for classroom.
