I found the tools that I explored very interesting. I think that using Shelfari would be a quick way to keep up with the ever increasing amount of books that are available for professional development. I loved that you could see what others were reading, or have read already.
Big Huge Labs was a fun site to explore. I though this website would be great when planning class celebrations, or when shopping for gifts for family members. I like the idea of being able to create puzzles with custom designs. I think this could be helpful in many content, and non-content areas.
Jing is a tool that I could see being using by me as a teacher, and also by students. Since it is a program that has to be downloaded, it would have to be done at school in small groups; however, I think this tool could be used in student presentations. Students could work in small groups, or with the teacher to select information or videos to be included in a presentation, or project. I would not use this tool with my entire class. This would be a tool that would be reserved for extension or enrichment activities with my higher reading groups.
