Social Bookmarking

I really like the idea of being able to share my favorite websites with friends, parents and students. I liked the fact that I can add users and by doing that, I can also be added and benefit from others work. We all know that time these days are hard to find and why reinvent the wheel. As teachers we are good at beg, borrowing and stealing ideas. Why not do it on the Internet also. I would definitely work on adding sites to my delicious account as the year progresses. I might even consider having the kids use my links in doing research this year.

SlideShare.com

WOW! This was really neat. I found this really neat slide show on SlideShare.com. It is of landscapes. I chose this slideshow because I felt I could use this in my class to help extend writing. Check out the slideshow:

Slide Show

Today after some long hard work, I have created a slideshow. This slide show was created so I could share my family with everyone. Using Slide.com in my class would be a great tool. I know I can use this when my class creates their readers theater or when my kids do presentations. Students could be the one responsible for taking pictures and placing them in a slideshow. What a great free tool to use in the classroom. Check out my slide show- Zawacki Family
