Class #9

For this week's technology assignment, everyone has received a Web 2.0 tool to research:

Sondra - Make Beliefs Comix
Amanda S. - XtraNormal
Courtney - Geogebra
Erika - Storybird or StoryJumper
Ashlie - Voki
Erin - Voicethread
Kelly - Quizlet
Amanda M. - Classtools.net
Stacy - Wallwisher

Each person should prepare a presentation (no more than 15 minutes long) that explains what your Web 2.0 tool is and how it can be used in the classroom (in particular, a math classroom, but you can also include general classroom use as well).  I would also prefer that you include other websites that may be similar to the one you were assigned, but this is optional.  You do not have to use PowerPoint for this presentation.  You can, but also feel free to try other new presentation tools.  There are several really neat ones available (and I would be really impressed if you use one!!).  Here are some you may want to try...

I also said I would post additional links where you can find information about your Web 2.0 tool, in particular, how it can be used in the classroom.  I will be adding to these to our Google Sites page over the next two weeks, so you may want to check back periodically.
