Cool Tools for School

Wow, I had no idea how many neat Web 2.0 tools were out there! I can't wait to get more familiar with the tools and incorporate them into lessons with my fifth graders. Here are my thoughts on a few I have checked out so far:

Prezi: The tutorial was great, and the program looks easy to use. I like the presentation with pictures and text all visible. The movement of the presentation make it interesting to the viewer and easy to zoom in on the text one wants to see.

Viddix: I like that this tool allows a dual screen: one for video and the other for text or pictures. You have to have a webcam or a video recorder to upload video. I think would be fun for students to give a presentation, but do not prefer it for the course project because I would rather not talk through the information on video. I also thought the website and instructions for the tool were quite complex.

Museum Box: I liked the historical aspect of this site. It provides a good visual layout of pictures with the opportunity to add additional text. The thematic part of this tool is great! I think my students would enjoy creating a museum box, but I would use it when pictures are the primary part of your presentation. These look fairly easy to create.

Letterpop: I loved this site. The introduction was simple and instructions were concise and easy. This would be a great way to make a brochure, newsletter, or flyer on a topic. You can then share it using social media sites or email. In fact, I may try to make my next monthly class newsletter on this site! You could present information for the organism project easily.

Gloggster: An easy to use site where you can create posters of information. I like this idea, but would not choose it for the endangered species project because I feel it might be difficult to arrange the various topics of information in a way that would be easy for the viewer to see.
