My favorite tool is Anamoto. I really enjoyed learning and using it because it was so user friendly and the end product was so visual. I can envisionusing Aniamoto in my classroom as a way to introduce myself at the beginning of the year. DRW
I love the idea of using Glogster in the classroom. I feel it would put the kids on an even plane when it comes to creativity and artistic talent. I also think the kids would be so enthusiastic about using the tool that the parents wouldn't be involved in the final project! I never do traditional posters in my classes because I find them boring, but Glogster would definitely change that. I also like YouTube for educators. I typed in Dia de los muertos because I always do a big project on that celebration in my classes. I was directed to some fantastic videos that the kids would love. Instead of relying on outdated videos I could get up-to-date information that is more relevant and interesting.LL
I really liked checking out Glogster. I also enjoyed looking at Animate 4 Schools and Comic Life. I think younger students would be drawn to these tools. Students could really tap into their creativity. Students would enjoy doing brief reports using these tools. JC
My favorite tool we learned about today was "Go Animate 4 Schools." I really liked this tool because it is new and fun. I could envision using it by having students research a science subject and create a visual comic-strip. Then they could present to other students as a teaching tool. DRW
My favorite was storybird endless possibilites for young children to use their imaginations to create original stories. The epals were also interesting because of the diverse school population which would allow the opportunity to converse with children in other countries.
I visited gloster and searched through lots of pages. Many were interesting, and some took me to places that I use in my clases already... without glogging! I also visited the Youtube/edu and found that what I use almost daily is actually modern...
??!! There's so much to see/do/create and so little time!! I really want to explore Storybird; I think that my French students could do great projects with it. I plan to spend more time with this one, perhaps for my final presentation. Another tool that I'd like to explore and become more comfortable with is YouTube for educators. I already use YouTube almost daily, to supplement my lessons. I think that the educator strain of YouTube would enhance my searches and be more geared toward my specific needs. css

I enjoyed Storybird. It is a great tool to create digital books. Some great artwork is provided and students provide the words. BC

I can't wait to use epals. I think that it is going to be a great tool to motivate my students to use what we learn in class.CW

Loved Glogster and will use the travel ones in my class. Also used You Tube for educations and saw cute grammar videos I can use. KM

I am looking forward most to trying out storybird in my classroom. BUT I think all of them were useable in some way! CT
