Those of you that work in smaller districts and are in charge of several clubs or organizations can probably relate to making a multitude of "to-do-lists". Remember the milk is a way for you to create to-do-lists online that you can access anywhere and can even download the application to your iPhone!
If you are a listmaker, check out this website. You can make personalized lists or chose from premade lists created by others. Everything from traveling, chores, homework, and groceries. Perhaps a disorganized student could benefit from trying this out?
A list of links to support the use of Web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning in the K-12 environment. \n\n(There are many items here, so be sure to visit the additional pages or choose to see 100 items from the bottom of the page.)
Fatburgr provides nutrition information for many of your favorite restaurants. Calories, fat grams, carbs, and fiber are all listed for menu items from restaurants such as Schlotzsky's, Chili's, McDonald's, Panera Bread, Krispy Kreme, and many more. With the focus on childhood obesity, this is a great site for kids (and adults) to compare menu items and learn how to make better choices when eating out. This site could be a fun resource for a health, or maybe even a math, activity.
Wordle is a great Web 2.0 tool to motivate students to look at word choice in their writing. The words that are used frequently, are displayed larger in the word cloud.
Wordle is a site for creating "word clouds." Paste text into the site and it will automatically create a word cloud. The larger words indicate the words that are used frequently in the text. Students can put a piece of writing to see which words are overused. There is a gallery to display your wordle with everyone.
Wordle helps create word clouds. You enter words and the more often a word is entered, the larger the word will appear in the word cloud. It's a fun way to make posters that are fun and informative. It would be a good way to have students create posters over books they've read, end of the unit displays, etc. One tip that I received for Wordle is that it is helpful to type your words in a Word document first so that you can edit them and make sure they are all spelled correctly. If you have a typo in your Wordle, you can't edit it. You have to retype all of the words.
This site lists resources that answer your questions about technology. It gives the website to go to for just about everything you would need/want to do.
This site allows the user to enter a vocabulary list and create flashcards, take tests and much more over the words. User can share the words with others via the internet. Retesting is possible. This would be great for students to use to help study vocabulary and learn new words.
