GPS

Using the GPS to find different locations was a lot of fun. We did have a problem finding our second location but that was because we were given the wrong coordinates. But overall I really enjoyed using the GPS. I could see myself using this to teach kids about latitude and longitude and make a treasure hunt out of it.

We showed our pictures to you in class

Zotero

Zotero is a great tool to be able to group all of your websites depending on the subject of the website.

I could see myself using Zotero to keep all of my websites together for a project and with Zotero I am able to high light stuff and write myself notes to remind me what I wanted from that website.

Delicious

I would use Delicious for resources for my students. The students would be able to go to the class Delicious page and look at the resources I put on there so they can use them to help with there projects.

Prezi

Prezi is a fun and new way to make a powerpoint. Here is my little prezi presentation I made about Google Sketchup.

Twitter Answers

Twitter Answers is an application that can be used to answers different questions. You can ask any question you want and someone will answers it. I don't know how accurate it is but it can be used as a quick check of things. Twitter Answers can be used in the classroom whenever a student may have a question. Or you could use it in a activity to see how accurate the answers are. You could have the kids look up an answer to something and ask that same question to Twitter Answers and see if it is the same answer.

I think this would be a fun activity to not only give the kids a chance to work on there research skills but to test to see how accurate Twitter Answers is also.
