Lennon+Murphy

My name is Lennon Murphy, and I'm a senior in at Clemson, and am currently doing my student teaching at Easley High School. I'm originally from Greenville, and at clemson my favorite things to do are hang out with my girlfriend and friends, play rugby, and watch the Tigers play! My goal is to teach and coach football and maybe rugby in a high needs area in the state of South Carolina, and try to make a difference in the lives of students.


 * Glogster**

This is my Glog. Glogster is a website/educational tool in which you can make web posters, called Glogs, that give information about a topic. In the social studies classroom, you could use these for a biography (like I did), a timeline, or to display information and statistics in a colorful and unforgettable way. My Glog is about Thomas Jefferson, and some of the things that he did in his lifetime. media type="custom" key="20837172"


 * How I Might Use a Wiki in the Classroom**

My group's Wiki was about the Branches of Government. It requires that students come up with several multimedia sources, allowing them to use the internet extensively to do this project. I think this is just one of the ways you can use Wikis in the classroom. You could make students do them, or you could have Wikis for different chapters for students to study, or just to supplement what they learned in class with secondary information. I find them to be very useful, and a very good tool for projects in and outside of the classroom.
