Teachers Check This Out!

I know there are a lot of teachers who read my blog so I thought I would share this! Remember last week when I mentioned that this semester I'm having to do tons of technology related projects? Well...last Thursday I turned in my Web 2.0 projects - my teacher had us create five different activities from the five sites listed below!

(click on link to go to site)

1. The first site is Wordle.net. I created this Weather Wordle....you could create a fun wordle for one of your lessons or have your students create their own!
2. On this website you can turn your pictures into trading cards. I made 5 trading cards for The Water Cycle...here is one for an example! These would be great to help students review different things!

3. I loved Scrapblog! At this site you can create your own little book! I did my scrapblog on the life cycle of a frog. Here is the last page of my book....How cute is that? You could even have your students create their own book!

4. Another site where you can create your own book is Mixbook.com. I created a book on the four seasons! Here is one page I made of one of my favorite seasons!5. Click here for the last website! I couldn't post a picture because you can create picture videos on this site!

And the good thing is that ALL of these websites are FREE! Go check them out! ;)

I have used all of those sites! I Love wordle for vocab and such.

However, my masters is all about using technology in the classroom...so thats why I know about most of them :) Also, I know a TON more...so if you're ever stuck, you know who to ask!
