Idea+and+Tool+Exploration

**Idea and Tool Exploration**
Holy Mackerel!!! These were amazing!! I really liked yackpack - this would be great for classroom work, also vikiwiki was a good tool for use. I think this would be easier for me to use than blogging.

Art.com was a lot of fun and I really got into it - a good stress reliever! Didn't know this was available for use and so easy to use - I've seen students use something like this but had a tough time doing it myself (it wasn't this site)

Flicker and picnik have some great classroom application possibilities, but not sure I would choose to use them - afraid of the outcomes! Wordle is so much fun and I will be using this in the classroom - can't wait to see the outcomes! I am going to try this with my 8th graders this week (if out tech guy can get my computer to get on the internet & onto the smart board!) What a great way to see how the vocabulary relates to one another. With the clever designs it makes, it will also be good to post for Open House...

I have added the go2web20 site into my favorites & diigo for reference after this class is done - too much there for me to remember ..... Mae Jemison gave me a lot to think about, and some quotes I will be posting in my class!
