Web 2.0 Tools

Last week many of you had a chance to visit the cooltoolsforschool WIKI.  This award winning WIKI is an outstanding resource for us all.  This week you will be using a a resource to help you create a descriptive paragraph about one of the tools featured on this WIKI.  Take this opportunity to go outside of your comfort zone.  Take a look at one of the categories you wouldn't normally select.  There are some great tools in the creativity and mapping categories.  I would like you to avoid tools which will allow you simply listen to music or watch videos.  I know you can perform both of these tasks with ease.  Once you have chosen a tool it may be necessary to create an account to fully experience all of the components of it.  Please use your school Google account information to sign up for this account.  You will want to add this site and your log in information to your school sites table.  Remember to use your tools to edit your description.  This will become a blog post in the very near future and I would like it to be ready to go when your blog is set up.  Have fun exploring the new tool.  I cannot wait for my students to introduce me to a new slew of tools.
