    Thanks for sharing this site, Haley! I love the free "student interactives" given under the resources tab; I just had a lot of fun exploring some of those -- especially the "printing press" which I am actually adding to my own bookmarks....it looks like a cool way to get students interested in writing, and incorporating an "app" to make their publications look more professional. Definitely something I'd like to use in my upcoming student teaching, or my own classroom! :)

    This amazing new tool (new to me at least) allows you to create a short story and set it to music using the Google Docs interface. When you are done it creates a short link to share out to all your family and friends. This has amazing implications in education and technology for use as a quick check for understanding, overview video, formative assignment, or quick creative writing assignments.

    This is a great new tool that I stumbled upon while doing some research for another project. It kind of brings together all the neat stuff Google is doing with Documents, collaboration, music, and short URLs.

    This looks like exactly what I would like to try with my students to get them doing some collaborative story writing! I would use this for creative story writing, research, and as a planning tool in 3rd grade.
  • Tyler Hellmann on 14 Nov 12
     
    This would be a cool idea in the classroom for sure!!!! Perhaps, they can collaborate and create their story before making a video or presentation - which could also be created collaboratively.

    What a great collection of Web 2.0 resources in on spot. I had no idea there was so much available in some of the areas. This site would be a great time-saver when looking for a specific tool. I've seen other lists, but this is well organized and easy to navigate.

    This is a really great idea that can be used or expanded upon in the classroom. This allows for students to think and share their thoughts without hearing a teacher's thoughts to push them in a certain direction.

    Wow! Great find. Like Andi, I like how it asks you your goals and then takes you straight there and then has ratings. I can see this being a great easy way for teachers to learn some new ways to introduce technology into lesson plans.

    This website creates word clouds and is often used to begin concept mapping or brainstorming. Students can list words that connect with each other and create a visual. Word clouds can be altered by size of the words, color, and shape.

    I've always liked this site, but often forget about it. I think kids enjoy brainstorming and creating these. I think for World Languages it has great potential as kids often just need fun ways to practice and recall words! These are also fun to save and post on class blogs, wikis, etc.
  • Randon Ruggles on 13 Nov 12
     
    This is a great site for creating truly beautiful word clouds. It has some amazing implications for classroom use with both a traditional word cloud and some crazy uses I have seen on blogs and at conferences. It is specifically helpful in the classroom to help students see commonalities with text. I really believe that this resource is mostly for student use. They can create their own word clouds, screen shot them, and save them for projects in the future. It provides a simple, but elegant, workflow and space for students to create. The FAQ section also provides some nice work arounds and ideas as well. There are a few similar sites out there that have cropped up, but this one is really the granddaddy of them all and probably the best one too. When was the last time you made a word cloud?
  • Ashley Ulin on 13 Nov 12
     
    I really love this cite. It's a great way to create a project, poem, presentation, etc. in a unique way. This is a great resource for both students and teachers. Students can use it as an alternate way to complete an assignment and teachers as an alternate way to present instruction. I myself use it often for my words wall words of the week. Thanks for sharing Kelsey.
  • Ann Hansen on 13 Nov 12
     
    Thank you Kelsey for posting this, I've seen these word clouds on websites and other places but didn't know how to make them. Now I don't have to look any further. I think this resource will be something that I could use in my classroom. It may be a tool used so students can see what words they use most in their writing or for a poetry unit. It is definitely something that I can see myself using for graphic works, either on a blog, yearbook page, or poster. This is something that I feel both students and teachers can use, but mostly students. I know there are similar sites out there, but not sure what they are.
  • Mindy Foelske on 13 Nov 12
     
    I love this cite to do word wall words and other things. I used it a great deal last year but had forgotten about it. It is not only a good resource for the teacher but the kids love it to. Thanks for refreshing my memory on this site.

Also, I really like that both teachers and students can use this website.

    This looks like a great resource. I was just thinking the other day how can I use the technologies and programs I don't know a thing about. This has it broken down really well and includes a summary with them. Very user friendly!

    Just FYI: sorry if this gets posted twice. I accidentally posted these far before the assignment was due, and wanted to ensure they are still visible on the group.
