We used a website called www.slide.com. Using this website we created mini slides that show what features this website has to offer. I learned that there are websites available to use for many purposes. These websites have features that allow people to be creative. I would have my students use this website as a way to show the different parts of a story such as the beginning, the climax and so on.

WIKI

Today we explored the uses of wikis. We also learned that documents can be shared and edited amongst groups that are collaborative with each other to reach a shared goal. I would use these collaborative websites as a means of correcting major assignments that my students may have.

We used the following websites today:
googleodocs.com
zoho.com
PBwiki.com
