This is a great tool. We used Photostory during PBL, and the kids really enjoyed it. I can see students creating their projects and then using them to teach the class.

Wikis can be used to get students more involved in the curriculum. Students can use a wiki for peer reviews on their writing pieces. Teachers can use a wiki for presentations.

Tool #5
These are the two websites I used quite a bit:
http://www.readinga-z.com/
http://www.sciencea-z.com/
Two websites that my students will enjoy using on their free time:
http://www.funbrain.com/
http://www.coolmath-games.com/
Social bookmarking can be used in the classroom by giving the ability for students to share bookmarks with each other. This is also a great resource for teachers to keep track of some helpful website and be able to share it with team members.

Tool #4
I enjoyed using Google Docs and the Google reader! Google Docs is a great way to share information. Google reader a great way to keep all the blogs you are following organized for easy access.
I used Google reader to follow my 4th grade team, our Principal, and AP.

Tool #2
Building an online education community is a way for educators to keep current with the ever changing world of technology. PLNs are a way for teachers to be continuously growing, while sharing our ideas with colleagues and providing feedback.
Commenting is a part of us communicating. It’s a way to provide constructive feedback or add to the other person’s thought. Invite comments that people leave by interacting with those that left them.
Five blogs I commented on:

Not so hard at all. Directions were straight forward and easy to follow. I already had a Google account, so I just had to setup my blog and avatar.
Only downside I see to using this in the classroom is students having to have an e-mail address to get started; otherwise, pretty simple and effective.
