Tool # 4

These google tools are great and exciting. We do not have to worry about e-mailing. We will be able to complete each others work if we want to work on something together from anywhere. This is so cool!!!! Google Reader is also fantastic because we will be able to keep up with world news or other personal interest real easy. It will also be beneficial for our students because they will be able to come to this site and do work. The teacher will be able to check who is doing the work and who is sharing with others. It will be very exciting for both teachers and students!!!!!

Tool # 5

I found that Diigo is a lot easier to navigate than Delicious. It will be very beneficial in my classroom because when I or my children find a good web-site we want to share with the rest of our classmates or with the rest of the 1st grade team we can just bookmark and nobody will have to be searching for the websites. They will be readily available.

Cats

Tool #3.1

We study the life cycle of various insects. The learner can write about and experience they had with this insect or write about its life cycle.

Tool #3

The learner can utilize their imagination and write a story about this picture or any picture they post on their blog. This will add to the learning of each student because each student will come up with their own story by using their creativity.

Tool #2

I believe this is going to be a great tool for communicating with our students and fellow teachers.
It will bring us into the 21st century with technology. Our students will love this. We will learn a lot about our students. They will learn alot and be very prepared for the future. We will also learn a lot about what is going on in each others classes and how our fellow teachers think. I have visited and commented on various sites: (1)Teaching to Read, (2)My Blog, (3)My six year old student surprises, (4) 2nd Grade Blooger and (5) Mary-saurus.
