Software reviews
After looking over each of the websites I decided that I would probably use www.educationworld.com when considering software for my students. I also like www.superkids.com, which looked to contain the largest number of titles. Education world seemed to be the most recently updated since they provide a weekly newsletter. I did not see that any of the sites included revews submitted by site visitors.
Web 2.0
This week I have been working with Glogster, Animoto, and classtools.net. I loved classtools.net. I feel that students would love the idea of playing games to learn. Animoto was my next favorite. I found it easy to use and could provide information in a new and interesting way. Glogster was my least favorite. However, it could be because it was the first time I had used it.
