Tool # 6

I loved Wall Wisher.  It is so user friendly. This would be a great thing to use with small groups with a net book at their tables.  You could have group directions posted for them.  In math stations, each  group could post a sticky note about their station. Here is mine about summer.

I will be using Blogger with my parents this year.  It should be a great resource of  information for them.

I watched the tutorial video on Diigo on YouTube, and I signed up for an account. I also applied for an educator account.  I look forward to using that site to collaborate with other teachers and my students.  I can bookmark sites that I want students to use for research or skill practice.  You can add tags for topics.  You can highlight parts of text and make notes.

Technology motivates kids, and I know they will love using it.  It encourages participation anytime you use it.  Sometimes it is to get help from another user, work together on a project, or read other responses.  Today's Meet requires participation, and yet, the kids will think it is fun!  I can't wait to get started!
