What an awesome way to introduce or re-ignite excitement about the periodic table! I can certainly see students using this in the classroom. Also, how motivating to be able to use their cellphone or tablet!!

The use and importance of integrating Open Education Resources into your classroom.

This was a cool resource I had found for an ITU that I'm creating that is based on plants

I like Gizmo a lot. I actually used this same link in one of my projects for another class!

This website is a good tool for teachers to map student's ideas within the classroom. Teachers can model the use of this website and have their students use it as well.

Mindmeister is a great resource for students! Graphic organizers are a powerful tool to help organize thinking. Mindmeister's ability to bring collaboration into the mix just makes it better, as well as being able to present. Works on multiple types of devices too, so good for everyone!

I really like this software! When I think of Social Bookmarking I want to use it to help me find different tools that will benefit me in my classroom. I can think of a time where I am going to want a nice mind mapping software that you can collaborate with, and I know I will be able to come and look at this resource. I agree that this software could be used very effectively, especially because it does have the collaboration tool. I believe this tool could be used both for the teacher and also the student. I could see how easily I could use this website in my life, both when trying to explain things and also in group work. I am aware of different concept maps you can create online, but I believe this one looks user friendly and I would like to explore it even more!

I just actually thought this was a short pretty interesting read, it gives you both sides of the story

I thought this was a useful resource for the introduction of using social media in the classroom being straight forward with the pros and cons. I think this resource would be useful if it were linked with a website that explained how to combat the cons that are pointed out in this article. For example, how can we take the cyber bullying issue and turn it into a learning opportunity in the classroom. I believe this resource should be used to help teachers decide if they want to utilize social media in the classroom. I am aware of multiple resources that point out the pros and cons in social media.

This was very short, sweet and to the point. It got the points across fairly simply. It would be a good link for an RWLD or something along those lines. A great supplemental read that doesn't take too long to get through and understand.
