We worked with some really neat tools today. FlipSnack is a great publishing tool. I published a PDF below, not an exciting one, but it was neat to see how it worked. I can see this as a great way for students to publish research that they've done or a story they've written. WallWisher could have so many uses. It could be a way for students to post research and then gather it together into a Wordle. It could be used as a starting point for a WebQuest to introduce a topic. I also like the idea of making it a Word Wall.
What's important about these tools is that students are exposed to them and they can use them, working collaboratively. Showing the students these tools and then letting them choose a tool that works for them is important. I rarely stand and lecture because that doesn't work in grade 4 and 5 but these are different and more exciting tools for students to use. Project-based learning with a technological aspect included is certainly becoming the way to teach.
Now to figure it all out...
