ECETECH

This is a website that allows teachers to create collages out of photographs. These collages can be used as wallpaper and can also be put on different objects such as mousepads and coffee mugs to be purchased from the website. This is a great way for teachers to be able to display photos of the students and even photos of the students' artwork.

Wikispaces is an excellent tool for creating a website for a classroom. Children or teachers can create the website and continually update it. It seems to be a pretty good website since this is a wikispace!

This site is child-friendly and would be great for making your own website. It is easy to use, and it gives you many ways to create a unique, colorful, and educational website. There are many examples of websites that can be viewed as well.

This looks like a wonderful website! The design layout was very clear to understand, and there are so many options (personal, business, etc.) I liked that there were websites to view, because I am not a very creative person, and I need a little help occasionally! :)

Twitter is an easy way to communicate with friends, co-workers, and other people. For us, as teachers, it is a great way to communicate with parents what is happening in the classroom!

Twitter has become a very popular site over the last 2 years. This site would be more appropriate for teachers and parents. Teachers could follow someone in the public eye that has importance to education, and parents can follow teachers. By "follow", I mean that if you "follow" someone, you receive updates from them to your phone and/or web. It is a great way to stay connected! Many times parents are curious as to what their children are doing/learning that moment, and teachers can express this through using Twitter.

After evaluating this site even more, there is not always a guarantee that a website that is posted to someone's update would work or be available. This could cause concern and frustration for a parent or student trying to stay in communication with a teacher through Twitter.

This site allows anyone to create their own website. It is easy to use, and it can help you create an educational website. It seems to be more aimed at use for businesses, but it could easily be used to create a website for a preschool classroom to keep the parents and teachers on the same page!

This is a great site for creating a website. It is easy to use, gives you lots of options to create an individualized and unique website, and could be used in any classroom (from preschool to college!) for creating a class website to keep students, parents, and teachers on the same page.

This is a tool that allows users to manage their twitter accounts and tweets from other users on one program on their personal computer. This tool can be combined with other social networking sites. Teachers could use tweet deck to send out tweets and information to their students or parents of their students about what is going on in their classroom

This is a good description of how twitter can be useful in a classroom.

This website is wonderful! It is a great way to have group discussions between teachers, as well as teachers and parents. A teacher can post a picture or video of something going on within the classroom to share with the student's parents and receive comments in five different ways! Five! If you join any group, you can post a comment by telephone, typing, computer microphone, webcam, or uploading an audio file. That's such a variety! That allows easier access for parents, as well as other teachers who want to be involved.

After deeply evaluating this website, I found it more difficult to find specific documents that I would prefer to find. This could be difficult for a learner online.

Record onscreen activity. Edit it into a polished video. Share with the world. Camtasia Studio makes you look like a pro.

With this site you can create a face using various types of eyes, noses, lips, ears, eyebrows and hair. Once you have created a face you can manipulate it by scaling it up or down, rotating or flipping it. You also have the option to save your picture and email it to friends and family. Overall, I think this is a good site for children to explore creative technology. My biggest concerned was I could not find a statement on who the target audience was. For this reason be sure to carefully watch children when they are at this site.

I really liked and enjoyed this website! I liked the freedom to personalize the face I was creating. With the editing tools of color and scaling up and down, I was able to create numerous completely different faces. I think this activity could be great for older children and could let them explore all of the options online art sites can offer.

Good resource for both parents/ teachers. Hours of fun for kids!

This is a great site for parents, teachers, and kids. It is filled with lesson plans, craft ideas, and thousands of coloring pages.

The National Association for the Education of Young Children Technology & Young Children Interest Forum has a website with information about their projects, and a link collection with information on "Tech with Children", "Tech Tools for Educators", "Tech at Home" and Research.

Many opportunities for students to create and interact with art. From abstracts to collages, students will definitely find ways to unleash their creativity.

Open-ended drawing and story creation for children.

Kerpoof is all about having fun, discovering things, and being creative. Use kerpoof to make artwork, make an animated movie, make a printed card, t-shirt, or mug, tell a story, make a drawing, etc!!!

Kerpoof Studio is a website for children to create books, cards, drawings, movies, or a picture. It is sponsored by the Walt Disney Company, but is not Disney themed. It is easy to navigate and very child friendly.

Through the use of a mixture of video and interactive activities, Artiscan introduces children to the world of contemporary visual art. ArtisanCam has been designed to help teachers deliver a creative curriculum and inspire young artists of the future.

This is a collaborative document site that allows any number of collaborators to access their documents from any computer and will remind you of changes made. The website has many ofher useful features. You could use this tool in any number of ways. Students could use this site, but younger students would need some help and guidance.

This is a collaborative document tool that has three different links so that you can customize your document depending on whether you are part of a workgroup, enterprise, or community. Teachers could use the workgroup version to collaborate on assignments or other things going on in the school. You could also use the community tool to collaborate with parents.

This is just a great website for anyone to look at different issues may it be related to legal, education, religion, etc.

This is a great for future teachers to explore difference ideas, resources to help with lesson plans and curriculum planning. I think is perfect for the future teacher! I really got a lot of this blog!
