Other Tools to explore

Wikis-
  • I can see benefits for language arts teachers and process writing. I would like to test wikis with a class to see if all students can access pages at the same time.
  • I have concerns with students messing about with other students' work. (This is an issue already in my middle school.)
  • I can see benefits for teacher team communication and collaboration. The issue is getting people to commit the time to learning and setting up. I know some teachers will jump on it, though!
Shelfari
  • I would like to set up an account so students can recommend books to purchase.
SlideShare
  • Used by Melissa in her final project
Groups in Yahoo and Google
  • To share handouts from class and student work
Podcasting
  • Podcast daily announcements
  • Podcast classes for students who are out for long periods of time
Smartboards and United Streaming
We currently have these two technologies in school. I would like to explore ways to incorporate them into teacher and classroom blogs.
