Web 2.0

I really enjoyed using the technology to create these tools. I first completed the concept map. I chose to do my project on story elements on first grade level. Although I really like this tool, I feel like first graders would have a difficult time understanding the webs. I wish I would have known about this tool when I taught 4th grade. Also, I have a mimio board in my classroom. I have templates that are student friendly for the grade I teach. Here is my web.

Next I worked on the gloster activity. I really enjoyed this activity although it was time consuming. I really like the fact that the graphics are so engaging. I will be using gloster in my classroom in the fall. Here is the link.

The animoto part of this project was not my favorite part. If I had the full version, I would have enjoyed the experience more at the time. I was very frustrated with having the 30 second time limit. I did not feel that I was about to put enough information in the video. I do feel that it is something that would engage my students.

I chose to use Classtools for my last part of the assignment. I chose this site because my students love games. I really liked this site. I love the fact that it is so easy to use and gives the teacher control of the questions. I can't wait to use it to design games for my students. Here are my games.
