Web 2.0: Making our Lives a Little Easier

After exploring the Web 2.0 tools extensively over the past week I was finally able to choose a tool that I felt would be most beneficial for students that I will and have worked with. I chose to use Glogster Edu as my medium with creating a poster/newsletter about a a writing tool that I have never seen before, but have become very excited about. I did a poster about using bookr . Bookr happens to be an extremely user friendly site about creating online books with pictures from the internet. The student types in the kind of pictures they want in their story and they can then add it to the text they have typed in at the bottom of the page. This site is also very amusing in the fact that the student can use their mouse to turn the page at the end just like a real book. I could see this program being used by grade 5 all the way up to 12. The student can then email their story to the teacher for easy grading or feedback. Truly a great tool for any teacher.
