I looked through several interesting Wikis- the ones that others created who had taken the class before, also the WikiJunior, WikiTravel, and WikiNews. I could use the WikiJunior, WikiTravel, and WikiNews within my classroom. At times, I like to show the students current events, and cool things that can be found on the web. The concept of the Wiki is all new to me, so I am anxious to share it with my students. A wiki that I could share with the class could be a layout plan for a class play. I could put all of the components on the page, and we can alter and adjust as the performance approaches.

Here are some interesting websites that I explored today: [] []
 * __Glogster__**- I created a little page for the beach. I think that I could create one of these for each month-or each marking period at school. I could highlight the upcoming events, so that students have a heads up at what is coming. After I create the page, I could link it to my blog J.
 * __Animoto__**-what a cool site. I usually use PhotoStory, but Animoto does most of the work for you. The only disadvantage is that they charge you if you want to upload a lot of pic. I could see using this program for showing the class play, the curriculum fair performance, the spelling bee, reward days, holidays, and the class trip. I could create an Animoto and link it to my blog.

 * __Wordle-__** I think that this site will be very useful for myself and my students. I have created one for the first day of school to print, laminate, and put outside my door. I could see using the Wordle for key words in a unit overview. I could have the students create them for profile projects on back to school night- reinforcing characteristics of character. Personally, I could create them for weddings and births, print on cardstock, and frame them. Wordle is just very cool!
