I loved BeFunky! It could be used for any science concept. Students can take an existing picture of an animal, highlight a part of the picture, and then list the highlighted characteristics and how they help the animal survive.

I really like Voki. I can use it on the library

homepage to share award winning books.

I've used the Voki on my teacher web page for the last year. I enjoyed creating the Prezi. It would be a great way to review or introduce information to the students and goes beyond the regular slides of the PowerPoint. Additionally, Prezi could be a way for students to create presentations and add their own flair and personality to presentations. Tonya

I really liked Prezi. I will be using it in future lessons. I also liked Symbaloo. It will make my websites that I visit frequently more accessible and personal.

The prezi is a nice change from a boringpower point. I also enjoyed the Avatar. I feel that my students would enjoy creating the prezi for their technology project.

I really like prezi a lot. I've used it before

but it takes practice. I'd like Voki too but I''m still leaning how

to attach the image,and not

just the link, to a prezi.

As you can see I enjoyed the Be Funky. I like the idea of transforming a picture as a form of expression. Students would love to have their creativity expressed and have fun in the process.

I liked Symbaloo. I could share my symbaloo with my teachers, so they can access the resources that are needed for the library easily

I know I will use prezi for two reasons. I enjoy doing presentations with visuals. I am also currently in school and will utilize prezi during presentations of assignments.

I really liked seeing all the different technical resources. I can see myself using Prezi most often . It's fun and engaging way to give instruction to students. I think that students will definitely appreciate the change:)

I love Voki! It is a fun way to give information

and it is easy for students to use. No more boring

presentations!

My favorite Web 2.0 lesson would

have to be BeFunky, as it was my first

time using that tool. A student who may

not have the best pencil and paper

artistic skills could have another outlet

to express their thinking and to be creative

I really liked the Voki and Prezi.

I think that my students will really like the way Prezi

is made and used. Voki will be fun for them also because

it will draw their attention.

I enjoyed Be Funky! I have never used it before and had a lot of fun exploring with it. I can't wait to have my students use it with math problems.

I like all of these tools; I liked BeFunky since it makes advanced photoshop tools readily accessible and easy to understand. All the terms are the same as in photoshop (like blend modes) so people can use it to understand the same concepts across several platforms (photoshop, lightroom, gimp, befunky, etc.)

Prezi is my favorite. PPT is overused in the classroom and having a different option where I can embed video is a nice change. I will be using it often in my class.

This was a fun course. I can see lots of places I can use these sites to improve many of the things I use in the classroom. In fact, I have already used the Voki to make a tutorial online for my students, the symbabloo page I have already customized it for my students and showed them in class yesterday. I told them it would be a great way for them to make a custom page that has links to specific course related webpages and help keep them organized electronically!

I have used most of these in class before. I think that I can

really use befunky to help the kids improve their speaking. I think they will

really enjoy the creativity it allows them while I think it will help them to speak

more independently. For me personally, symbaloo will be a great help. Teaching 6 levels

of French means that I have a LOT of favorite links and sites that I visit. This has the

potential to help me stay a lot more organized.

I really enjoyed the simplicity of Voki. I believe it is important to keep students on their toes in terms of learning. Hearing from the same person/voice over and over can get old. But if you change it up it will grab their attention in a new and inventive way.

I think that the most beneficial one for me right now would be Prezi because we use so many power points in Government and Economics that it would be nice to transfer some of them to Prezi. I think that students would enjoy the BeFunky and Wordle the most if used in lessons, especially in Government classes when teaching the Political Process unit.

I think I will use Prezi the most. I use a lot of Power Point presentations

in my classroom and Prezi is a way to make them more fluid and interesting.
