Thing 11

Thing 11: Web 2.0 tools

GoAnimate:

I am planning to use go animate in a lesson I am doing that will be a technology interactive writing lesson. I will make the animation with the students, and they will come up and help me spell words and find the letter on the keyboard.
I was just messing around on GoAnimate, and this is the link to the animation I created:
Proper Greeting

Web 2.0 sites:
Stumble Upon
I am a recent subscriber to StumbleUpon and Pinterest. The are two different web 2.0 websites that are amazing is similar and different ways. To become a member of both of the sites you can sign up to be on a list or you can be invited by friends. After creating a username, you must click on different categories provided by the website that interest you, for example: music, fashion, design, art, photography. On Stumble Upon they "stumble" your interests, and each time you press stumble it provides you with a pages that might interest you. Pinterest has you create boards, and pins, but stumble upon just gives you a like option. I am obsessed with both of these websites, and I have recommended them to all of my friends. I think these web 2.0 tools are not a great boredom buster, but they are useful when it comes to just about anything. I have a board on pinterest that is titles "cute classroom ideas" and I have pins of differnt pictures from blogs, and photos of classrooms that are inspiring to me.
