Web+2.0+Tools

Amber Warren- Kidblog.org is a great blog site for educators. It is a great way to communicate with your students or stay in touch with parents of your students. My plan is to update my weekly blog based on the theme for the week at my preschool. I will edit the blog daily informing the parents about the different activities the children participated in for the day. I will include pictures of the children participating in the activity.The parents in my classroom can go to the blog with their children and show them the pictures This will hopefully lead to a fun discussion talking about what the children enjoyed at school for the day. Go check out my class blog at [] or [|http://kidblog.org] to create your own blog. The username is amberwarren and password is runnergirl for my class blog.

Debbie Keyes- I have chosen to use the web 2.0 tool Slide Share. Slide share is used to upload powerpoint presentations to the web to share. I am just getting use to new technology. I have used ppt before. I use this in the teaching process to be able to share with others. This ppt is on learning the dewey decimal system which is a hard concept for students. I hope to use this to make it somewhat interesting for students. Slide Share Keyes

Heather Jones- Vuvox.com is a wonderful tool for teachers and students. This site allows the user to create multimedia presentations using their own photos or photos from the web to create slide shows. The user can also add text and music for a more engaging slide show presentation. Vuvox.com

Rachael Seago- edublogs.org is a great tool for teachers and students to use. This site allows teachers and students to create blogs to communicate with each in a safe environment. This is for teachers and students only. This site can be used to inform, facilitate online discussions, and allow for students to reflect or upload videos and etc. edublogs.org

Kristy Keck-Prezi.com is a tool for students and teachers. You can take a powerpoint presentation already created and import it to your 'Prezi' page. By making a few changes to the angles, set-up, or order of your slides, you can re-create and make a new twist on a project. This is just one of the cool features I've explored so far on Prezi. prezi.com

=== Malerie Roberts-Game Classroom **gameclassroom.com** is a wonderful website for teachers, parents, and students. Thinking of creating a Wiki for my classroom newsletter, after parents read what were learning, the units were in, and homework they can go to this site and specifically go to the skill their child needs to study or work on and practice those skills through the games and actitivities on this site. It is organized by grade level and then the subject and skill. It is very readable, easy to navigate, and all the materials are approved and used by educators around the world. So instead of searching for all of those websites with games, worksheets, and interactive tools, it's all at one site. I would put a link to this on my Wiki. [|Game Classroom] ==280slides.com This site allows teachers and students to make creative presentations.= I created a presentation and then made a wiki for my science class. Hope you enjoy!
