This page shows links and pictures of what I have done with technology this school year (2007-2008).

a [|website] - I made this website in iWeb, you should all have it installed on your computers already. You can see the address is jethrojones.com/fhms. I have my own website which is how I publish the content on the web. We might be able to make our websites that are something like fhms.jordan.k12.ut.us/MrJones/ <- but I don't know if that is a possibility. wikis - This is an example of a wiki. We will talk about these later, but a wiki is basically a website that a lot of people can edit and change things on. This wiki is maintained pretty much only by my students. I created the site, and they created almost all the content. They do a very good job of keeping it up to date. audio responses to literature - There is a website called gabcast.com where you can call in and record things and the website will put the recordings on your website or make it a podcast that people can subscribe to. For this experiment, my students read their favorite quote from the novel we are reading right now. polling - We do various polls at different times. The first one on that page was one that I asked when a bunch senteo clickers Skype video calls with a class in Kansas Skype video calls for student-led conferences - [|quizzes] on iPods - You can make quizzes for iPods that the kids can download and install on their computers. [|calendar] - This is how my students find out about missing assignments, etc.
