Thing #12

I explored every tool and spent way too much time doing it. Some of the tools were just fun. Blabberize and Picnik are two. I "played" with these two tools for quite a while. I hope my family appreciates what I did to their pictures. I also started a photo album/scrapbook of my son with MixBook. Though I "played" with those tools for my personal use several of the others would be useful in the classroom setting. I liked the use of Writeboard for students to share their writing and for peer response/input. The Quizlet would be great for just about any subject. The idea of getting immediate feedback after completing a test is helpful. I knew right then if I had selected the correct answer. I tried the Weebly, but I guess I didn't spend enough time exploring it. No technical expertise was needed to create a website but you had to know what and how all the drag-and-drop features were used. I didn't! TimeGlider and Ta-da List would be good for a students or teacher to create a project checklist or due dates. Students would be able to check when certain tasks were to be completed. The last tool I will mention is the LetterPop. This could be used for final products on a students project or as a student or teacher created classroom newsletter.
