    Education City is an interactive website that helps students develop skills within Reading/Language Arts, Math, and Science classrooms. This site provides support for these subject areas by incorporating educational games and interactive lessons for teachers. Teachers can first introduce or review a concept as a whole/small group activity using their interactive whiteboards. Then, students can complete individualized activities on the website, or they can complete worksheets printed off from the site. The website correlates with state standards and is a great tool to use as a Response to Intervention (RTI) programs because it allows the teacher to track individual students' progress in each subject area. Education City is a learner-centered application because it focuses on cognitive growth of individual students by allowing teachers to differentiate instruction and provide support for special needs students.

    This is a website that I have used for many years in both my general education first grade and special education classrooms. It provides individual short stories accompanied with songs, focused on basic phonetic and reading skills typically used in primary grades. I think this site to be very learner centered, since basic reading skills are regularly learned and this site can be facilitated as a strategy for building phonemic awareness skills in young children. It also is a wonderful tool for those older ELL students to learn and practice English. As Mayer stated, technology must be used in a way that is consistent with the way in which people learn (2009). Starfall.com provides strategies such as audio, songs and visuals to assist in students becoming better readers.

    Starfall is an interactive site that helps students to learn how to read. Its primary goals are to help kindergarteners develop phonemic awareness, reading fluency, reading comprehension, and vocabulary skills; however, it can also be used to help older students with special needs develop these skills as well. By integrating Starfall's activities, teachers meet the requirement of implementing learner-centered activities and are able to meet students' cognitive needs when learning how to read.

    Wikispaces claims it "…makes managing your class a breeze, with tools to handle day-to-day work and features to tackle the special activities you've only dreamed of." It allows a presenter a venue for organizing, navigating through, and presenting multimedia in a learning management system (LMS) type environment. It is engaging and pace oriented while also being accessible and editable to anyone the creator allows to enlist. Wikispaces creates a presentation forum for learners to build knowledge at their own pace. It is free to users in education.

    This is an excellent collaborative brainstorming tool for creating a mind map. This could be excellent for PreTraining or for a graphic organizer. Imagine your class having this open while you present key information, and they create their mind map of your concepts.

    Bubbl.us http://www.bubbl.us/ Bubbl.us is a free application that allows users to brainstorm and think online using colorful mind maps. While this application is a bit different from Webspiration the concept is the same. If you are looking for a very simple and easier to use program for younger students this might just be your answer! With just a hit on the enter key you can quickly and easily design and create spider mind maps. I believe that Bubbl.us is a website that can absolutely help learners think with more organization and it illustrates how connections can be made between information. Compared to Webspiration Bubbl.us seems a bit elementary to my likings for my high school students, but for someone who is working with the elementary crowd this would be perfect because there are not as many bells and whistles to this program. Even though students are still able to modify colors and change the location of the bubbles.

    Online bubble maps that can be used in the planning process for presentations. This tool is user-friendly and will allow teachers to share access with each other throughout the workshop. The sharing feature of this tool will also promote the needed collaboration among the group.

    An online mind mapping application which is very user friendly. Throughout the presentation process, this tool will provide opportunities for the instructor and participants to design webs related to covered material. For instance, in my workshop, webs can be used to illustrate various teaching and learning strategies for each special education category visually. This application is somewhat different to navigate than Webspiration, which I have frequently used in the past as well as Inspiration in the classroom. It took a few moments of trial and error to determine where certain element tabs and buttons were, but it also presents graphics which have a more professional appearance.

    This is a free site that allows for brainstorming and creating graphic organizers. It automatically arranges bubbles as you type and allows you to manually arrange them. Bubbl can create colorful mind maps online, share and work with friends and embed mind maps in your blog or website.

    This site allows you create mind maps. It easily allows you to branch out your ideas. I like this site because it is easy to use, you simply click an existing bubble and it creates a new branch. It is also very easy to change the font and the color of the bubbles.

    Mind map creator. Easy to use, free, and has a variety of presentation options.

    Bubbl us is a graphic organizer used to organize ideas. As I viewed the site, I thought I could offer this to my students who might be intimidated by the use of graphic organizers on the web. Using this site might reduce the extraneous process because the goal is to organize thoughts not learn a new tool.

    Scribbler is a great, user friendly multi-user whiteboard application where groups and individuals can meet together and not only create, but edit and converse about assignments and projects. This can be used for an entire session of a workshop to meet online rather than face to face, or through a website.
