Week 5, Thing 10





I really enjoyed exploring and creating with the online image generator. This tool could be used in a school setting not only to enhance a presentation of information to the students, but also increase the creativity of the teachers in keeping their students focused on the presentation .

Week 4, Thing 9

I explored the Syndi8 search tool and liked using the "various category" listing and the capability of expanding a search.

Week 4, Thing 8

Working with the RSS and newsreader was exciting. I was fascinated at how quickly information could be retrieved without having to go through a lengthy and timely process. This Technology tool could be considered a valuable resource: (1) for students trying to locate information for a research project quickly, (2) for teachers seeking specific articles for lesson plans or professional development, and (3)for an individual's personal reading pleasure.
