1. I really like the way the "101 Podcasts" look. They are simple, and they look like they would be fairly easy to produce. Having said that, the podcasts would take a lot of planning, research, and collaboration, as well as working knowledge of multiple technologies.

2. Students could produce PowerPoints, VoiceThreads, or Prezis, depending on the students' comfort level.

3. If students knew how to use photo editing software, they could produce collages, murals, or edited photographs that explain a concept or answer an overarching question.


 * I really like the idea of having the students make Ken-Burns-style documentaries to explore concepts, but I'm thinking we need to take technological baby steps for the time being.

1. Students could blog as they read a book. They can blog about their opinions, questions about the book, what they like/dislike, and make predictions. This will allow studnets to interact with their texts. Students can also respond to others and answer questions or make comments. This can be done with Blogspot.com

2. Students can create movie trailers that not only summarize a novel, but convey the tone and mood of the piece. Through the use of images, text, music, and effects, students will create a 30 second trailer summarizing the text and showing their knowledge of tone and mood. This can be done with Animoto.com

3. Students in my speech class can create visual aids with edu.glogster.com. They can create interactive posters that can help enhance what they are trying to say. It could be something as simple as a collage to engage their audience.

1. **www.blogger.com**

Students write in their blogs almost daily. Their posts are often left up to them, but the teachers sometimes suggest topics. The students have started to care about such things as spelling and grammar. They are also left with a record of their work. They can see they progression in their writing 2. **www.animoto.com** This is a great tool for making a quick, exciting video to demonstrate a concept or show a product 3. **http://stripgenerator.com/strip/create** Cartoon generator - Students may create a comic strip using different frames, characters, various items, and text to tell a story or show characters answering questions

 * I am going to have my students participate in a blog. They can post questions about the day's activities, maybe designate a person per day to blog notes for the class. **I will be using www.blogger.com.**
 * I love glogster for online posters and visual aids. **I will be using edu.glogster.com.**
 * I would like to try to use the timeline generator that was introduced in last week's lesson. I could see several activities that I could add that as a tech component.

This is my first year teaching 9th grade Language Arts. I feel that there are so many things that I feel could be useful to my students. Photopeach is more than just basic powerpoint presentations. I think students can be more creatitve by setting their slide show to music. URL: [|www.photopeach.com]

Another presentation tool that my students could use to showcase their learning on a particular topic is voicethreads. URL: [|www.voicethread.com]

The last tool that I would like to try to use in my language arts class would be blogging. This could be used as a comprehension assessment. Students can blog about the novels and short stories read in class, and instead of doing a lot of quizzes. Then we could spend time in class discussing what they have read. URL:[]

1. Voice thread: I think this is fantastic! I have looked through many examples, and it seems like a great tool for student to display their knowledge of the content. This could be used for a book report or a project at the end of a book unit. For example, after we read The Odyssey, the students could create a Voice thread that relates Odysseus' journey to a journey they have been through in their life. This would be a great way for me to see that they understood the content, but also a way for them to think about literature and compare it to their own life.

2. Glogster: My inclusion students usually create posters for their research project. They would paste pictures, titles, captions, and their paragraphs on a poster. Instead, I can use Glogster which is an online poster tool.

3. Weebly: Students can create their own free website. I could use this in the same way I use Voice Thread, at the end of a unit or for a book report project. For a book report project, students could create a website based on the book or the main character(s).

1. Museum Box [] This is a Youtube video about Museum Boxes. I found this really neat 2.0 tech tool that students can use called Museum Box. Museum Box is a web 2.0 tool that will allow you to create a virtual display. This site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items such as an image, video, or web link in a virtual box. I added a Museum Box page to my mystery wiki which explains this assignment to students and provides them with the link. I created my own which was really easy (I do not yet have administrator approval to post the Museum Box I created). I think students would enjoy putting their own boxes together. Above you will see the link to the Museum Box site. Here is the link to the page I created on my wiki to reflect this assignment: http://ohdelamysterywiki.wikispaces.com/Museum+Box+Assignment

2. Timetoast Timelines [] Students can use Timetoast Timelines to create a timeline about the mystery genre. This 2.0 tech tool has the ability to put in the event, date, description, image, and web link. I created a timeline detailing the history of detective novels: [] Also, I added this task to my mystery wiki: http://ohdelamysterywiki.wikispaces.com/The+History+of+the+Mystery+Story+Timeline

3. Animoto – Book Trailer Assignment [] Students will use Animoto to create a book trailer for their mystery. I have watched quite a few book trailers, some of course better quality than others but think it is an excellent tool for students end the unit with. They can get their creative juices flowing as they work to create a video that can be posted on our class wiki. I think students will be proud of their creations and will be very motivated to finish up our mystery unit with this activity. I have included on the class wiki Book Trailer page a document for them to refer to as they work to create the book trailer using Animoto which includes guidelines, a planning template, and a rubric. http://ohdelamysterywiki.wikispaces.com/Mystery+Book+Trailer+Assignment <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">[|Mystery+Novel+Book+Trailer+Animoto+Project+Outline+and+Rubric.doc]

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">I think that all three of the above web 2.0 technologies could be used as formative assessments to assess students’ progress with the common core language arts standards.

3 products students could create to display knowledge:

1. For the social studies classes one way that students could display content knowledge is through Pegby. The notecards are easily manipulated and moved. The students who need differentiation are accommodated, as they can post facts where students who are able to operate with higher thinking skills can use other methods. __[]__

The wiki is so obvious, I’m embarrassed to suggest it, but I have found it to be very useful and diverse. It gives the students a forum for exchanging ideas and comparing information. There is always room to grow on a wiki.

The timeline generator is something that can be useful in social studies or in the history of rock class that is new this year. __[]__ Last year we made a cut and paste paper timeline of WWII, and it because a nearly unmanageable project just for the scope of information as the students added. They were reluctant to eliminate information they had added even if it was already posted on the timeline due to the labor intense search, writing out, and mounting the information. On the web version, the students can edit without destroying each others work.
