Thing 6

When I went to go2web20 I didn't just choose one website to explore. I decided to explore what websites they have on their site enrich my experience.

  • While looking through the various sites I saw Skype on the list. I use Skype to talk to friends overseas, my boyfriend while I'm away and FaceTime isn't working. I think Skype would be a great tool to use in the classroom if you knew a teacher in another country or state. This could let the children see other children in different parts of the world and learn first hand from them about their culture. www.skype.com
  • YouTube is a site that everyone knows. I plan to use YouTube in my classroom as a future teacher. One of the "benefits"of being a history teacher is there is so many different documentaries that I could use in the classroom. There is also a need page I found made by history teachers that make song about various history events. www.youtube.com  
  • I thought Inslices was a neat site. It allows you to save your favorites sites and organize them while you are surfing the web. I plan to use Inslices to help keep the websites I find useful in organized instead of having a ton of book marks! www.inslices.com
