Module 12: More Web 2.0 Tools

  • Think back on all the Web 2.0 tools that you explored and investigated throughout this course. Which one really stood out?  
  • Describe the tool and how you would like to engage your students with this technology.
Wow - there were so many exciting tools we explored in this course. Some of the ones that really stood out for me in this module were Facebook and Twitter (which I've been using, but the more I read about them the more I learn about them), Wordle, Voice Thread, and Prezi. In previous modules, there have been Edmodo, Flickr, Instagram, Pinterest, Delicious, Educlipper, and Voki. Which one stands out really depends upon what grade level or type of project that happens to be coming to my mind at the moment.

For right now, let me focus on Voki. I would like to use Voki to engage my students in reading and technology, by having them create an avatar to look like a character in a book they've recently read. This character would then tell us about the book (from the character's perspective).
