Having fun exploring!

I must admit that when I first opened the link to all of the Web 2.0 tools I was a little scared. I could not believe that there were that many different tools out there. How did I fall so far behind? Then I started clicking on them and checking them out and I had a lot of fun. Two of my favorites were StoryJumper and Fotobabble. I created a story for this week’s assignment using StoryJumper and it was relatively simple to use. I can definitely see the benefits for use in the classroom. Kids could create their own nonfiction books to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. I do not have a microphone for my laptop so I could not try Fotobabble, but I am going to go shopping this week to get one. I think that students could create some wonderful projects with either of these tools. Both sites at first glance seem very user friendly (I have not tried to set up my classes in StoryJumper yet). I plan on spending more time on this site in the future, but now I am off to explore Kindle.
