Storybird

Storybird is the Web 2.0 that I presented to the class. It is so cute and a great way for teachers and students to collaborate online in a creative fashion. Unlike many web 2.0 tools, storybird is already catered to teachers with the capability of creating an assignment, adding students and grading the finished products online. It's free and really cute and I will use this as a teacher to engage students more in-depth into a subject.

Animoto

I really enjoyed using Animoto. But I could really only envision using it for my own personal use rather than for a classroom. I think I may use it sparingly to introduce a new topic to older students (4th, 5th grade). It really isn't in-depth enough for me to use it as a project assignment or anything. But personally, I thought it was awesome!

Google Forms

Google Forms are really cool.
I didn't have a google account before this class and Prof. Beard noted at the beginning of the semester that being introduced to Google and all of its tools is worth being enrolled in the class. I agree with this 100%. Learning how to use all of Google's tools has been so great and useful. I will definitely use all of its functions in the future, with Google Forms being no exception. Having Google as my "secretary" is going to be a wonderful asset and I am relieved knowing that I will have all these things to be accessible to my career. I will now go and try to upload a form to my teacher website...
